AUTOMOTIVE SOLUTIONS

Car owners rarely boast about the foam used in their car or truck – but without it, the vehicle wouldn’t feel as good, perform as well, or last as long. Whether you’re an industry engineer trying to eliminate squeaks and rattles, or an OEM manufacturer looking to absorb noise and seal interfaces, precision-cut foam components and materials can help build high-quality vehicles.

Overview of Precision Foam Skiving

Skiving entails pushing a solid block of polyurethane foam through the blade of a knife. The blade is actually a steel belt around 1mm (0.040″) thick with a very sharp edge, and is positioned horizontally above the machine table. To help the blade cut its looped over two drums that pull it perpendicular to the direction the block is moving. These two motions help the blade slice through the material, shaving off the thickness required.

Overview of Precision Slitting

Efficient manufacturing, whether of paper, cloth or foam, demands high volumes. To get the throughput, production lines are set up to make material in the widest possible widths. That’s why rolls straight from the mill, loom or foam producer are usually at least 72″ wide, sometimes much more.

Those rolls are convenient for shipping, distribution and storage, but for the end users, not so much. It depends on the application, but many want rolls that are somewhere between 1″ and 6″ wide. Getting to that width means slicing up the roll.

There are two ways of slitting wide rolls of material, rewind slitting and log slitting. Selecting the most appropriate depends on factors like the number of rolls needed, the type of material, and the edge quality sought.

Overview of Adhesive Lamination

Adhesive lamination allows you to combine materials with various characteristics giving you a combination of the properties you need. Here are some examples of foam properties you can utilize with adhesive lamination:

Density
Insulating properties
Flexibility
Sound absorption
Durability
Compressibility
Abrasion resistance

Breathability
Permeability
Solvent and chemical resistance
Appearance and aesthetics
Buoyancy and weight
Flammability and fire retardant specs
Regulatory approvals such as FDA, UL, ULC

Overview of Hot Wire Form Cutting

Hot wire form cutting is a process to “cut” polyurethane foam into desired shapes. It generally uses a thin wire bow that is heated to about 200 degrees by running current through it. When the heated wire comes into contact with the foam, it melts the area immediately surrounding it, creating a smooth, cut-like surface.
