HYBRID TECHNOLOGY – COATING OF INSERTS

In hybrid technology, inserts (metal contacts, cables, screens or other inserts) are placed in the mould either manually or automatically. In some industries, for example, the dense bond is required for hygienic reasons or as protection against aggressive media and environmental influences. Inserts are also used for structural stabilisation, which we recommend especially in the case of heavy mechanical loads on the moulded parts. In the electrical industry, it is mainly contact elements that are coated. In order to ensure the correct positioning of the inserts in the series process, the coordination between mould and insert must be very precise. The insert is coated in the mould, which ensures a firm bond between the insert and the moulded part.
