Rubber Pad Press Forming

Our rubber pad forming process begins with form block a material made from resin board aluminum or plastic.

Rubber pad press forming.

Rubber pad forming process. The rubber pads used in the process are made of hard urethane with dimensions of 43 inches by 51 inches each about 1 5 inches thick. The die is placed on lower bed and top of that soft die of rubber is placed. The form block is then machined according to each customer s unique specifications.

The fully contained pad box prevents the rubber from extruding outside of the work area during the forming process. During the rubber pad forming process the punch deforms the blank and apply large pressure. Rubber pad forming presses use an enclosed rubber or urethane pad box as a universal female die to form parts over a single un mated tool. The rubber pads can have a general purpose shape like a membrane.

Urethane has a better reputation than rubber when working with metal regardless of thickness. Thermoset urethane is an excellent option for forming pads used in hydraulic forming presses. Rubber pad forming rpf is a metalworking process where sheet metal is pressed between a die and a rubber block made of polyurethane under pressure the rubber and sheet metal are driven into the die and conform to its shape forming the part. The rubber pad forming process is also called as guerin process.
