Examples of Projects
BPL Product Needs Rubber Expansion Lining
Custom Rubber Corp. Our original product for broadband over power lines (BPL) involved making a rubber lining to absorb the differing expansion and contraction rates of the magnetic material and the insulating covering. The specially formulated rubber compound does not interfere with the electronic workings of the unit, but has enough thickness and cusion to absorb the changing gap distance between the components when the weather changes.
The development of the material was done quickly with the help of a few of Custom Rubber Corp.'s strategic partners to identify the right level of conductivity and compression/expansion. Since this first product, Custom Rubber Corp. has continued to assist in later versions of the BPL solution.
Custom Rubber cuts turnaround time from 5 weeks to 6 days
When a manufacturer faced a five-week turnaround time from its regular supplier on a last-minute rush order, they called us. In just six days, we had the molds and were shipping product. Custom Rubber Corp. is now that company's key rubber supplier for a full line of products.
ESI development speeds GPS end product
Custom Rubber Corp. was part of the Early Supplier Involvement (ESI) for one of the first GPS systems created by a major electronics maker. Weekly meetings with the full design team helped us custom develop a rubber seal the connected pieces of the housing and provided a protective “bumper” from rough handling.
Cable box custom-component streamlines installation
To make it easier to correctly thread the bundles of cables into a cable box, Custom Rubber Corp. assisted with the design for an adhesive-backed rubber strip that fits over the large holes in the bottom of a cable box and subdivided them into easily identifiable pass-throughs for each cable. Our star-shaped holes also limit contamination inside the box.
