Insert Injection Molding

Insert Injection Molding

In the world of industrial hardware and robotics, strength and versatility are paramount, which is why our insert injection molding services are in such high demand. This process involves placing a pre-formed component—typically a threaded brass insert, a stainless steel pin, or even a pre-stamped metal frame—into the mold before the plastic is injected. The plastic then solidifies around the insert, creating a single, incredibly strong part that combines the structural properties of metal with the design flexibility of plastic. At our Hangzhou factory, we have perfected the art of "insert injection molding" for robotic dog frames and high-torque motor housings, ensuring that the metal inserts are perfectly centered and will never pull out under stress.

Product Introduction

In the world of industrial hardware and robotics, strength and versatility are paramount, which is why our insert injection molding services are in such high demand. This process involves placing a pre-formed component-typically a threaded brass insert, a stainless steel pin, or even a pre-stamped metal frame-into the mold before the plastic is injected. The plastic then solidifies around the insert, creating a single, incredibly strong part that combines the structural properties of metal with the design flexibility of plastic. At our Hangzhou factory, we have perfected the art of "insert injection molding" for robotic dog frames and high-torque motor housings, ensuring that the metal inserts are perfectly centered and will never pull out under stress.

 

Quality control is the most critical aspect of "insert injection molding". A misplaced insert can destroy a mold or result in a part that fails in the field. To prevent this, we utilize precision-engineered jigs and, for high-volume runs, automated robotic loading systems. Our technical team performs pull-out and torque tests on every batch to verify the bond strength. This dedication to "insert injection molding" has made us a trusted supplier for automotive manufacturers who require durable fuel pump housings and pipe fittings. We don't just provide parts; we provide peace of mind. Our ISO 9001:2015 certified processes ensure that every threaded insert is clean, upright, and ready for your assembly line, saving you the headache of secondary tapping or drilling operations.

Application Areas

This process is essential for any part requiring mechanical fasteners, such as computer desk swivel components, robot vacuum base plates, and industrial electrical enclosures. We also use it extensively for "overmolding" plastic handles onto metal tool shafts and creating robust connector housings for power stations.

 

Customization Capability

We can source the metal inserts for you or work with inserts provided by the client. Our engineering team can suggest specific "knurling" patterns on the metal inserts to significantly improve the mechanical bond with the plastic. We support a vast array of high-performance resins capable of withstanding the heat and pressure of the insert molding process.

 

Packaging & Logistics

Because insert-molded parts often contain heavy metal components, we use reinforced packaging to prevent the parts from shifting and damaging each other during transit. We offer comprehensive shipping solutions including FOB and DDP, leveraging our 11 years of export experience to ensure smooth delivery to over 20 countries.

 

FAQ

Q: Can you use multiple inserts in one part?

A: Yes, we have produced parts with over 10 different metal inserts placed into a single mold, which is common for complex robotic "skeleton" parts.

Q: How do you prevent the plastic from leaking into the threads of the insert?

A: We use high-precision shut-off pins in our molds that seal the threaded area, ensuring the threads remain clean and functional after the molding process.
