Heatstaking machines are beneficial when joining two parts that consist of different material which cannot normally be ultrasonically welded.
FeaturesAlthough each machine is custom built for its specific application, the following information details typical machine features.Rugged, tubular steel frame construction using the highest quality componentsSafety guardingHMI /MMI process controls provide easy set up and repeatability of control.Quick disconnect heater Palm buttons and emergency stopControlled air flowHeater Burnout Alarms (optional)Closed loop systems for process monitoring (optional)Light Screens for protection (optional)Touch Screens (optional)Digital timer for weld time and post-coolAuto & Manual Setup mode head down for probe alignment with componentPrerogrammed for optional slide kits, post cool, and fixture clamping.LVDT for slide conformation (optional)BenefitsCost effectiveShort Cycle TimesTight AssembliesExnt repeatability and process controlElimination of mechanical fasteners and adhesivesApplicationsThermal press applications include heat staking, inserting, embossing, date coding and degating.Automotive industry for door panels, map pockets, light-pipe staking, consoles, arm rests and switch clusters. Medical applications include blood-processing equipment, chemical pumps, fittings, flow meters, IV drug delivery and surgical instruments.Consumer Product applications include personal computers, portable tele, laser printers, copy machines, video games, speakers and appliance components.Industrial applications include conveyor systems, gears, pulleys, couplings, and motor housings. Thermal presses are also used in Toy Manufacturing and the Sporting Goods industryWorks well with Large diameter studsProduces a large strong headDoes not have to melt a large amount of material (less time, less force)Avoids sink marks on the opposite side of molded componentEnables parts to be re-assembled with self-tapping screws should repair or dis-assembly be necessary
