INSERT PRESSING MACHINE
Some assembled plastic parts need to be taken apart and reassembled possibly multiple times. In those cases, the best fastening options are metal threaded inserts. The insert is heated with a thermal press to a point where the insert then melts a small portion of the hole periphery as it is being pushed into the part. The softened resin flows into the knurl pattern and then hardens to form a firm bond with the insert. Because the process is easy to control, it costs relatively low and lends itself well to automation (multiple inserts can be pressed in at once), heat staking is the more commonly applied process for thermoplastic materials
Used in Automotive industry for door panels, map pockets, light-pipe staking, consoles, arm rests and switch clusters and also in Medical applications including blood-processing equipment, chemical pumps, fittings, flow meters, IV drug delivery and surgical instruments and Consumer Product applications including personal computers, portable telephones, laser printers, copy machines, video games, speakers and appliance components and in Industrial applications including conveyor systems, gears, pulleys, couplings, and motor housings. Thermal presses are also used in Toy Manufacturing and the Sporting Goods industries. Some other tools this machine is used for are Foot Board - Bolt inserts, Intake manifolds - Nut Inserts, Washer Tanks – Bushes, Radiator Tank – Bushes
