Processing examples of neoprene sponge frame gaskets
Processing examples of neoprene sponge frame gaskets | Responding to tape-attached shapes with water jet processing
■Overview of Processing Example Product Name: Neoprene Sponge Frame Gasket (with Single-Sided Tape) Dimensions: 190W × 320L (20mm Wide Frame) This processing example involves the fabrication of a frame-shaped gasket made from neoprene sponge material. It features a rectangular outer shape with an inner opening in a frame structure, and multiple mounting holes are arranged around the perimeter. One side is adhered with adhesive tape, enhancing the ease of assembly. The client’s industry is related to industrial equipment and devices. The characteristics of this product include water resistance and cushioning properties due to the neoprene sponge material, as well as the combination of frame shape and single-sided tape structure, which balances temporary fixation and work efficiency. Water jet processing was adopted for the manufacturing method. Since sponge materials are prone to crushing and dimensional variation with blade processing, non-contact processing is used to accurately reproduce the outer shape, inner shape, and hole positions according to the drawings, ensuring stable shape accuracy even after tape application.
basic information
■Product Features (Neoprene Sponge) Neoprene sponge (CR foam) is a material with an independent bubble structure, primarily composed of chloroprene rubber. It boasts excellent weather resistance and water-stopping properties, and the representative product C-4305 also has high flame retardancy with a UL94 HF-1 rating. It is widely used in applications requiring long-term reliability, such as waterproof seals for outdoor equipment and gaskets for electrical components. ■Processing Method (Water Jet Cutting) Water jet cutting is a water pressure cutting machine that uses high-pressure water to cut materials. It processes by spraying high-pressure water. By changing the injection nozzle according to the processing material, high-quality products can be produced in a short time. Additionally, the dimensional tolerances achieved through traditional manual processing are significantly improved, resulting in stable processing accuracy. The taper of the cut surface from press processing can also be improved with water jet cutting.
