Flash Cutting for Custom Gaskets
When you need custom gasket cutting quickly, accurately, and without the cost of dedicated tooling, Durlon flash cutting provides a flexible solution for maintenance teams, OEMs, distributors, and industrial facilities.
Using modern digital flatbed cutting equipment, we produce precision-cut gaskets from a wide range of sheet gasket materials. This process helps reduce lead times, improve part consistency, and support small-batch or one-off gasket requirements without the need for expensive dies.
Precision-Cut Gaskets Without Tooling Delays
Traditional die cutting can be a practical choice for high-volume repeat parts, but it often requires upfront tooling, added cost, and longer setup time. Flash cutting eliminates the need for custom dies, making it ideal for urgent orders, prototypes, replacement gaskets, and custom shapes.
With our CNC-controlled cutting table, Durlon can quickly and accurately cut almost any custom gasket profile, including complex geometries, non-standard bolt patterns, and application-specific dimensions.
Flash Cutting Benefits
Durlon flash cutting helps customers:
• Reduce downtime by shortening the path from gasket requirement to finished part.
• Avoid tooling costs when a die is not practical or economical.
• Order only what is needed with no minimum order requirement.
• Improve fit and consistency through digital CNC-controlled cutting.
• Support custom and non-standard applications without long setup delays.
• Maintain traceability with lot identification tags packaged with cut gaskets.
Machine and Process Capabilities
Our digital flatbed cutting machines are designed for precision, accuracy, and efficient setup. They can process various styles of sheet gasket materials, including CNA sheet gaskets, PTFE gaskets, and other single-layer or multilayer sheet materials, in thicknesses up to 8 mm / 5⁄16 in.
This machine-controlled process allows us to convert digital gasket profiles into finished parts with repeatable accuracy, helping customers meet demanding sealing requirements while maintaining flexibility in order size and design.
Ideal Applications for Flash Cut Gaskets
Flash cutting is well suited for:
• Custom gasket shapes
• Replacement gaskets
• Prototype gaskets
• Low-volume gasket runs
• Emergency maintenance requirements
• OEM-specific gasket profiles
• Non-standard flange or equipment designs
• Applications where die tooling is not cost-effective
Quality and Traceability
Every cut gasket is packaged with lot traceability identification tags in compliance with Durlon’s ISO Quality System. This helps customers maintain confidence in material origin, order consistency, and documentation throughout the supply chain.
Get the Gasket You Need, Cut to Fit
Whether you need a single replacement gasket, a custom prototype, or a repeatable low-volume run, Durlon flash cutting gives you a faster, more flexible way to get precision-cut gasket parts without unnecessary tooling delays.
