Model HA Automatic Heat Insert Driver
The SPIROL Model HA Automatic Heat Insert Driver provides an accurate and consistent method to install virtually any type of Heat/Ultrasonic Insert into thermoplastic assemblies. Considering that as much as 75% of the Inserts performance is a direct result of how well it was installed, all of the factors that impact installation must be carefully controlled in order to maximize performance. SPIROL’s Model HA Automatic Heat Insert Driver has been designed to eliminate the dependency on the operator to control the factors of time, temperature and pressure to ensure nearly perfect flow of the plastic for optimal retention and performance.
With this exceptionally versatile machine, the operator does not need to physically touch the Insert during the entire installation process. The Inserts are loaded into a Vibratory Feeder and advance through the feed tube to the guarded heating chamber. The operator loads a plastic molded component into the fixture, and activates the machine by simply touching the dual opto-touch sensors. The Insert is melted into the component to the preset depth, and the orientation head retracts so that the operator can safely unload the completed assembly. Considering that the Insert is already preheated to the proper temperature, the installation time is much faster than other styles of Insert Drivers.
Optional alignment fixtures available.
