Foam die-cutting

Foam punching enables the production of custom-shaped seals, insulators, or spacers – ideal for technical applications with complex geometries. Krückemeyer fabricates foam stampings to exact specifications and optimizes the process to meet your requirements.

Technique	Punching using a band-steel cutting tool
Working width	up to 600 mm
Thickness	up to 10 mm
Tolerances	±0.5 mm

In flat-bed punching, foam materials up to 10 mm thick are punched into virtually any 2D shape in a single stroke—including internal cutouts. This yields precise contours, tailored to your application.

If foams are to be stamped at defined locations — also as a composite with other materials — in custom shapes, we implement this precisely as well.

Häufige Fragen zum Schaumstoff stanzen

During foam punching, flexible or rigid foams are brought precisely into defined contours – well-suited for seals, spacers, cushions, or damping elements.

The process is particularly suitable when:

custom geometries are required
part tolerances need to be accommodated
vibration- or shock-damping properties are required
self-adhesive equipment should be integrated
assembly processes should be simplified or automated

Punched foam parts provide clean, fast, and repeatable processing.

A wide range of foam qualities can be processed, for example:

PE foams
PU foams
Cellular rubber
Closed-cell and open-cell materials
Self-adhesive backed foams
Multi-layer or composite materials

Through lamination, coating, or changing the adhesive system, custom material combinations can be realized.

The achievable tolerances depend on the material type, density, and thickness.

Thanks to modern punching technology and optical quality control, tight dimensional deviations and high repeatability are possible—even for complex contours or internal cutouts.

Depending on the application, various delivery formats are feasible:

Loose individual pieces
On a roll (for thinner materials)
On sheets
With single- or double-sided adhesive coating
With pull tab (finger lift)
As a multilayer composite solution

The configuration is matched precisely to the later assembly process – whether manual or automated.

The cost-effectiveness depends, among other things, on:

Material type, density, and thickness
Contour complexity
Tooling effort
Quantity
Additional processes such as laminating or coating
Packaging and delivery requirements

Modular manufacturing processes enable cost-effective production of both prototypes and production runs.

For a precise calculation, the following information is helpful:

Technical drawing or sketch
Material specification or requirement profile (e.g., sealing function, damping)
Material thickness and density
Self-adhesive or non-self-adhesive
Desired delivery form
Project or annual quantity

The more detailed the information, the faster a suitable solution can be developed.

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

Thanks to flexible production structures and in-house finishing, test parts can be realized quickly – ideal for development phases, approvals, or production ramp-ups.
