CNC Knife Cutting & CNC Perforating Services

Also known as dieless cutting or flash cutting, CNC knife cutting is considered a dieless cutting operation because of the absence of traditional steel ruled dies. The process converts G-code from a Digital eXchange Format (.dxf) file to determine a path for the 3-axis tool head to follow. The CNC knife cutter performs a continuous manufacturing operation until the cut command has been completed The knife-cutting tables have a bed size of 60” x 120”, maximum Z-travel distance of 55mm or 2.05”, servo motors and multi-tool options capable of processing a wide variety of flexible and rigid materials, up to 2.00”

Bay Rubber's CNC knife cutting & perforating services offer a mix of manufacturing capabilities and specialized tooling options resulting in extraordinarily tight tolerance manufacturing, excellent small feature resolution, reduced processing time, and customizable machining options.

Bay Rubber Company offers additional services including consultation, material procurement & storage, production planning and more. Our Dieless cutting services can add value to any size project or company. Once a Digital Exchange Format file is submitted a “digital die” is created and material is brought to the manufacturing floor. Concept to tangible products in minutes is a reality with Bay Rubber's CNC knife cutting & perforating services.

Benefits of Bay Rubber CNC Knife Cutting Services
  • Flash Cutting Increases Yields
    • Production increases and reduced waste material equal better yields
    • Automatic nesting through integrated software – nest shapes within shapes
    • Centers, remnants and wads are utilized rather than stored or scrapped
    • Material does not have to be blocked or stripped
    • Parts can be placed closer together due to no ejection on cutting die or gang die
  • Flash Cutting Eliminates Cutting Dies
    • No waiting for dies to be built
    • No dies needed for new parts
    • No dies needed for design change or samples
    • No dies to be stored or repaired
  • Flash Cutting Decreases Labor Costs
    • Eliminate hand cutting – created simple flanges at user interface
    • Eliminate additional steps such as blocking or stripping material
  • Dieless Cutting is More Versatile than Other Cutting Methods
    • Unlike traditional die cutting, a knife cutting table does not require cutting dies – zero concavity
    • Unlike water jet cutting, flash cut parts do not get wet & cut quality is better on most materials
    • Unlike laser cutting, a knife table does not produce toxic odor or fumes
