Rubber Pad Press Forming

The rubber pads can have a general purpose shape like a membrane.

Rubber pad press forming.

The fully contained pad box prevents the rubber from extruding outside of the work area during the forming process. Rubber pad forming presses use an enclosed rubber or urethane pad box as a universal female die to form parts over a single un mated tool. The rubber die is forced on the blank and deform the blank into require shape. The form block is then machined according to each customer s unique specifications.

Thermoset urethane is an excellent option for forming pads used in hydraulic forming presses. Rubber pad forming process. The die is placed on lower bed and top of that soft die of rubber is placed. The rubber pads used in the process are made of hard urethane with dimensions of 43 inches by 51 inches each about 1 5 inches thick.

Urethane has a better reputation than rubber when working with metal regardless of thickness. Our rubber pad forming process begins with form block a material made from resin board aluminum or plastic. The tool is placed unsecured onto the bed bolster and downward pressure is applied. Rubber pad forming rpf is a metalworking process where sheet metal is pressed between a die and a rubber block made of polyurethane under pressure the rubber and sheet metal are driven into the die and conform to its shape forming the part.
