S.P. Engineers' heat staking technology allows for the joining of components to plastic molding. The staking process joins materials without the need for vibration. This results in no cosmetic damage to class A surfaces. S.P. Engineers' heat staking is an ideal solution for industries that require sensitive plastic parts to be joined, such as Automotive, Electronics, and Medical.

    FEATURES HEAT STAKING MACHINE

  • Although each machine is custom-built for its specific application, the following information details typical machine features.

    ADVANTAGES OF HEAT STAKING MACHINE

    Thermal Presses heat the staking post/insert while applying pressure axially to permanently set the parts. Advantages of the thermal heat staking/inserting process include

  • Reliable permanent inserts.
  • No particulates or noise.
  • Multiple level inserting/heat staking.
  • Multiple size inserts.
  • Handles slippery thermoplastics.
  • Easier maintenance in a low-tech environment.
  • Cost-effective.
  • Short Cycle Times.
  • Tight Assemblies.
  • Excellent repeatability and process control Elimination of mechanical fasteners and adhesives.
