Highly wear-resistant thread inserts for in-molding
IMTEC refers to the „In-Moulding TEChnology“ and describes the in-molding of metal thread inserts with plastics before ejection.
Characteristics
IMTEC – The joining solution for the in-molding technology
- Inserting of wear-free and resilient metal threads in high-quality plastics
- Generation of blind hole threads or through hole threads, depending on customer components
- Combining specific advantages of the different materials
- Plastic-metal components provide for advantages such as reduced weight, improved corrosion resistance and component cleanliness
- IMTEC molded inserts are particularly suitable for thermoset and thermoplastic materials
Technology
Component cleanliness, weight reduction, improved corrosion protection
IMTEC CO cross section
In many fields of application, in-molding of metal fasteners with plastics is the solution.
IMTEC molded inserts are benefiting of the advantageous synergy effect of high strength metals in combination with plastics.
IMTEC CF cross section
IMTEC molded inserts are placed into the mold manually or by means of a handling system. Only the core pins of the injection mold have to be geometrically adapted to the IMTEC molded inserts.
Product types
IMTEC CO
Thread inserts of asymmetric rolled stainless steel A2, which is coiled to a fixed bushing with one flange-type extension.
- Magnetic despite of stainless steel: Magnetisation of components due to the forming process and therefore fixation on the core pin
- Residual dirt minimization
- Weight reduction of the component
- Maximum usable thread length
IMTEC CF
Thread inserts with “double flange” produced from steel by cold forming.
- Deformation area allows precisely adjusting of the thread inserts length according to the mold dimension
- No metal-cutting operation
- Very large flange diameters possible
