Description
Yixing Plastics has many years of experience as a custom plastic insert molder and over mold.
Plastic injection insert molding is a plastic injection molding process in which thermoplastic material is molded around an insert piece or pieces placed in the plastic injection molding cavity. Inserts are mainly metal parts, and can also be another plastic, ceramic, or something that can withstand the plastic injection temperature.
Yixing Plastics is a custom insert molder with expertise in custom insert molding and custom insert molded plastics
APPLICATIONS
Some of the first insert molding applications were for placing threaded inserts into molded parts. Current custom insert molding applications are widely used, such as :
· Medical devices and instruments, such as needle hubs and tube valves
· Knobs for appliances, controls, and assemblies
· Encapsulated electronic devices and electrical components
· Threaded fasteners
· Encapsulated bushings, tubes, studs
BENEFITS
Plastic injection insert molding is an effective alternative to assembly parts which are using soldering, adhesives, or fasteners:
· Reduced assembly and labor costs (Molded as one assembly)
· Improved component reliability (Insert is always more strong and durable than the plastic parts, molding inserts ensure proper alignment, prevent loosening and vibration, and shock)
· Reduced size and weight (Insert molding made the parts joined with strong, light-weight plastic resin, and fasteners or connectors are eliminated)
· Enhanced design flexibility (Custom plastic insert molding allows for almost unlimited configurations and material combinations)
Another application of the plastic injection insert molding technology is in-mold decorating (IMD) and in-mold labeling (IML), in which decorated or printed film is inserted into the mold cavity and the plastic resin injected against the film, resulting in a labeled or decorated part that is durable and cost-effective.
Yixing Plastics often employs robotic automation in the insert molding process for fast and precise placement of inserts.
