Metal Inserts
​
The installation of inserts after injection moulding, eliminates the risk of 'moulding in'
i.e.
​
-
Damage to injection mould tools
-
Longer moulding cycles
-
High scrap rates
These problems can be eradicated by using standard ranges of metal threaded inserts or male inserts.
There are three types of insertion methods:
​
-
Cold insertion
-
Hot insertion
-
Ultrasonic insertion
We will advise on use of which insert and process suits your product
​
​
Ultrasonic Welding
​
Ultrasonic welding has proved an excellent alternative to using adhesives, heat staking or use of fasteners.
​
We can advise on special design of components to facilitate use of the ultrasonic welding technique.
​
Metal inserts can also be ultrasonically inserted into the plastic component.
​
We can provide special tooling required for ultrasonic welding, however, on some applications, standard Tooling may also be used.
