Process
Capabilities
With
the capability of providing critical components manufactured from a
wide range of processes there is no reason to have a second source.
The molding processes for custom shapes include injection, compression
and transfer of both Thermoset Rubber and injection as well as co-injection
of Thermoplastics materials. In addition to injection molding of plastics,
capabilities also exist for in-mold decorating and assembly of multiple
components.
Component Rubber Solution's extensive line of oil seals are manufactured
with precision, knife-trimmed sealing lip edges are created to offer
the highest level of oil seal lip integrity. There is over 600 lip and
can styles tooled and readily available for your application.
Our O-Rings are compression or injection molded to take advantage of
the least cost manufacturing method while maintaining a keen eye on
quality and material requirements.
Please contact Component Rubber Solutions to schedule a consultation
to discuss your cost cutting goals or your latest application. We will
be pleased to assist you in developing a plan to meet purchasing, engineering,
and production requirements.
