Rubber Bonded to Bent Metal Tube
A difficult automotive application required this component with a formed-tube insert to be bonded to a rubber outer cover during vulcanization. The variation in insert height posed a particular challenge in order to insure proper shutoff on the insert and minimize the occurrence of rubber filling up the ID. Custom Rubber developed a precise injection transfer mold with a unique knockout board to insure high productivity while minimizing scrap.
