Our Products #4832953

Thermal press machines from Plastic Assembly Systems use precise control of heat and pressure to bond and assemble small plastic parts without adhesives or screws. Designed for low-volume production runs and lab testing, the hand-operated PAS Model ARB Arbor Press uses direct contact heated tools in applications such as film and fabric sealing, date coding, embossing, threaded insert installation, and heat staking of thermoplastic posts.

Tooling is bolted to the upper portion of the press and heat is provided through a probe assembly or heated tip block. Precision machined tips designed for specific functions are mounted to the probe.

Our lever-actuated press with spring return features a fine pitch mechanical depth stop. The unit measures 28 in. in height and the Blanchard ground work base measures 12 in. x 10.00 in. The tubular column includes a gross height adjustment.

The PAS Arbor press weighs 50 pounds and operates on 120V240VAC. It is designed with a 3.00 inch stroke and a 4.75 inch throat. The microprocessor-based control can maintain any temperature within the operating range of 80F to 999F.

Options available include part holding fixtures, a part cycle counter, and post cooling. An extended tubular column, multiple zones, and multiple outputs can also be specified.

The PAS Heatstaking Hand probe is a hand-operated tool designed for low volume production runs and lab testing. Uses include the installation of threaded inserts, heatstaking of thermoplastic posts, embossing, date coding, swaging, and film and fabric sealing.

The PAS high tonnage, precision, true closed-loop heatstaking machines is designed for production runs of medium to large sized parts. Heatstaking and insertion makes use of direct contact heated tools and precisely controlled time, temperature, pressure and cooling, to reform plastic studs, walls, and protrusions, or to embed metal components into plastic. This offers the ability to perform multiple operations on several planes simultaneously. Cycle times are relatively fast, and productivity can be increased through the assembly of multiple products. Cosmetics are so exceptional that heatstaking appears to be an extension of the molding process.

The PAS Model .25 Actuator system is a low cost precision heatstaking machine designed for production runs of small to medium sized parts.

Thermal linear actuators from Plastic Assembly Systems are designed with integrators in mind. Our actuators offer flexibility, with multiple mounting configurations and access points on any axis or plane to make integration into automated systems a snap.

State-of-the-art 3D CAD files for all PAS actuators are available in a variety of file types to allow designers the ability to simply drop the actuator into their current machine design.

Our linear actuators are available with multiple forces and strokes to fit your specific automation needs. They can provide full load forces from 14 ton to 2 tons. Standard bore sizes include 2.5 in., 4 in., 6 in., and 8 in, with stroke lengths in -in. increments up to 20 in. Custom sized bores and strokes also available.

PAS linear actuators are compatible with all our current thermal assembly system components. They can support modular thermal power supplies for up to 12 zones, with heat provided by probe or platen assembly or with a heated tip block.

In conjunction with our linear actuators, PAS offers a wide range of tooling and probe tips to fit every application. We also offer probe assemblies which mount on the actuator along with the appropriate tip for staking, swaging, insertion, sealing, date-coding, or hot knife de-gating. Our probe assemblies come with standard tooling bolt patterns that work with any model PAS machine.

The thermal linear actuator includes a hydraulic dampener for damping cyclical or one-off pressure fluctuations. Options include a system controller with large operator interface, NPN or PNP solid state switches, linear distance sensor from 0 to 10 V, and flow controls.

PAS utilizes the latest technologies and finest materials to produce the highest quality products available. Our personal attention to detail on the plastic assembly equipment we provide and the individual needs of our customers is what sets us apart.

PAS offers the highest level of machine control in the industry to date. PAS couples new servo control technology with years of experience to bring to market the most advanced line of thermal assembly equipment. Servo control in the Z-axis allows for precise and fast control of your thermal applications. Our complete line offers end users the ability to run small, medium and large parts and applications that require high precision and repeatability. The STS 2000 and the high tonnage servo press can be used as stand alone piece of equipment or coupled with other automation technologies to meet your part volumes. Thermal Assembly makes use of direct contact heated tools and precisely controlled time, temperature, pressure, and cooling to reform plastic studs, walls, or protrusions or to embed metal components into plastic. Multiple operations can be performed on several planes simultaneously. Cycle times are relatively fast, allowing for the assembly of multiple products. Cosmetics are exceptional. Heatstaking appears to be an extension of the molding process.
