Automated insert molding cell
Plastic Molding Technology features insert molding as one of our core specializations in molding. Using vertical, rotary table and shuttle presses ergonomically designed for insert molding, PMT is a leader in this field.
Insert Types:
- Terminals/Contacts
- Screw Machine Components
- Cold Headed Components
- Wound Coil – Bobbins
- Overmolded Plastic Components
- Photo-Etched Components
- Magnetic compounds
Manual Insert Loading
Annual Volume:
- Small: 500 – 100K
- Medium: 100K – 1MM
Benefits of Manual Loading
- Lower Start-up Investments
- Faster Start-ups
Automated Insert Loading
Annual Volume:
- High: 1MM- Up
Benefits of Automation
- Cost Reduction Opportunities
- Secondary Operations can be achieved (e.g. in molded terminals bends, circuitry cutouts)
- Reliability of Operation
- Dimensional Stability
- Lower Scrap—approaching zero PPM
- Reduced inventory Part Count
Types of Automation
- Feeder Bowl – (loose component feeding)
- Continuous Strip Feeding
- Robotic Pick and Placement/Retrieval
- Mechanical/Electrical Testing
