Description Of
Heat Stacking Machine
Reliable Plastic Joining with Controlled Thermal Forming
Our Heat Staking Machine is designed for strong and permanent joining of thermoplastic components using controlled heat and pressure.
It forms plastic studs into secure heads, eliminating the need for screws, adhesives, or external fasteners.
The system ensures high consistency, reduced cycle time, and efficient mass production, making it ideal for automotive, electronics, and consumer goods industries.
How It Works
Loading → Heating → Staking → Cooling → Unloading
- Loading: Parts placed in precision fixture
- Heating: Controlled temperature softens plastic studs
- Staking: Pressure forms rivet-like head
- Cooling: Joint solidifies and locks
- Unloading: Finished assembly removed
