Automotive Plastic Electronic Module

SPIROL Engineering recommended the use of a SPIROL Series 29 symmetrical brass Insert in place of the competitor’s Insert, and a standard Model HPD Dual Pneumatic Heat Insert Driver to install two Inserts at the same time into the plastic housing. The operator simply loads the plastic module into a fixture, and places two Inserts into the top of the molded holes. Upon activation, the Dual Heat Inserter advances, two heated tips engage with the two Inserts and heat is transferred until the Inserts reach the melt temperature of the plastic. The machine smoothly and consistently pushes the Inserts into place, and then retracts and resets. The operator slides the fixture forward, and repeats the process to install the final two Inserts. The completed assembly is removed and the next one loaded.

By installing better performing Inserts two at a time, assembly time has dramatically improved, and scrap has been virtually eliminated.
