INSERT INSTALLATION TECHNOLOGY Automatic Heat Insert Driver The SPIROL Model HA Automatic Heat Insert Driver provides an accurate and consistent method to install virtually any type of Heat/Ultrasonic Style Insert into thermoplastic assemblies. Considering that as much as 75% of the Inserts performance is a direct result of how well it was installed, all of the factors that impact installation must be carefully controlled in order to maximise performance. SPIROL’s Model HA Automatic Heat Insert Driver has been designed to eliminate the dependency on the operator to control the factors of time, temperature and pressure to ensure nearly perfect flow of the plastic for optimal retention and performance. With this exceptionally versatile machine, the operator does not need to physically touch the Insert during the entire installation process. The Inserts are loaded into a vibratory feeder and advance through the feed tube to the guarded heating chamber. The operator loads a plastic molded component into the fixture, and activates the machine by simply touching the dual opto-touch sensors. The Insert is melted into the component to the preset depth, and the orientation head retracts so that the operator can safely unload the completed assembly. Considering that the Insert is already preheated to the proper temperature, the installation time is much faster than other styles of Insert Drivers. Design Features/Benefits: Reliable: - Easily adjustable temperature setting with Hi-Low temperature lock-out for optimal melt and flow of plastic Safe: - Guarded pinch points and ergonomically-friendly optical sensor actuation with anti-repeat, anti-tie down feature Quiet: - Silent operation eliminates the harsh noise associated with ultrasonic installation methods Accurate: - Micrometer style insertion depth adjustment for precise Insert positioning in the part - Pneumatic operation, with pressure regulator and flow controls to precisely control the insertion force and speed Versatile: - Installs Inserts ranging in sizes from M2 to M8 metric threads and No. 2 to 3/8” unified threads - Can be easily configured to accommodate a variety of applications Efficient: - Automatic Insert feeding and installation for maximum efficiency Optional alignment fixtures available. Options such as rotary and linear part indexing, and part and Insert sensing can be added for enhanced productivity and heightened quality
