QUICK TURNAROUND
Precision Shape Cutting
Lake Charles Rubber & Gasket leverages its Atom flash cutter to deliver precision die-cutting and high-throughput production for a wide range of rubber, gasket, foam, and non-metallic materials, combining speed with repeatable accuracy to meet demanding industrial specifications; the Atom flash cutter’s advanced platen design and quick-change tooling enable rapid setup for prototype runs and large-volume orders alike, minimizing lead times while maintaining tight tolerances for complex shapes, intricate internal cutouts, and multi-layer laminates, and its programmable stroke control and pressure adjustment allow delicate materials to be processed without distortion or edge fraying. Integrated quality controls and tooling diagnostics reduce scrap and downtime; operators at Lake Charles Rubber & Gasket pair the machine’s capabilities with in-house CAD/CAM and precision die-making to produce custom parts per customer drawings, from single-piece seals and O-rings to large, multi-port gaskets and custom hose end pads. The Atom flash cutter supports a broad thickness range and works effectively with nitrile, EPDM, neoprene, silicone, PTFE-encapsulated fabrics, cork, cellulose, and various foams and composites, enabling applications across hydraulics, fluid sealing, vibration isolation, gasketing for flanges, and protective padding. Secondary finishing options such as skiving, bead rolling, and post-clearing are coordinated on-site to deliver ready-to-install components, and the shop’s experience with material selection, durometer matching, and certificate traceability ensures parts perform in temperature extremes, chemical environments, and high-pressure hydraulic systems. Whether customers need single custom prototypes for validation or recurring production with kitting and inventory management, Lake Charles Rubber & Gasket’s Atom flash cutter capability is a core asset in providing fast turnaround, consistent quality, and cost-effective manufacturing solutions tailored to industrial maintenance, OEM, and repair needs.
UNBEATABLE CUTTING DIVERSITY
Lake Charles Rubber & Gasket’s Flow Waterjet capability delivers high-precision, versatile cutting for a wide range of materials and applications, enabling us to meet demanding customer specifications with speed and repeatable accuracy. Our Flow Waterjet system cuts rubber, gasket materials, plastics, composites, metals, tile, stone, and other substrates to complex profiles and tight tolerances without heat-affected zones, preserving material properties and eliminating the need for secondary machining in many cases. We support both straight and beveled cuts, intricate internal contours, slotted features, and nesting to maximize material yield, and we can process parts from prototype quantities to full production runs. Using CAD/CAM integration, we accept customer drawings, DXF/DWG files, and sample parts to program precise cutting paths, and we offer kerf compensation, part labeling, and batching for streamlined assembly and installation. Our experienced operators optimize feed rates, abrasive selection, and cutting parameters by material type and thickness to deliver smooth edge finishes and minimal taper; for thicker or harder materials we combine abrasive waterjet cutting with fixturing and multi-step processes to maintain accuracy. We also provide value-added services such as custom part inspection, protective packaging, and just-in-time fulfillment, and we can coordinate gasket fabrication, bonding, and assembly when clients require finished components rather than raw cut parts. Whether customers need emergency rush service, tight-tolerance seals for hydraulic systems, complex multi-material assemblies, or large-format cutting for industrial applications, Lake Charles Rubber & Gasket’s Flow Waterjet capability offers a reliable, low-thermal-impact solution that reduces lead times, minimizes waste, and integrates seamlessly with our broader materials and fabrication services.
