WHAT is a Steel Rule Die?

It’s like a cookie cutter installed in maple plywood, lexan, or rayform. It can be inserted into a machine (automated or manual) which is then used to cut the materials.

EJECTION RUBBER

You won’t get buried alive in paperwork and late orders waiting for a steel rule die from us. We can promise you a quick turnaround and quality second to none at a price that won’t suck the life out of you.

WHAT is Rubber and WHY do I need it?

  • Ejection Rubber, sometimes called packing is put on the die to push the part off. There is anywhere from extra firm to soft foam, open cell, closed cell, cork, or specially manufactured rubber for the die industry. It is available in strips, blocks, or full sheets.
  • Correct rubbering will reduce tonnage and increase press speed.

We have the experience to know that how a die is rubbered affects its performance.  That is why we…

  • Use custom waterjet rubber when needed.
  • Use various durometers, thicknesses, and heights. (even on one die as needed)
  • Test ejection on our press with sample materials supplied.
  • Stock a full range of most ejection rubber materials.
  • Use the right material to do the job right!
