Discover the ultimate solution for low volume production and prototyping in our latest video on the Sonitek TS-100 Series. This state-of-the-art machine is a game-changer in efficiently installing threaded inserts into plastic parts.
About the Sonitek TS-100 Series:
The TS-100 stands out with its versatility, allowing for various applications. It comes equipped with a Tapped 1/4 -28 probe for easy tip interchange, and an optional heated platen for mounting multiple thermal tips. Constructed on a robust cast aluminum base, it features a 1 ¼” diameter solid stainless-steel column, adjustable for a 3-inch stroke distance and ensuring precise control of the Z-axis depth.
Heat Staking Process Explained:
Learn about the innovative heat staking process, where heat deforms a plastic component for fastening or joining another part. We delve into how the TS-100's integrated hydraulic speed control optimizes this process, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
Advanced Temperature Control:
The machine includes one or two temperature controllers, adjustable from 80 – 600°F, facilitating a wide range of applications. Plus, its lever-actuated mechanism with a spring-loaded return makes operation a breeze.
Power and Certification:
Operating on 120v or 240v, the TS-100 is CE certified, ensuring top-notch safety and performance standards.
Customization and Tooling:
Custom thermal tip kits are available for both staking and insertion. The machine's quick heater disconnects and modular design make changing tooling fast and straightforward. All tooling is cross-compatible with other Sonitek machines.
Post-Cooling Feature:
We highlight the importance of post-cooling, particularly for high-melting-temperature thermoplastics or spring retention applications.
Proudly Made in the USA:
