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 Style 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.
