Machining

To preclude premature wear and seal failure, the metal surfaces that contact O-rings during installation and system operation must be properly prepared. Preparation consists of appropriate selection of materials, as well as machining for optimum surface finish. With advanced processes, sophisticated CAD systems and dedicated CNC machines, Apple Rubber creates high-quality, custom-engineered prototypes.
