Die Cutting Capabilities

Die cutting is a specialized method used for cutting thin, flat materials such as plastics, electrical films, rubbers, and foams. American Micro Industries is well-equipped to handle various types of die cutting techniques, each suited for different production needs.

  • Rotary Die Cutting: One of the techniques employed is rotary die cutting, where a sheet of material is fed into a station, and a rotary tool moving at the same speed cuts or perforates it into the desired shape. This method is particularly efficient for quickly producing gaskets and similar components, making it a valuable option for rapid manufacturing.
  • Steel Rule Die Cutting: Another method is steel rule die cutting, which involves the creation of a custom steel tool, or die, designed to punch out specific shapes from a selected material. This technique is excellent for mass-producing custom die-cut components cost-effectively, ideal for budget-conscious projects requiring high volume output.
  • Laser Die Cutting: Lastly, laser die cutting is utilized for its precision. In this process, a laser cutting tool moves automatically to intricately cut the material into a specified shape. It is best suited for components that require extremely high precision or have complex designs, due to its capability to meet high tolerance requirements.
