Applications

Piezos

Piezos are widely used in medical devices as alert notifications or alarms due to their reliability, compact size, low power consumption, and ability to produce loud and clear sounds.  Heat staking is an effective method for embedding piezos into medical devices, offering strong mechanical bonds, precision, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.  By using heat staking, manufacturers can ensure that piezo components are securely and precisely integrated into medical devices, enhancing the overall durability and functionality of the product.  This method is particularly advantageous in high-volume production environments where consistency and efficiency are critical.

This video features a C-Series machine performing heat swaging, a form of heat staking, to secure piezoelectric sounders into a wearable medical device. The system is equipped with a rotary table for easy loading and unloading, providing increased production capacity. Additionally, the nesting fixture includes vacuum suction to securely hold the parts in place during the process.
