Branson Thermal Processing System Model 401 - 5555 Thermal Processor Model 401General DescriptionBranson Thermal Processing Systems aredesigned for heat staking, thermal insertion, swaging, degating, and date stamping. Thermal StakingIn thermal staking, also referred to as"heading or riveting," the controlled flow of the molten plastic is used to capture or retain another component, joining plastic to plastic, metal, or any other type of material (e.g., printed circuit boards). Benefits of Thermal Staking / Swaging • Excellent cosmetics•Does not cause damage to fragile electronic or other sensitive components •Minimal tool wear •No flash or particulate are created •Extremely tight stakes created •Most thermoplastic materials easilystaked/swaged •Stake one or multiple stakes on multipleplanes simultaneously•No cracking, splitting, breaking, or stressesapplied to bosses Benefits of Thermal Insertion AppliedTechnologiesGroup•Multiple inserts at different levels can beaccomplished simultaneously. Practically no limit on quantity, size, or plane of the inserts.•Different sized inserts can be driven simultaneously. •No material limitations. Inserting intofilled material can be accomplished with less damage to the inserts.•Process does not produce metal flakes orchips•Minimal tool wear •Quiet operation. Thermal Insertion41 Eagle RoadDanbury, CT 06813-1961(203) 796-0349 Fax(203) 796-9838Email: info@bran-sonultrasonics.com In thermal insertion a metal insert isplaced in a cored or drilled hole which is slightly smaller than the insert. This hole provides a certain degree of interference and also serves to guide the insert into place. The heat from the thermal tip travels through the insert to the interface of the metal and plastic. Heat generated by the thermal tip causes the plastic to melt, and as the thermal tip advances, the insert is imbedded into the plastic component. The molten plastic flowsinto the serrations, flutes, or undercuts of the insert, and when the heat source retracts, the plastic resolidifies and the insert is securely encapsulated in place. |
