Threaded Insert Installation Technology

Model HP Pneumatic Heat Insert Driver

The SPIROL Model HP Pneumatic Heat Insert Driver provides an accurate and consistent method to install virtually any type of Heat/Ultrasonic Style Insert* into thermoplastic assemblies.

As much as 75% of an Insert’s performance is the direct result of how well it was installed. Therefore, in order to maximize performance, all of the factors that impact installation must be carefully controlled. SPIROL’s Model HP Pneumatic 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.

To operate this machine, the operator loads a plastic molded component into a fixture, and then places the Insert into the hole of the plastic boss. The operator activates the machine by simply touching the dual opto-touch sensors. The heated tip advances until the Insert is melted into the component to the preset depth. The orientation head retracts, and the operator safely unloads the completed assembly.

Dual and Triple HP versions available to install multiple Inserts simultaneously.

*Can be adapted to install Press-In Inserts
