Kiss Cut technology for rubber and felt parts
Flat products of porous rubber, stickers or felt applied easily with Kiss Cut technology
The new state-of-the-art Kiss Cut techno-
logy enables the production of very small
and complex shapes, making it ideal for
manufacturers of electronics, glass or fine
mechanics. It will also be used by many
other sectors. This method is suitable for
customers who need larger quantities of
self-adhesive flat products of more com-
plex shapes in the smallest possible sizes
and shapes (up to 300 mm).
"The customer receives products from
us in the form of flat parts cut on a sticker.
The individual shapes thus remain on the
supporting material, usually wound on a
roll or stored horizontally in strips on a
pallet. This makes them easy to work with.
This method is excellent for the producti-
on of seals, cushions, insulation parts, de-
corative or protective elements or internal
machine parts," explains Petr Všetula, Pro-
duction Director at Gumex.
Why Kiss Cut?
The advantage of this new technology is
not only the ease of use, but also the abi-
lity to produce complex shapes, including
the so-called fingerlift, i.e. a tab with which
even a dimensionally small or thin die-cut
part can be easily removed from the carrier.
With Kiss Cut you can also cut multiple
parts at once. All this speeds up final assem-
bly, streamlines production and product
use. The base on which the sticker is pla-
ced can be a variety of different materials
– from rubber to felt to cork.
"We always select the suitable base ma-
terial for the final product individually
according to what the customer expects
from the product. In addition, we can also
cut the material the customer supplies,"
explains Všetula, adding that the service is
ideal for manufacturers of electronics,
glass or finer mechanics. However, a wide
range of customers will benefit from its
advantages.
With the inclusion of the Kiss Cutting
method in its service portfolio, Gumex
now provides its customers with a com-
plete flat sealing service. The company al-
so offers plotter cutting, milling, waterjet
cutting of larger or stronger materials or
cutting on a die-cutting press.
"Our production is quite comprehensive
in this respect - we are prepared for virtu-
ally all possible types of seal modificati-
ons. All the customer has to do is tell us
what properties they expect from the final
product and we will recommend the most
suitable technology and material. Consul-
ting is an integral part of our services,"
concludes Všetula.
