DIE CUTTING

Die Cutting affords the most economical production method available for most two-dimensional parts. We cut most every type of rubber and plastic foam, sponge, solid sheet, diaphragm sheet, cork and rubber compositions, felt, sound attenuation and vibration control materials, and many thin plastic films for electrical insulation applications. Electro-magnetic Insulating and Thermal Insulating materials are an important part of our large inventoried material mix.

Die cutting is not just an activity at Greene. It is a value-added process.

We start by verifying your needs: Before we cut a material, we first make sure it's right for you. Does it give you optimum value and performance for the application at hand? Our strength is in having application knowledge for rubber, sponge, and foam.

Then we verify your tolerances: Too often "metal-working" tolerances add unnecessary cost to an otherwise simple rubber or sponge part.

Finally, we'll explore your hidden concerns: Can special packaging help? Will marking or adhesive aid your process? Would parts kiss-cut on a liner for easy pick and place be best for your final assembly process? What are your delivery concerns? All shipments are made at an agreed upon date, plus or minus one day.

The rest is left to the technician. Do we start with sheet material? Mold a custom compound or a special thickness? Perhaps we can cut an extrusion to length? Will we use an ordinary steel rule die? Possibly a laser die? Water-jet? Or multiple processes?

The right material is combined with the correct fabrication process, passes through in-process audits and a final quality inspection. We are a Mil-I-45208 fabricator and ISO 9001:2000 certified through NQA Cert.# 6811.

Use our die-cutting facilities to get started. We work from an inventory position. We will cut prototype pieces. Because we control the means and the tools, we can help bring your product to market almost instantly.

Our capacity for extended runs is huge. In some circumstances we are willing to build custom equipment dedicated to your needs. We realize the true value of a ten-cent part going into a million dollar market. We do it right the first time!
