Plastic Heat Staking
and Insertion Equipment

"Our Most Popular Model
over 3,000 in use!"

The E-Z Series thermal assembly system offer many distinct advantages over other methods of assembly:

• Lower Capital Investment
• Unlimited Tooling Design
• Interchangeability of Tools.
• Increased productivity by combining several operations into a single cycle.

E-Z 500 Series 1/4 ton press.
The E-Z is also available in 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton versions.

Sonitek's E-Z series pneumatically operated bench top system is an economical unit designed for simplicity. Versatility, ease of application set-up, and serviceability are evident in the independent power supply and temperature zone control modules, each located on opposite sides of the press.

The E-Z series comes standard with all the basic functions required for successful secondary operations using our thermal technology.

The E-Z series is offered in three models: the Model 500 1/4 ton press, the Model 550 1/2 ton press, and the Model 570 3/4 ton press. These models are ideal for various single or multipoint/multilevel secondary operations such as staking, insertion, and hot knife degating.

This user friendly system will truly make your plastic assembly applications appear "E-Z" to tackle.

Insertion
Standard tips available for
inserts up to 3/8" or M10

Hot Knife De-Gating
Heated sharp blades with beveled
edge can cut gate flush to -.010

Staking
Custom platens available to stake
several studs/tabs simultaneously.

Date Coding/Serialize
Use type holders or multi-wheel
numbering for permant part I.D.
