METHOD FOR MAKING PRESS-IN-PLACE GASKETS

摘要

Processes for making press-in-place (PIP) gaskets. Representative components with gasket cavities (grooves) are prepared and the cavities are filled with a curable molding material (22). Once the molded gaskets are hardened, they are removed from the cavities (12). The molded sample gaskets (30) are then measured, preferably by a laser scanner (50), and drawings (60) are prepared based on the measurement data. Appropriate tooling is then created and the gaskets are produced.
