Composites Processing Machinery
Precision machining solutions for composite materials
Reliable technology for precision composite processing
Composite materials such as carbon fibre, glass-reinforced plastics (GRP), aluminium composite panels, laminated technical composites and gasket materials require precise, controlled machining. Layered structures, fibre orientation and material compressibility place high demands on machine rigidity, cutting accuracy and process control. Daltons supports manufacturers processing composite and gasket materials by supplying advanced CNC machinery and application-specific solutions, backed by technical expertise and long-term support.
Controlled processing for composites and gaskets
Successful processing of composites materials depends on stable machines, accurate toolpaths and controlled cutting forces. Daltons works with customers to specify machinery capable of delivering clean edges, tight tolerances and consistent part quality across both rigid composite panels and flexible gasket materials.
Our experience supports applications ranging from high-precision composite components to sheet-based gasket cutting for sealing and insulation applications.
The importance of suitable LEV for composite processing
Processing composite materials can generate fine dusts and airborne particles that must be effectively controlled. Suitable Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) is essential to protect operators, maintain a clean working environment and ensure compliance with health and safety requirements. Daltons works with customers to ensure machinery is correctly specified and integrated with appropriate extraction solutions, supporting safe, efficient and compliant composite processing.
Machinery for composite & gasket processing
Daltons supplies CNC machinery specifically suited to the challenges of composite and gasket materials, selected for rigidity, accuracy and reliability. Solutions can be supplied as standalone machines or integrated into automated production workflows.
Our composite and gasket machinery offering includes:
Multi-axis CNC machining centres from Kimla, delivering accurate cutting of composite panels and gasket materials
Sliding table and vertical panel saws from SCM and Elcon for fast, efficient and accurate sizing of composite sheets
Knife, routing and multi-tool CNC configurations, enabling efficient cutting of compressible gasket materials
iVision dust and swarf extraction systems tailored to help keep operators protected from airborne contaminates.
By matching machine configuration to material behaviour, we help customers process both rigid composites and flexible gasket materials efficiently and consistently.
