Bay Rubber Company specializes in CNC knife cutting services, offering perforation, flash, dieless, through, and kiss cutting capabilities are available for precision processing of various materials. Speed cutting is achieved at 10 inches per second, supported by high performance servo motors. The system features a large bed size of 60 by 120 inches and a maximum Z-travel distance of 2.05 inches (55 mm) for flexible material handling. Material processing capability includes both flexible and rigid materials up to 2.00 inches thick. Accuracy is maintained with small feature tolerances of ±0.002 inches and repeatability of ±0.0005 inches per feet. Flash cutting increases yields, removes the need for cutting dies, and reduces labor costs.

Intended cutting materials include foam (up to 50 mm), rubber and its by-products (up to 25 mm) thickness, industrial fabrics, technical textiles, carbon fiber, Kevlar®, pre-preg, honeycomb, adhesives, laminated materials, plastics, paper, corrugated materials, leather, compressed and tang graphite, and multi-ply textiles. Applications cover gaskets, conveyor belting, interior upholstery, printed materials, footwear, fashion, apparel, automotive components, thermal shielding, matting, food and beverage production.

The equipment list includes Atom Flash Cut Flex and Atom Flash Cut Twins. Additional services offered are consultation, material procurement and storage, production planning, assembly, CNC machining, engraving, first article inspection, inventory management, rapid prototyping, precision cutting, reverse, and gasket engineering. Production volume ranges from a minimum of 1 to over 100,000 units, including prototype, low to high volume, and blanket orders. Lead times are quoted on a job by job basis, with emergency and rush services available. Efficiency is supported through lean manufacturing and just in time systems.

Industry focus spans aerospace, automotive, defense, medical, packaging, electronics, consumer goods, construction, printing, textiles, pharmaceutical, transportation, oil and gas. Compliance is maintained with key industry standards including ANSI, AS, ASME, ASTM, AWS, CE, CSA, DOT, FAA, FDA, ISO, Mil-Spec, NADCAP, QS, RoHS, SAE, and TS.
