Explore All Applications

Heat Sealing

Heat sealing is a process used to join two or more materials by applying heat and pressure to their contact surfaces. The materials—usually thermoplastics—are heated to a specific temperature, causing them to soften or melt. When pressure is applied and the materials cool, they form a strong, durable bond.

Heat Sealing

Heat sealing is a process used in thermal plastic assembly where two layers of thermoplastic materials are joined together using heat and pressure. This technique involves heating the materials to a controlled temperature where they become soft or molten, allowing them to bond when pressure is applied.

Heat Staking

Heat staking involves the precise application of heat and pressure to melt and reshape a thermoplastic stud, facilitating the secure attachment of similar or dissimilar materials.

Testimonials

Lance promised that I could get the customized options that I wanted on-time and on-budget. I like to work with companies like TPI that live up to their promises. I am looking forward to working with TPI on future projects. Our company likes to form partnerships with vendors. We have vendors that seem like they are our own employees – it’s hard to tell the difference. Also, TPI has a good design. TPI is not the cheapest but definitely worth the extra money.
LouisDirector of Operations - San Diego Med Device Company
Thermal Press has been a trusted partner for over a decade. Over the years, their equipment has consistently delivered, and I’ve recommended their machines for several commercial applications, many of which are still running successfully today. The latest tooling project – expedited quickly and producing great results – is another great example of why we continue to rely on them.”
Nick BrunoSenior Engineering Designer, Kymanox
I have worked with TPI over the last several years on multiple manufacturing automation projects. They have always been helpful and innovative in addressing our technical, financial, and schedule objectives – taking a concept from inception and moving it through the prototype/proof of principle stages into a functioning automated manufacturing system implementation. Always collaborative and professional, I would highly recommend TPI whether you have a project that needs the extra effort to iron out some early kinks or a fully developed process that needs to be implemented in an organized and efficient way.
RichVP of R&D, San Francisco Bay Area Medical Manufacturer
We have always found TPI to be exceptionally responsive and supportive. Since converting to the TPI machine, our output has impressively increased from 1-2 parts per minute to 5 parts per minute, and we’ve also seen notable improvements in the quality of the parts. While TPI machines may come with a slightly higher price tag, we’ve found them to be well worth the investment. The enhanced efficiency and superior quality more than justify the cost.
Lead EngineerAutomotive Technology Supply Company
We have partnered with Thermal Press International for many years, and they have consistently exceeded our expectations. Their team played a crucial role in designing a customized machine tailored to our specific production needs, significantly reducing our assembly time. TPI has been highly responsive to our design requests for new projects, and their timely delivery of equipment has been instrumental in meeting our production deadlines. TPI has proven to be a valuable and reliable partner for Daktronics.
