CNC laser cutter with CCD camera visual recognition system is used for precise cutting gaskets & seals made of rubber, neoprene, silicone, graphite, CNAF, PTFE, which is user-friendly and easy to use for beginners to accurately position the cut.
STJ1610-CCD CNC laser cutter with CCD camera is a precision cutting system fo gaskets & seals made of neoprene, nitrile (Buna-N), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), silicone rubber, viton, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), butyl rubber, natural rubber, cloth-inserted rubber, polyurethane rubber, food grade (FDA approved) rubber, graphite, CNAF, PTFE. The CNC laser cutter is also known as gasket laser cutting machine, rubber laser cutting machine, laser gasket cutting machine, laser rubber cutting machine, laser seal cutting machine, seal laser cutting machine.
The laser cutter cuts the rubber gaskets and seals by first locating the cut through a CCD camera, followed by a focused beam of light that melts and vaporizes the excessive parts of rubber and other sealing materials in a highly precise manner. The CNC controller drives the CO2 laser beam to automatically move along a tool path based on the gasket and seal design. High-accuracy material ablation with minimal thermal distortion allows for complex shapes and subtle details that are impossible to get with traditional cutters, resulting in clean, smooth cutting edges with tight tolerances for effective sealing in industrial manufacturing.

CNC laser cutting in processing rubber has revolutionized the industry by incorporating many advantages over traditional methods. This technology spans different aspects, such as precision to efficiency; it confers excellent benefits, especially in dealing with complex rubber materials.
CNC laser cutting is one of the most precise cutting techniques. The laser beam is condensed to a minute size, enabling the making of complex cuts with very small tolerances. It will result in rubber parts with clean edges, perfect for applications requiring exact measurements with minimal deviation.
Laser cutting is faster compared to many traditional methods, hence improving overall production efficiency. This speed is very valuable in high-demand environments, reducing downtime while increasing throughput, especially when working with large volumes of rubber parts.
Laser cutters have small kerfs, which means minimal material can be wasted. The precision of laser cutting allows for the manufacture of each part as near to the design as possible to optimize material use, thereby reducing overall costs, especially those involving expensive rubber material.
Some of the strong points associated with laser cutting systems include their versatility, which makes them able to work with different thicknesses of rubber without any tool changes or adjustments. Whether the rubber is thin or thick, the laser cutter can adjust the power to suit the material, hence flexibility in production.
Since it does not physically touch the material, there is no mechanical stress on the rubber, which avoids deformation or even damage to the parts during the cutting process.
The integration of a CCD camera in laser cutting systems marks a new epoch for precision and automation. This technology enhances cutting accuracy, simplifies alignment, and improves the overall effectiveness of the laser cutting process, therefore proving particularly useful when it comes to difficult designs or high volumes.
A CCD camera aligns the cutting path precisely to the material. The camera automatically scans and readjusts the positioning of the workpiece to minimize human error and ensure cuts are aligned with specifications, especially for intricate or irregular patterns.
The CCD camera smoothes out the workflow, allowing for real-time adjustments during the cutting process. This allows for quicker setup times and reduces manual recalibration, improving overall production speed and reducing any type of downtime.
By improving the alignment and precision of each cut, a CCD camera helps minimize errors that could lead to material waste. This ensures that the rubber is used efficiently, contributing to cost savings, especially when working with expensive rubber materials.
The CCD camera can be integrated with automated laser cutting systems for increased speed and accuracy in processing. Automation reduces the need for manual input and helps maintain consistent results throughout a long production run, thereby improving operational efficiency.
A laser cutting system with a CCD camera can execute more complicated designs. Since the camera is accurate in tracking the position of the material, the cuts will be more precise and detailed, which could be quite challenging to do manually; this allows more design flexibility.
Your choice between CNC laser cutting and traditional rubber cutting methods will depend on your specific project needs. The strengths of each are different, so knowing this will enable the most efficient production of your rubber gasket and seal.
CNC Laser Cutting | Traditional Rubber Cutting Methods |
CNC laser cutting offers high precision, allowing for clean, accurate cuts with minimal material waste. It provides tight tolerances that are difficult to achieve with other methods. | Traditional methods like die cutting or hand cutting often result in less accuracy, leading to uneven edges or more material waste. Achieving tight tolerances can be challenging with these techniques. |
Laser cutting is fast, able to process complex designs quickly, and reduces production time. This efficiency often lowers overall costs. | Traditional methods are generally slower, especially when cutting intricate designs, and may require more time for setup and manual intervention. |
Laser cutters are flexible and can easily adjust to different rubber types and thicknesses without needing to change tools or settings. | Traditional cutting methods often require different dies or tools for different materials, making them less adaptable to varying rubber types. |
The narrow cut width of a laser reduces the amount of material wasted, resulting in more cost-effective production, especially for small or detailed parts. | Traditional methods typically generate more material waste due to wider cuts or the need for additional trimming. |
CNC laser cutters can be fully automated, reducing the chance of human error and ensuring consistent results. | Traditional methods may require more manual handling, increasing the potential for inconsistencies and errors. |
In summary, CNC laser cutting provides greater precision, speed, and flexibility compared to traditional rubber-cutting methods. However, traditional techniques may still be useful for specific, simpler applications or larger production volumes.

If you want more precise and faster cutting, you might want to take a look at our CNC digital knife cutting machine for gaskets and seals, which is more professional and ideal for high-volume gasket cutting in industrial manufacturing.
This laser cutter does what it is intended to do - cuts very clean shapes and outlines in sealing materials. Its budget friendly, and easy to operate for starters with precision and quickness. I have to say, the STJ1610-CCD is an ideal choice if you need to make seals or cut washers from rubber stock at a low cost.
Fast delivery. I received the test video of my laser cutter within 15 days when i sent the payment. STYLECNC told me everything of the importing. Before arriving, they had sent me all the details and the docus, helped me a lot. When the machine first arrived, i was a little confused about how to install the laser tube, but i found an English manual which is sooo helpful! With videos, detailed training steps. I really appreciated!
