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.
