Rubber seals are a versatile and essential component in a wide range of applications, from automotive and industrial equipment to electronics and aerospace systems. Crafted from elastomeric materials such as nitrile, silicone, or fluoroelastomers, these seals create a tight barrier that prevents the leakage of liquids, gases, or contaminants. Designed in various shapes and profiles, such as o-rings, gaskets, and custom-shaped seals, rubber seals work by conforming to mating surfaces, leveraging their compressibility and elasticity to maintain a consistent seal even in demanding environments.
Since rubber seals are so important, eliminating defective seals during production is essential. The following is an example of machine vision inspection of rubber sealing rings shared by Intsoft Technology.
