Cutting
Rubber gaskets, cut and marked
EPDM gaskets, laser cut and marked. Compressible materials are cut without the crush distortion a die imposes.

Industry
Gaskets & Adhesives
LasX builds laser cutting systems for gasket and adhesive converting, and runs contract laser processing for converters who need parts before they need a machine.

Applications
What LasX equipment does in Gaskets & Adhesives
Kiss-cutting
Transfer adhesive on its liner
Adhesive cut to shape and left on its liner. Kiss-cut depth is controlled digitally.
Equipment
Cutting
Abrasive discs from a moving web
No die touches the material. The waste skeleton strips off and rewinds, and the finished discs leave on the take-away conveyor.

LaserSharp® modules cut compressible and adhesive-coated materials without the crush, tooling wear, and die-change downtime that mechanical cutting imposes.
- No die cost, no die storage, no die lead time
- Compressible materials cut without crush distortion
- Kiss-cut depth controlled digitally

Have us make the parts
Contract laser cutting of gaskets, seals, and adhesive-backed parts — prototype through production.
- Design iterations in hours, not die lead times
- No minimum order driven by tooling amortization
Compressible materials are where mechanical cutting fights physics. A die has to squeeze the material to cut it, and squeezing changes the part.

Questions we get asked
How do you control kiss-cut depth on release-lined stock?
Depth is a function of power, speed, and the absorption difference between the adhesive stack and the liner. The laser holds that depth digitally, so it does not drift the way a rotary die does as the blade wears. We establish it per material construction.
Can a laser cut what our die can't?
Often — it's the most common reason a die cutter sends us a job — small holes that lift off the liner, adhesives that load the die, inside cuts too intricate to strip. Minimum features run to 25 µm on laminates with NIR, green or UV sources and 50 µm in CO₂ production; on adhesives and foam, the trial sets the limit.
The fastest way to find out is to send us the material.
