Pneumatic Heat Insert Driver
The SPIROL Model HP Pneumatic Heat Insert Driver provides an accurate
and consistent method to install virtually any type of Heat/Ultrasonic Style Insert
into thermoplastic assemblies.
As much as 75% of an Insert’s performance is the direct result of how well it
was installed. Therefore, in order to maximize performance, all of the factors
that impact installation must be carefully controlled. SPIROL’s Model
HP Pneumatic Heat Insert Driver has been designed to eliminate
the dependency on the operator to control the factors of time,
temperature and pressure to ensure nearly perfect flow of the
plastic for optimal retention and performance.
Guard is standard

optional fixture
To operate this machine, the operator loads a plastic molded
component into a fixture, and then places the Insert into the
hole of the plastic boss. The operator activates the machine
by simply touching the dual opto-touch sensors. The heated tip
advances until the Insert is melted into the component to the preset
depth. The orientation head retracts, and the operator safely unloads the
completed assembly.
