Nissan saves costs with plastic hot air staking
By working closely with Phasa Developments of Bishop Stortford, Le Profil was able to demonstrate that a switch to plastic hot air staking assembly would save costs for Nissan
It explains the principles and characteristics of plastic hot air staking in detail, as well as the system's ability to achieve permanent, low-cost, vibration-resistant fixings in thermoplastic components or assemblies.
The A5 booklet covers everything from simple riveted joints to design parameters for processing ribs or even large diameter annular rings.
Recommendations reflecting the latest advances in the fastening process are also backed by more than 40 colour illustrations - ensuring that the publication becomes an invaluable source of reference within the manufacturing sector.
"We are continually extending the technology's boundaries", says Phasa's Business Manager, Tony Woods.
"So, this all-new design guide will not only help to update existing users, but also bring plastic hot air staking to the attention of engineers who may not currently be aware of all its advantages".
