당사의 서멀 프레스는 여러 플레인의 다중 스테이크 포스트(stake post) 또는
인서트(insert)를 동시에 처리할 수 있습니다. 또한 이 장비는 코딩, 엠보싱 또는 디게이팅에 사용할 수 있습니다.
모듈식 설계로 작업 요구 사항이 변할 때마다 신속하게 시스템을 구성하고 변경할 수 있습니다.
슬라이드 키트 또는 가열 영역(heat–zone) 컨트롤러 모듈이 추가되면서 당사의 고유한 디지털 터치스크린 컨트롤러가
자동으로 이를 인식하고 활성합니다. 서멀 프레스에 다음과 같은 수많은 혁신적 기능을 추가하였습니다:
• 확장 및 유지보수가 편리한 간단한 볼트온 마스터/슬레이브 모듈
• 메인 터치스크린 및 디지털 히터 컨트롤러의 직관적 설정 및 작동
• 모든 제어 및 눈금의 전면 장착으로 액세스가 용이함
• 설정 모드로 작업 전환이 간단함
• 표준 유압식 속도 조절
• 회전반(rotary table) 또는 전송 라인을 쉽게 통합할 수 있음
• 포스트 쿨(post cool), 슬라이드 키트 및 퀵 체인지 툴링 기능 사용
당사의 MATP(Multi–Adjustable Thermal Probe)로 서멀 프레스에
혁신을 가져왔습니다. 고유한 설계로 인해 측면 또는 방사상의 신속한 조정이 가능합니다.
Thermal Presses heat the staking post/insert while applying
pressure axially to permanently set the parts. Advantages of
the thermal heat staking / inserting process include:
Reliable permanent inserts
No particulates or noise
Multiple level inserting/heat staking
Multiple size inserts
No whitening when degating
Better cosmetic appearance when heat staking and swaging
High tolerance to mold release, colorants and other additives
Tolerant of resin grade variations and regrind percentages
Low initial equipment cost
Ease of operation and assembly
Handles slippery thermoplastics
Easier maintenance in a low-tech environment
Heat Staking Press Features
120V AC model (up to 6 x 350 watt heaters) and
240V AC model (up to 12 x 350 watt heaters)

Ultra rigid steel H-frame chassis eliminates flexing to reduce
functional and cosmetic defects
Pneumatic thruster with 4-inch (100mm) stroke
Hydraulic speed control standard
Modular configuration means no more knockouts and hand wiring of
relays and controllers
Prewired and preprogrammed for optional slide kits, post cool, and
fixture clamping.
Thermal press applications include heat staking, inserting, embossing,
date coding and degating.
Automotive industry for door panels, map pockets, light-pipe
staking, consoles, arm rests and switch clusters. Medical
applications include blood-processing equipment, chemical pumps, fittings,
flow meters, IV drug delivery and surgical instruments.
Consumer Product applications include personal computers, portable
telephones, laser printers, copy machines, video games, speakers and
appliance components. Industrial
applications include conveyor systems, gears, pulleys, couplings, and
motor housings. Thermal presses are also used in Toy
Manufacturing and the Sporting Goods industry.
Dukane heat staking thermal presses can work with a variety of
materials including most amorphous and semi-crystalline thermoplastics
as well as liquid crystal polymers. Some difficult to weld
plastics are well suited to the thermal process including lubricious
materials such as PTFE. Soft thermoplastics such as PE and PP
react favorably to thermal inserting along with brittle materials such
as 50% mineral-filled PPO (Ryton) which flakes when subjected to
ultrasonics. Call Dukane for a complete list of materials suitable
for thermal inserting/heat staking.
Heat staking work cell
is ideal for larger plastic applications that require
multiple posts staked. It is designed for applications
such as, exterior and interior automotive trim,
appliance panels' and large consumer electronic devices.
What is unique about this machine is that the
independent actuators attach to a solid horizontal
bridge, versus other machine designs that incorporate
large platen actuation. The independent actuators allow
for the flexibility to retool this machine for future
applications. Each actuator can be adjusted in the x y
and z access, as well as, with angular adjustment to
deal with applications that have a contoured shape. When
heat staking, the best post strength is achieved when
the speed at which the staking tool compresses the post
matches the melt velocity of the plastic material.
Hydraulic speed control on each actuator provides this
advanced level of melt speed control. The thermal
controls are Dukane's standard design that are modular
and can be easily upgraded by the user to add more
staking points. Additional PLC expansion is available to
add more part clamping, sensing, position sensors and
other features in the future.
User friendly operation is achieved through a color
touch screen HMI and one touch cycle initiation. Heater
burnout fault signals are optional. Safety guarding is
on three sides with a light curtain across the operator
load area, along with a bright work light.
Urethane-poured part nests eliminate marking on the
class A surface of the parts. The lower fixture nest is
mounted on a two-position linear ball bearing slide.
Servo pneumatic programmable stop positions are
optional. The slide mechanism gives the operator the
ability to load the part clear of the heated thermal
tips, safe and comfortable. Locking casters and or
leveling feet are available.
