Abstract: Rubber industry is one of the major industries in Malaysia. Rubber stamping machine is a machine that cuts rubber sheets into desired shapes and dimensions, facing challenges due to the elastic properties of rubber sheets. These challenges include long process time and non-identical dimension. This review paper focuses on the design of the rubber-stamping machine to address the challenges by reducing process time and producing identical dimensions products. The rubber-stamping machine was fabricated, and analysis was performed to verify its efficiency. The core of the designs is to ensure the user safety, friendliness, and increase productivity and product consistency. Based on the findings from existing studies, the review highlights significant improvements in machine design and operational efficiency. The paper also discusses the impact of these innovations on the competitiveness of rubber stamping operations and provides insights into future directions for research in mechanical design and automation systems. This review can be a crucial resource for developers and manufacturers looking to enhance the efficiency and product quality of rubber-stamping machines, contributing to the advancement of manufacturing practices in the rubber industry.
