ERIKS Gasket Configurator - All Sizes, Materials and Compliance Needs

Whether it’s a different size, different grade of material, or needs to be compliant to a different standard, a variation from the norm can delay an order by many days.

It’s for situations – and gaskets – like this that the new ERIKS Gasket Configurator has been developed.

Is that a “Z” or a “2”?

Just eight materials options combined with the standard pipe generates 46,000 possible gasket variations – so imagine just how many there could be!

Uploading a new part to an ERP system requires approximately 300 different fields to be completed, so parts are typically loaded upon demand aiding delay. But entering a new cut gasket is only the end of the process. Before then, it will have to be drawn to exact scale and checked against the customer’s specification.

This process takes a considerable amount of time, and just one mistyped letter or number can cause havoc and the finished product will not only be wrong, by highly dangerous. So there’s no room to cut corners, but there’s still a huge demand to cut timescales and costs.

In short, here’s how the ERIKS Gasket Configurator does both:

• Connects directly with the configurator software to set up the ERP
• Creates a system generated customer quote
• Designs the part in CAD
• Calculates the Bill of Materials
• Calculates the required time for knife cutting
