Automatic ejection rubber profile design saves time, money and material
EskoArtwork's new ArtiosCAD 7.3 includes a rubber design module for ejection rubber profiles. This feature is an automatic, one-click solution for creating ejection rubber profiles for a cutting die using a set of configurable rules. The system even recognises nicks and bolt holes. Parameter sets can be stored for different customers and die types.
A range of editing tools allows adjustments to the automatic solution, providing full flexibility and control over ejection rubber designs. For example, an automatic layout feature can ‘nest' cutting profiles for efficient use of rubber sheets, saving time, production and materials costs.
General manager of Schroeder & Bogardus Die Co, Anaheim, USA, Terry Schroeder, said: "We use the ArtiosCAD 7.3 rubber design module to help create the rubber on a die board used to eject the material from the tooling. The module allows us to quickly and automatically create the rubber geometries for a variety of jobs. The feature is very robust and versatile, lending itself to packaging tooling as well as non-packaging applications. The file format is very open: we use it with our laser cutter. Overall, the ArtiosCAD 7.3 rubber design module makes production of our dies much easier."
