Start with the protection requirement
Define the operating environment and the target protection rating. An IP rating applies to the finished enclosure, not to the gasket material or dispensing process alone. Verification must reflect the final assembly conditions.
Define the joint
Provide drawings of the mating parts, the gasket path and the closing arrangement. Identify the substrate materials, the intended compression and any dimensional requirements that affect the joint. These details form part of the manufacturing review.
Consider FIPFG within the manufacturing route
Vesimentor manufactures plastic housings and applies robot-dispensed foam gaskets directly to the component. Moulding, gasketing and assembly can be coordinated within the agreed project scope. The choice between a formed-in-place gasket and another sealing arrangement depends on the product requirements.
Prepare the enquiry
- Drawings or 3D models of the complete enclosure and mating parts.
- Material grades and the operating temperature, chemical exposure and outdoor conditions.
- The target protection rating and the required verification method.
- Annual quantity, assembly requirements and customer-specific quality documentation.
