Recommended Workflow

From Material Test to Production

Oscillating knife cutting removes die cost for prototypes, short runs and frequent shape changes.

Material and Thickness

Send material type, thickness, density/hardness and application details.

Tool Recommendation

RIGO engineers test cutting tool, speed, depth and holding method.

Machine Configuration

Choose table size, feeding, camera, tools, vacuum and component brands.

Why Digital Cutting

Better for Custom Orders and Small Batches

These applications often involve frequent shape changes, sample orders and mixed materials.

Application Details

Material, Tool and Production Checks

Use these points to prepare a real sample test before quotation. RIGO will confirm the final tool and configuration from your actual material.

Material Examples

  • rubber sheet
  • silicone
  • cork
  • graphite sheet
  • non-asbestos gasket material

Thickness Range

Typical gasket work should be tested by material hardness and thickness, especially when small holes or narrow bridges are required.

Recommended Tools

Oscillating knife is the normal starting point. Drag knife may fit thin materials; punching or routing should be considered for repeated holes depending on the drawing.

Vacuum Requirement

Flat sheet holding is important. Small parts may need proper bridge design, vacuum zoning or tab strategy.

Common Production Issues

Common issues include material stretching, small-hole deformation, edge burrs, repeated design changes and low-volume custom orders.

Finished Products

Finished products include flange gaskets, sealing pads, maintenance parts, insulation pads and custom rubber components.

Sample Test Requirement

What to Send Before Quotation

Send material name, thickness, Shore hardness if available, hole size, smallest feature and DXF/PDF drawing.

Is CNC cutting better than gasket dies?

For prototypes, maintenance parts and short runs, CNC cutting avoids die cost and supports fast drawing changes.

Can it cut small gasket holes?

Small features depend on material hardness, tool diameter, blade condition and holding. A sample test is required.

Need a tested machine configuration?

Send your material, thickness, drawing and daily output. RIGO engineers will recommend the suitable machine, tools and options.
