Inductive insertion is a process by which threaded metal inserts are rapidly heated through the use of induction and then inserted into plastic parts for a strong and lasting bond. The process can be tailored to a range of parts and can be used with three, four, and six-axis robots for parts with multiple insert locations. Parts with three or fewer inserts on the same plane may benefit from servo or pneumatic actuation.
During the process, inserts are loaded by the operator or automated feeder bowl, moved into the induction coil, heated, and then driven into the plastic part – often with no flash visible.
Inductive Insertion Press
ToolTex’s Inductive Insertion Press is a solution that stands apart from the dated ultrasonic or heated probe insertion methodologies dating back to the 1950s. This system addresses conventional methods' specific challenges and paves the way for faster, more efficient, and damage-free insertions - especially crucial for industries demanding the utmost accuracy.
