Plastic hot air staking specialist Phasa Developments will be reinforcing its recent expansion into the North American market by participating at Assembly Technology Expo 2001
Plastic hot air staking specialist, Phasa Developments will be reinforcing its recent expansion into the North American market by participating at Assembly Technology Expo 2001, the USA's largest trade show devoted to the assembly process, which takes place in Chicago, Illinois between 2nd-4th October.
The Harlow-based company will be highlighting the manufacturing cost and time saving advantages of the plastic hot air assembly process in collaboration with its recently-appointed US distributor, Royse Manufacturing of Dallas, Texas.
A 10/30 model machine from the company's extensive range of standard and custom-engineered plastic hot air staking equipment will form the centrepiece of Phasa's presentation.
Through a series of live demonstrations, design and manufacturing engineers visiting Phasa's stand will see for themselves how hot air staking provides an ideal method of achieving permanent, low-cost and vibration resistant fastenings in thermo-plastic components and assemblies.
The process employs the principle of controlled localised heating of pre-moulded pegs, ribs or collars - so that they can be re-shaped, clamped and subsequently cooled into a new form.
The assembly method is typically used for the production of simple rivet heads, but is equally suitable for the retention of bearings, securing threaded inserts or pre-loading seals.
Applications are found throughout the widest cross-section of manufacturing industry, from the automotive, IT equipment and domestic appliance sectors to toys and security equipment products.
An easy-to-read, 24-page guide to plastics assembly using hot air staking techniques - explaining the principles, characteristics and benefits of hot air staking compared to other assembly methods - will also be available free on request from the Phasa Developments' stand throughout Assembly Technology Expo.
Alongside sections on tool design and optimising fixing head configuration, the guide provides practical advice and application examples to enable users to maximise the cost-effectiveness of this novel fastening process.
