Rubber punching

During Punching of double-sided adhesive foils, the two-sided adhesive film materials on both sides are contour-cut into precisely defined shapes—matched exactly to the component geometry and the assembly process.

This solution is particularly advantageous when:

• two substrates are to be permanently joined
• precise fits in the serial production process are required
• thin, nearly invisible adhesive bonds are desired
• assembly times should be reduced and processes automated

Punched adhesive foils enable a clean, reproducible, and assembly-ready solution.

Almost all market-standard double-sided systems can be processed, e.g.,:

• Double-sided transfer adhesive films (without carrier)
• Carrier-based adhesive films (e.g., PET carrier)
• Thin high-performance films for permanent bonding
• Foam-based double-sided systems
• Custom-laminated multilayer composites

Additionally, adjustments such as adhesive formulation changes, one- or two-sided modifications, or the replacement of the protective cover (paper or film liner) are possible.

The achievable precision depends on the material structure and the overall thickness.

Through modern punching technology as well as optical quality control, tight dimensional tolerances and high repeatability are possible – even for intricate contours, internal cutouts, or functional openings.

Depending on the application process, a range of finishing options is available:

• Loose individual parts
• On rolls (for automatic feeding)
• On sheets
• With finger lift or peel-off aid
• With defined non-adhesive areas
• With modified protective cover
• As an installation-ready, multi-layer composite solution

The configuration is tailored precisely to the intended assembly process – manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic.

Cost efficiency is determined, among other factors, by:

• Film type and total thickness
• Type of adhesive (e.g., for low-energy substrates)
• Contour complexity
• Tooling effort
• Quantity
• Additional processes such as laminating, liner changes, or application aids

Modular manufacturing processes enable both prototypes and production runs to be produced cost-effectively.

To enable accurate costing, the following information is helpful:

• Technical drawing or die-cut contour
• Material specification or substrate details
• Overall thickness and the desired adhesive type
• Requirements for temperature, UV, or chemical resistance
• Desired delivery form
• Project or annual quantity
• Information about the application process

The more precise the information, the more efficiently the optimal adhesive solution can be developed.

Samples and pre-series can be produced on short notice.

Thanks to flexible stamping and converting processes, rapid test samples are possible – ideal for validations, pilot runs, or process optimizations.

Je nach Material, Kontur und Weiterverarbeitung können Gummistanzteile als Einzelteile, Bogenware oder Rollenware gefertigt werden. Die Seite nennt Trägermedien als Rollen- und Bogenware sowie Einzelteile. Bei selbstklebenden Varianten können zusätzlich Liner, Abziehhilfen oder definierte Trägermedien eingesetzt werden.

Für eine Anfrage sind Zeichnung oder Skizze, Materialtyp, Materialdicke, Shore-Härte, gewünschte Kontur, Stückzahl, Lieferform und Einsatzfunktion hilfreich. Zusätzlich sollte angegeben werden, ob das Gummiteil selbstklebend sein soll und ob besondere Anforderungen wie Dichtung, Schutz, Temperaturbeständigkeit, Medienkontakt oder Abriebfestigkeit bestehen.

Muster oder Kleinserien können je nach Materialverfügbarkeit und Machbarkeit geprüft werden. Besonders bei Gummi ist eine Vorprüfung sinnvoll, weil Härte, Dicke, Elastizität und Kontur stark beeinflussen, ob Stanzen wirtschaftlich und technisch geeignet ist.
