    Plastic Assembly Systems from Thermal Press

    Using heat staking thermal presses for plastic assembly systems provides a flexible and efficient platform of tools. A good example of this was when Thermal Press assisted a medical device manufacturer to implement a complete hot staking solution for their plastic implants.

    The basic process wasn’t particularly complex – it involved contact
    deformation of base parts using thermal manipulation. However, the devices used
    to create these types of assemblies need precise control features and exact
    thermal delivery systems.

    High-Quality Thermal Assembly Machines for Perfect Manufacturing

    Globally, enterprises use plastic material in their products to achieve the desired weight, increased durability, and more importantly, reduced manufacturing cost. However, many of them still use traditional thermal assembly machines, which are time-consuming, costly, and inefficient. Worse, they need a quality checker on the assembly line to inspect the goods manually. California-based Thermal Press International not only designs and builds thermal assembly machines but also helps its clients conceptualize, design, and develop products. The company’s high- end machines with customized tooling packages cater to the needs of manufacturers who are looking for a just-in-time quality control..

    How Does Heat Staking Work?

    Heat staking is a method of joining two components of the same or varied materials without the use of adhesives or fasteners. It’s a relatively straightforward process using heat and force, and an integral part of many production lines.

    Here’s what you need to know about heat staking.
