Manufacturing · Rubber Gasket Manufacturer Management Software

One system for gasket patterns, sheet stock, nesting yield, steel rule dies and kits.

Manage gasket part numbers and pattern revisions, sheet stock by compound and hardness, nesting files, steel rule dies, spliced profile loops, kits and delivery in one system. Each order remembers the pattern it was cut from, the sheet it consumed and the yield it returned. Estimators, plotter operators, stores and packers read the same part record, from traced flange to labelled bag.

  • Part numbers, compounds and dies entered as your cutting shop names them
  • Sheet stock, open orders and traced patterns brought across
  • Changes to stages and part fields made by GullySystem staff on request

This software is set up around part numbers, pattern revisions, sheet stock, nesting yield and kits for makers of flat, moulded and extruded rubber gaskets. Each order notes its compound, its die or cutting file and the sheet it came from. Offcuts return to stock and bags are labelled with part and count.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

One flange exists as three different patterns

A hand sketch, a photo of a worn EPDM ring and a DXF file all describe the same part. The next order follows whichever turns up first. Nobody trusts any of them.

Nesting yield is never measured

Bolt hole rings are laid on a sheet by eye, and the web between them goes onto a scrap pile. Quotes keep last year’s waste allowance because no job reports its real figure.

Look-alike compounds sit mixed on the rack

Nitrile, neoprene, EPDM and Viton sheets in several Shore hardnesses look alike once the ink peels from the liner. A wrong compound gets cut, and the buyer finds it at the flange.

Dies sit on shelves and programs on one plotter

A steel rule die has no impression count, and the knife file lives on a single laptop beside the cutter. A repeat order waits while someone searches both.

Kits are counted by eye

A pump overhaul kit holds a casing gasket, a cover gasket and two O-rings. One missing piece shows up at the customer’s bench.

Spliced loops leave no trace

Door seal profile is cut, scarfed and bonded into frames. Who glued the corner and how the peel test went is not written down. Joint quality stays unproven.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Enquiry and pattern

    A buyer sends a sketch, a drawing or a worn gasket. The estimator records inside diameter, outside diameter, bolt circle, hole count, thickness and compound, and files the rubbing.

  2. 2

    Cutting file or die

    A knife file or steel rule die is made and filed under the part number. A first piece is cut and checked against the drawing with a vernier caliper.

  3. 3

    Sheet issue

    Stores issue sheets by compound, Shore hardness and thickness. The operator nests the parts on the plotter bed, and the sheet area used is written to the order.

  4. 4

    Cutting and finishing

    Parts are cut by clicker press, oscillating knife or water jet. Bolt holes are punched, edges cleaned and pressure sensitive backing applied where the drawing asks.

  5. 5

    Splicing and inspection

    Extruded profile is mitred to length and bonded into loops. Inspectors check bolt hole positions, thickness and the corner bond with a pull test.

  6. 6

    Kit, pack and deliver

    Parts are counted into labelled bags or kits, and a delivery note naming the compound travels with the carton. The invoice follows.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Part numbers, drawings and patterns

Hold sketch, rubbing, DXF and revision under one part number, with compound, Shore hardness and tolerance band.

Quotations by sheet yield

Price a gasket from sheet cost, expected nesting yield, knife time and finishing, then set the figure beside the yield the job actually returned.

Sheet and profile stock

Receive sheets by compound, hardness, thickness and size, and extruded profile by section and coil length, then issue each against jobs.

Offcut register

Return leftover sheet with its dimensions to stock, so the next small order is cut from a remnant before a full sheet leaves the rack.

Nesting and cutting programs

File each knife program and nest, record yield per sheet and show which jobs in the same compound can share one sheet.

Die and tooling register

List steel rule dies and cutter blades by part number, with rack location, impression count and resharpening dates.

Cutting and finishing run sheets

Record parts cut, rejects, bolt holes punched and backing applied for each order and each operator.

Profile cutting and splicing

Log lengths mitred, bonding adhesive, joint peel result and loop size for extruded frames.

Kits and bag labels

Define kits of mixed sizes, tick each piece into the pack and print labels with part, compound and count.

Purchasing of sheet and profile

Raise orders to rubber calendering and extrusion suppliers, receive against them and keep the last rate per compound.

Invoices and buyer accounts

Every dispatch is billed on counted gaskets, payments are matched to that bill, and the buyer owing longest tops the ledger.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Estimate/Quotation Management

    A gasket is priced from sheet cost, expected nesting yield and knife time, and the actual yield is compared once the job closes.

  • Product Management

    One part number holds the sketch, DXF, revision, compound and tolerance, so a repeat order is cut to the same outline.

  • Stock Tracking and Alerts

    Sheets by compound, hardness and thickness are tracked from receipt to issue, and an alert shows when a compound runs low.

  • Work Order Management

    The run sheet names the part, the sheet used and the operator, and records pieces cut, rejects and finishing steps done.

  • Fixed Asset Register

    Each steel rule die and blade is listed with rack location, impressions cut and the date it was last resharpened.

  • Production Planning

    Orders in the same compound are grouped so jobs can share a sheet, and the knife program for each is called up.

  • Job Work Management

    Extruded profile sent out for bonding is tracked as an outside process, with lengths issued, returned and inspected.

  • Barcodes and Labels

    Each bag or kit carries a label with part, compound and count, and a short kit is held at the pack bench.

Services

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For owners

See orders in cutting, sheet cover by compound, yield trends, die life and balances by buyer.

For estimators

Record rubbings and drawings, price from expected yield and compare it with the sheet area actually used.

For cutting operators

Open the knife file or die for the part, record the nest and count good and rejected pieces.

For stores

Receive sheet and profile coils, issue to jobs and return offcuts with their measured size.

For packers and dispatch

Assemble kits, print bag labels and attach a delivery note naming the rubber compound.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Orders by stage with sheet area used
  • Nesting yield by job, compound and operator
  • Offcut stock by compound and size
  • Dies and blades past their impression limit
  • Rejects by part and cause, such as torn web or oversize bore
  • Kit packs completed and short
  • Buyer balances, oldest due first
Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Shops that cut flat gaskets from rubber sheet by die, knife or water jet
  • Makers of moulded rubber rings and full-face gaskets
  • Extrusion shops that splice rubber profile into door and frame seals
  • Gasket suppliers to pump, valve and engine repairers
  • Makers that fill kits of mixed gasket sizes for distributors
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • A workshop that cuts a few gaskets by hand each week may only need a notebook and a shelf.
  • Moulders of bushes and mounts will find Rubber Moulding Company Management Software closer, and O-ring and seal makers may prefer Seal and O-ring Manufacturer Management Software.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Can the nesting yield be seen after each job?

Sheet area issued and parts cut give a yield for the job. The estimator sets it beside the assumption in the quotation and adjusts the next price, so a wasteful pattern shows up quickly.

Does it keep offcuts?

Offcuts return to stock with compound, thickness and size, and the planner sees them first when a small order arrives. A remnant is offered before a new sheet is opened.

Can one part have a rubbing and a drawing?

Yes, a photo or scan of a traced pattern stays with the part number and a later drawing is added as a new revision. Both remain on file.

How are dies tracked?

Each steel rule die or blade is listed by part number with rack location, impression count and sharpening date. When the limit is reached, the tool room receives a task.

Can it manage spliced door seals?

Yes, lengths mitred, the bonding adhesive and the pull test result are logged for each loop, so a failed corner can be traced to the operator and the day.

Can kits be checked before shipping?

The packer ticks each piece against the kit definition, and a short kit is held with a note of the missing gasket or O-ring.

How do our part numbers and sheet stock get in?

Before the first live order, the stores keeper and the die cutter walk the racks against the imported part and sheet lists and mark every mismatch.

What do we get if we leave?

Part, revision and order history can be exported, and the quotation says in which file layout. That format is agreed before work starts.

What affects the cost?

Cost reflects how many people sign in and how many cutting tables and extruders are included. Sample flange gasket orders are shown on screen first, then the quotation gives the figure.
