Threaded Insert Installation Technology

Model PH Platen-Style Multi-Tip Heat Insert Driver

The SPIROL Model PH Heat Insert Driver provides an accurate and consistent method to simultaneously install multiple Threaded Inserts or Compression Limiters at multiple elevations. Featuring a 228 mm x 279 mm (9" x 11") working area, the machine dramatically increases productivity by enabling simultaneous installation while reducing the number of manufacturing steps required to complete an assembly. Additionally, the platen head and fixture can be easily changed to accommodate quick change-over to different assemblies associated with new production runs.

This machine can be used to install 12 Inserts into one assembly, or a fewer number of Inserts into a larger number of assemblies, as long as the total combination does not exceed 12 Inserts. For example, it can simultaneously install 4 Inserts into 3 different assemblies, or 5 Inserts into one assembly and 7 Inserts into another assembly – any combination up to 12 Inserts.

Designed to simultaneously install Heat/Ultrasonic Inserts* at multiple elevations.

*Can be adapted to install Press-In Inserts
