Stations Designed Around the Assembly
- Fixture and nest design for part support
- Heat stake head alignment and tooling access
- Dwell, temperature, and cycle-time control
- Operator-friendly loading and unloading
Capability • Thermal joining
Heat Staking
Heat staking applications demand process control because small variation can damage parts or weaken the joint. RWD Automation integrates heat staking stations around part support, tooling alignment, thermal consistency, and cycle control so the finished assembly is both secure and repeatable.
The work is not just forming plastic. It is protecting cosmetic surfaces, controlling force and dwell, and building a station that operators can load reliably while quality stays consistent from part to part.
Joining That Is Clean and Repeatable
- Process windows tuned to the part and material
- Checks for stake completion and part presence
- Integration with controls and recipe changes
- Launch support when assemblies move into production
