WHEN PLASTIC, METAL AND ELECTRONIS ARE MERGING

Function:

The per­fect fit between plas­tic and met­al cre­ates com­po­nents that com­bine the advan­tages of both materials.

Description:

Insert and out­sert tech­nolo­gies are used to man­u­fac­ture hybrid com­po­nents from plas­tic and met­al using injec­tion mold­ing processes.

ADVANTAGES

  • Off-tool pro­duc­tion of high-per­for­mance com­po­nents by com­bin­ing dif­fer­ent mate­r­i­al cat­e­gories with­out fur­ther processing. 
  • Syn­er­gy effects and func­tion­al inte­gra­tion by exploit­ing the advan­tages of the mate­ri­als used, espe­cial­ly in terms of mechan­i­cal prop­er­ties and elec­tri­cal conductivity. 
  • Weight and cost reduction. 
  • High automa­tion lev­el possible. 

INNOVATION

  • In-house pro­duc­tion of met­al and plas­tic parts (com­plete com­po­nent from a sin­gle source). 
  • Devel­op­ment and numer­i­cal sim­u­la­tion of com­po­nents and processes. 
  • FEM aid­ed design. 
  • Inte­grat­ed process approach as Full Ser­vice Supplier. 
  • High com­pe­tence in automa­tion thanks to in-house machin­ery department. 

PRODUCTION

  • Plas­tic injec­tion mold­ing on ver­ti­cal and hor­i­zon­tal machines. 
  • Pro­cess­ing of var­i­ous high-per­for­mance tech­ni­cal plas­tics filled and unfilled, con­duc­tive and insu­lat­ing, as well as GF and LGF rein­forced. Flame resis­tant plastics.
  • Over­mold­ing and back­mold­ing of met­al inserts
  • Pro­duc­tion of stamp­ing and bend­ing parts
  • Sur­face coating. 
  • Sub­se­quent com­ple­men­ta­tion to assemblies.

METAL SUBSTITUTION

Com­po­nents from met­al are replaced by plas­tic parts. 

Function:

Com­po­nents from met­al are replaced by plas­tic parts. 

Description:

Through the use of high-per­for­mance tech­ni­cal plas­tics, com­po­nents with high phys­i­cal prop­er­ties in terms of strength, stiff­ness and tem­per­a­ture resis­tance are produced.

ADVANTAGES

  • Weight and cost reduction. 
  • Improved free­dom of design. 
  • High­er out­put quan­ti­ty of the tools than it is the case with alu­minum or mag­ne­sium – high-pres­sure die-casting. 
  • No cor­ro­sion of components. 
  • Wide / opti­mized prop­er­ty pro­file pos­si­ble due to additives 
  • Func­tion inte­gra­tion through tech­nol­o­gy – assem­bly set. 

INNOVATION

  • Opti­mal com­po­nent design by mas­ter­ing plas­tic and met­al materials.
  • Devel­op­ment and numer­i­cal sim­u­la­tion of com­po­nents and processes. 
  • High com­pe­tence in automation. 

PRODUCTION

  • Plas­tic injec­tion molding. 
  • Pro­cess­ing of var­i­ous high-per­for­mance tech­ni­cal plas­tics filled and unfilled, con­duc­tive and insu­lat­ing, as well as GF and LGF rein­forced. Flame resis­tant plastics. 
  • Sub­se­quent com­ple­men­ta­tion to assemblies.
