ASSEMBLY
PLI has over 35 years of experience providing general and advanced
assembly for all your design needs. Whatever your requirements
may be, PLI strives to find a solution to suit your form,
fit
and function.
CAM
CUTTING
PLI has several cutting tables, which allows us to meet the
needs of large volume orders of major industries served. If
your design specifications can be die cut, we have the capability
to complete the task for you. Whatever your custom product
may be, PLI is ready to exceed your highest expectations with
prototyping capability and pre-production sampling available
up to 3” thick.
COMPRESSION
MOLDING
A method of molding in which the molding material, generally
preheated, is first placed in an open, heated mold cavity.
The advantage of compression molding is its ability to mold
large, fairly intricate parts. Compression molding produces
fewer knit lines and less fiber-length degradation than injection
molding. PLI has the capabilities and experience to mold quality
parts from most engineering designs. Give us a call today for
more information!
FOAM & TAPE
CONVERTING
PAK-LITE INC. is
a factory authorized foam tape fabricator and converter
for some of the most recognized companies in America.
Included are 3M foam tapes, Rogers, Gaska Tape,
Armacell, CCT and more
KISS
CUTTING
PLI has the ability to kiss-cut foam gasket parts of thick
non-rigid, as well as thin gage foam, rubber and foil materials
that have PSA adhesive on 1 or 2 two-sides; or multiple thickness
laminations of two or more materials. PLI can back slit liners
for specific applications with release liners. Call us today
for more technical specifications and details.
LAMINATING
Extrusion laminating to foam, rubber, films and nonwovens.
Applications in medical, marine, automotive, industrial,
military and flooring. We specialize in the lamination of
all foam materials like PE polyethylene, PP polypropylene,
EVA, open-cell, closed cell, cross-link foam, rubber materials,
felts, fleece and nonwovens. PLI’s advanced converting and
engineering capabilities has been a premier trademark for
our continued success.
PROTOTYPING
The ability to provide customers with pre-production
parts to ensure Form, FIT and Function prior to final design
or production release.
ROTARY
DIE CUTTING
Precision foam die cutting to foam parts and gaskets. Laminated
and cutting with a variety of adhesive materials. These materials
can include neoprene, nonwovens, foils, foams, rubber neoprene
and other composites for automotive and marine
SPOOLING
PLI offers custom contract spooling services and adjustable
traverse-winding services to 30 " provide
manufacturers with vastly longer lengths of thin PSA gasket
materials. A full range of spooling patterns are available
to optimize the stability and pattern which best suits your
materials.
SKIVING
PLI offers automated bun splicing ability allows for skived
materials (as thin as 1mm) such as expanded rubber (neoprene),
natural and synthetic, open and closed-cell foams, sponge
rubber, EVA, PE foam, PVC foam, felt, plastics, and similar
materials for cutting with dies.
THERMOFORMING
Thermoforming is a manufacturing process used for making thermoplastic
sheet or film. In this process thermoplastic sheet is formed
into three-dimensional shapes by clamping the sheet in a
frame, heating the sheet to make to soft and then applying
differential pressure to make the sheet conform to the shape
of a mold or die. The sheet or film is heated between infrared,
natural gas or other heaters to its forming temperature.
