In recent months we have begun to apply continuous overmoulding processes on stamped terminal strips in our plant. The process commences with the production of the metal inserts, which once manufactured are wound ready for the overinjection process. The metal strip with the inserts is introduced into an injection mould in which a PA66 loaded with Mb overinjects the necessary plastic into the inserts.
This injection is carried out with hot nozzles activated by needle valves. When the overinjection has ended, the parts pass through a vision control system which verifies 100% of the batch and through a final cutting station.
These parts are destined to sensors for the automotive market.
