In the mass production of electronic devices, efficiency is measured not only by the precision of the EMI gasket or thermal interface material (TIM) but also by the time it takes for an operator to peel and apply it to the chassis. When working with flexible materials equipped with double-sided adhesives, traditional cutting methods can damage the protective liner, slowing down the assembly line.
Euro Technologies’ Plotter Cut service directly addresses this engineering challenge, leveraging Kiss-Cutting (half-cut) technology to optimize component integration during production.
Precise Handling of Laminated Materials
- Cut the material while preserving the liner: The blade cleanly slices through the gasket or thermal pad but stops exactly before nicking the underlying plastic or paper support.
- Create pull-tabs: The software can configure release tabs to facilitate the removal of the protective liner, reducing manual downtime on the assembly line to zero.
- Deliver ordered sheets or spools: The finished parts remain neatly anchored to their original carrier, ready for rapid manual picking or seamless integration into automated Pick-and-Place systems.
This approach transforms a simple piece of Laird elastomer into a true industrial-precision component. By minimizing material handling, the risk of adhesive contamination or elastic stretching of the gasket is eliminated, fully preserving the shielding and conductivity performance verified in the laboratory.
As a direct distributor of Laird solutions across the European market—with a direct presence in Italy, France, Germany, and Spain—Euro Technologies combines advanced material quality with rapid custom conversion to deliver timely responses to engineering team requirements.
