This video showcases a specially customized H-Series machine, equipped with four distinct thermal heads for optimized versatility. It also features a power shuttle table for enhanced efficiency. To ensure operator safety, the This video features a specially customized H-Series Thermal Press configurated for 4-axis heat staking of an automotive taillight assembly. Applications like this often involve multiple staking points that must be formed with precision and consistency to ensure proper component retention and overall assembly integrity.
The system is equipped with four independently designed thermal heads, allowing multiple stake locations to be processed simultaneously within a single cycle. This multi-head configuration significantly improves throughput while maintaining uniformity across all staking points, reducing variability that can occur when features are formed sequentially.
A power shuttle table is integrated into the system to streamline loading and unloading, enabling efficient part handling and consistent positioning beneath the thermal heads. Custom-engineered tooling ensures accurate alignment and support of the taillight assembly throughout the process, which is critical for achieving repeatable results across complex geometries.
During operation, controlled heat and pressure are applied at each staking location, forming strong, uniform stakes that securely retain components without damaging surrounding materials. The system is designed to deliver precise temperature control and repeatable force application, supporting high-quality results in demanding automotive manufacturing environments.
This example highlights how Thermal Press International systems can be customized to meet the demands of multi-point thermal assembly applications, delivering improved cycle times, consistent results, and reliable long-term performance.
