Heat staking system for use with a hand held thermode.

A temporarily heated system, where active cooling of the product takes place after the heating phase.

This system is intended for applications which allow manual feed of the heat staking die.

The operator feeds the heat staking die, which is fixed to a handle, to the product to be heat-sealed and he then starts the heat staking process by means of a separate starter switch or a foot switch.

The heating phase, programmed into the control system, is started and the product is formed under the manual forcing action of the operator.

Typically, the heating phase runs to 2-3 seconds.

After the heating phase, the die and the formed product are actively cooled at the programmed temperature. The die can finally be removed from the product.

The total heating process can be programmed as required in the control system and is monitored in correspondingly adjustable limits.

Warning – and malfunction messages relating to over- and under-temperatures are reported to the operating control panel.

Furthermore, the heating process is also monitored by an additional temperature sensor fitted to the die.

Interchange or replacement dies can be replaced very quickly via a plug connection and can be calibrated into the system in less than a minute by means of the automatic calibration function.

The forming die is tailor-made or adapted by us. And there are no limits to the shape.

Our innovative coating technologies ensure the maximum possible operating life of the heat staking die even with extremely compact plastics and provide maximum resistance to the abrasive wear and erosion to which the forming surfaces in contact with the product are exposed. Coatings with a micro hardness (HV 0.05) up to 3,300 are used.

Please be aware that not all applications are suitable for manually applied force during the staking process. Please contact us and we will gladly advise you in the selection of the most suitable system.

Standard stand-alone heat staking system with a simple base plate to mount a workpiece holder.

The product to be processed is located by the operator directly in the workpiece holder fitted under the heat staking head and the staking process is started by a pushbutton.

The operating area of the heat staking head is monitored by a light curtain at the housing opening.

If there is any intrusion into the operating area or the light curtain is broken during the staking process, the system switches into the “emergency off” condition.

All components withing the housing are then isolated from compressed air and from electric voltage. The heat staking unit can be fitted with various single and multiple heat staking heads.

Temporarily heated system, where active cooling of the product takes place after the heating phase.

A Stand-alone system which can be operated from a standing or sitting operating position.

The HVS 40i is quoted by us as a “modular” system. Consequently, we can meet customer functional specifications from simple systems, which are purely thermally monitored, to completely process-monitored expansion sections with component raised- and lowered-distance measurement, permanent force measurement and data communication.

The relevant heat staking tools are matched to the product and the control circuit of the system is designed for the connection of single dies to the use of complex, multiple heat staking heads (e.g. for use in staking of 10 or more simultaneous processes. The shaping dies are manufactured in-house to meet customer specifications. The heat staking heads can be very rapidly changed over.

Coatings with a micro hardness (HV 0.05) up to 3,300 are used.

System control allows freely programmable heating and cooling phases, comprehensive monitoring functions (warning- and malfunction messages for all possible parameters), workpiece or maintenance counters, storage of manufacturing parameters for 10 or more products, possibility of displaying all identified process parameters etc. All changes to process-relevant parameters are password protected. Serious fault reports, (such as the breaching of malfunction values or repeated alarms) can only be overridden by means of an additional key switch.

In combination with the safety casing, the system satisfies all working safety requirements. The safety door of the housing, which is monitored by a safety switch, can be can be unlocked and opened by a key switch.
Consequently, the system functioning can be controlled during set-up and maintenance operations or heat seal head replacement can be carried out.

Typical application sprue removal. As a cost-effective alternative to laser cutting for can be used for the clean removal of sprue removal, temporarily heated knife-type tools can be used for the clean removal of casting sprue.

Cutting edges are clean without chips and without any “drawing of plastic fibres” and there are no residual particles on the product to be removed.

Standard heat staking system has a manually operated sliding table (300x300mm working plate).

There is automatic halting of the table when it reaches the working position and the table is releasedafter a fault-free process or after authorized acknowledgement of malfunction.

It can be fitted with workpiece holders.

Standard heat sealing system of a larger design and construction to allow integration of additional functions and the use of a turntable up to 500mm diameter for larger components, which cannot be fitted on a smaller turntable.. While the external workpiece holders are being unloaded and re-loaded with new workpieces, , the product within the machine is heat sealed.

In this example, two plastic pins are formed with two separately suspended heat sealing dies. This arrangement is necessary when the maximum size needs to be monitored. In contrast, with a situation involving a multiple heat sealing head, the heat sealing dies can be individually suspended so that the temperature at each sealing position can be controlled and monitored, the component detection and sink depth per pin established and the process force dedicated to each individual heat sealing die can be applied.
