This video showcases a C-Series Thermal Press equipped with a power shuttle table, facilitating easy loading and unloading of parts. After the threaded inserts are loaded, safety protocols require both hands to engage the Opto buttons to initiate the heat staking process. Custom-designed heat stake probes and a corresponding fixture ensure precise and consistent results on every run.
Choosing Between Pneumatic and Servo Actuators for Thermal Assembly
A Practical Guide from Thermal Press International In precision thermal assembly – whether joining, sealing, or staking thermoplastics – actuator choice influences consistency, performance, and validation capabilities. Pneumatic and servo actuation each offer distinct advantages, depending on material characteristics, regulatory expectations, and production goals. Pneumatic actuators remain the industry standard
