Overmoulding capability
30 September 2013
Specialist manufacturer of springs and wire components, has introduced an overmoulding capability for wire parts, which eliminates the need for metal retaining clips in assemblies such as car seats – providing an assembly that is both strong and fast to manufacture.
The new process can be applied to a wide range of wire assemblies and requires the wire parts to be manufactured to a high accuracy.
The components are brought together using special tooling designed by William Hughes and two vertical injection moulding machines perform the moulding process to complete the assembly.
