Video - What is a Flash Cutter? The 411 on Flash Cutters for Gaskets and Seals
The flash cutter was invented more than 80 years ago and was a revolution for the sealing industry.
Flash cutting is dieless, automated process, utilizing a reciprocating knife cutting system guided by a CNC machine to create custom parts in a matter of minutes. Patterns can be uploaded directly from CAD programs to begin immediate production on your project.
Flash cutters are very accurate and minimize material waste, helping to maximize yield to help lower the cost of parts.
They are versatile machines, more flexible than die cut machines. Flash cutters are suitable for low to mid-volume orders with a wide variety of materials available for customization.
