Heat Staking / Hot Riveting Machine for Automotive Plastic Components

Customized pneumatic and servo heat staking systems for automotive interior and plastic assemblies, with independent temperature control, rapid cooling and flexible tooling.

What Is Heat Staking?

Heat staking uses controlled heat and pressure to soften and reform a plastic stud or boss, creating a mechanical joint that secures another plastic or metal component in place.

Pneumatic Heat Staking Machine

The machine uses single-point temperature control.
Each welding point can be independently adjusted(front, back, right left).
Equipped with wind power system, rapid cooling, improved production efficiency;
The equipment has temperature offset monitoring mode. the welding point temperature control is more accurate.

Servo Heat Staking Machine

Precise Position Control · Stable Staking Depth · Repeatable Process

This machine adopts a servo motor to control welding with high precision and stable welding quality
The machine uses single-point temperature control.
Each welding point can be independently adjusted(front,back, right left);
Equipped with wind power system, rapid cooling, improved production efficiency;
The equipment have temperature offset monitoring mode, the welding point temperature control is more accurate

Independently Adjustable Heat Staking Unit

This hot riveting unit is the new application, this structure can guarantee smooth appearance, stable shape and high welding strength. The advantages of the structure:

texture of riveting point is high quality copper and the wall thickness is thin, this can guarantee enough strength and increase heating and psychic speed.
riveting pole texture is stainless steel that has good thermal barrier effect to make sure the heat concentrate on hot riveting horn.
threaded connection structure makes riveting horn left, right,front, back, up and down adjustment easy.
this structure is compact to save space.

Typical Project Cycle Example

In one reference application, the heat staking welding machine takes approximately 41 seconds or less to complete the welding of the entire product (excluding the time required for manual loading and unloading the parts). Actual cycle time depends on the number of staking points, plastic material, heating temperature, cooling requirement and automation configuration.
