The form-in-place-foam-gasket machine adds an IP66 rated elastomeric foam gasket to sheet metal components, ensuring materials are dust-proof and water tight.

Benefits of the FIP foam gasket application include:

• Complex gasket shapes can be produced following the form of the sheet metal product component, ensuring a tight seal regardless of the complexity of the product
• Greater cost savings. FIP gaskets are dispensed directly onto the sheet metal product component by CNC robots, providing significant cost savings
• Less waste
• Shorter lead times
• Multiple material combinations to support countless applications
• Excellent adhesion
• Greater precision and tighter tolerances
• High repeatability; the form-in-place-foam-gasket machine produces identical gaskets every time. Each gasket design is stored allowing exact replication from one batch to the next.

The liquid gasket line provides a particular advantage in sheet metal manufacture of electrical distribution and control boxes.

If you are looking to produce switchboard cabinets, electrical enclosures, data cabinets, vending machines, inspection hatches, instrument cases or any other type of sheet metal enclosure requiring water tight and dust proof doors or hatches, FORM2000’s Melbourne sheet metal factory has unparalleled capability.
