Ultrasonics is on the money for metal inserts

Ultrasonic technology provides a fast, consistent and measurable solution to the assembly of brass and metal inserts within thermoplastic components.

Ultrasonics also offers flexibility in the way in which the technology is applied, from manual operation to fully automated and integrated solutions.

Money Controls, based in Oldham, produces payment systems and associated products for the gaming, amusement, transport, ticketing, retail and kiosk markets.With many of the individual thermoplastic components used within the company's products making use of threaded brass or steel inserts,Money Controls turned to Telsonic to provide the ultrasonic technology and systems required to ensure consistent quality and performance for volume production.

Three semi-automatic Telsonic systems are used to assemble both male and female insert types with M3 to M8 thread sizes, to a wide range of component parts, with multiple inserts being attached to most items.
