Every year your industry grows more competitive. Products are manufactured faster, cheaper, better. Demands are greater, and your customers' requirements are continually changing. What doesn't change is your need for a reliable, competent source for threaded inserts and precision machined products. Threaded inserts (available in brass, stainless steel and low carbon steel) are ideal for plastics, alloys and composite materials. They are designed to provide strong metal threads for machine

... . These inserts are available in various knurled and undercut patterns to suit almost any assembly application. They are designed to provide the high performance strength values of molded-in inserts whilst still retaining all of the economic advantages of insert installation after molding. Inserts can be installed in a variety of ways. These include ultrasonic welding, hot or cold press-in, mold-in and self-threading. Applications include mobile handset, tablet, notebook, consumer electronics and medical / health applications. Due to an increasing cost pressure and new procedural possibilities, hybrid injection molding has become an established and frequently applied procedure these days. The aim of the hybrid technology is to use the property profiles of the involved composite partners in a synergetic way. Hence, multifunctional and highly rigid components with low weight are produced. In this context, sheet-metal structures are reinforced, stabilized geometrically, their energy-absorbing capacity is improved and supplementary functions such as thread inserts snap-in joints and guide elements are added.
