Heat Staking Technology for Specialized Applications
Branson’s heat staking technology allows for the joining of components to a plastic moulding. The staking process joins materials without the need for vibration. This results in no cosmetic damage to class A surfaces. Branson heat staking is an ideal solution for industries that require sensitive plastic parts to be joined, such as Automotive, Electronics and Medical.
How Heat Staking Works
Heat Staking
Heat staking also known as thermoplastic staking is the process of joining two dissimilar materials together. In heat staking we use local heating and cooling to raise the temperature of plastic components and allow plastic reforming to be carried out. This reforming can be used in a wide variety of applications.
Applications range from staking plastic boss’s for assembly of car door panels to joining PCB’s to plastic housings. Benefits of this technique include; no vibration damage, no particulates, the ability to stake metalized coated applications and the capability to stake in difficult to access or restricted areas.
