Insert Molding (Moulding), Plastic Injection Molding

SINCERE TECH offers Insert Molding Services as an add-on to the plastic injection molding service.  There is one direct difference between the two processes; the plastic injection molding process only uses plastic material in order to create a product.  On the other hand, the Insert Molding process includes other types of plastic and/or metals in order to create a more advanced product. There are thousands of uses for Insert Molding manufacturing.

The Insert Molding Process

The Insert Molding process starts off by either inserting the metal inserts before the custom injection molding process, or they can be inserted during the custom injection molding process.  If the inserts are chosen to be inserted during the plastic injection molding process, an Insert Moulding process operator or a robotic arm will load them.  If chosen to insert the metal inserts after the plastic injection molding operation, the same robotic arm or Insert Molding process operator will load them after the plastic injection molding process is complete. Usually, Insert Molding takes place after the custom mold manufacturer China process. This procedure ideally reduces insertion costs, which can save our customers substantial costs on custom insert molding projects. If you want to know more knowledge about insert moulding, please go to what is insert molding page to take a look.

Regarding the Insert Molding process, there can be some very nice advantages when a robotic arm is handling parts.  When it comes to removing the molded parts and getting them ready for more processes, a multiple-axis robot can do that faster and more accurate than a human.  After the molded part is created and removed from the mold, the robot grips the part and moves it to either a location to be held or onto a system to be inspected.  The manufacturing equipment’s general layout and the kind of product being created are the determining factors in making this choice.

In order to assure a high level of quality for many parts that go through Insert Molding, robots can have vision systems mounted on them.  These vision systems inspect parts faster than a human, as well as know exactly what the metal component’s placement accuracy is.

Several industries thrive upon the products created through the Insert Molding process.  Actually, there are so many products created through this type of custom injection molding process, to buy inset molding from Injection Mold China company, that will save super cost since the low labor cost in China.  Here is a list of the industries these products belong to, and there is a list of the products that are created through this type of custom injection molding:
