AMTEC® stands for “After Moulding TEChnology” and refers to the installation of thread inserts in plastic components after moulding. Today the world of lightweight construction can no longer be imagined without plastics, and they are conquering ever more sectors. Their great flexibility in terms of processing and component design leads to an increasing replacement of metallic materials by plastics. Due to their outstanding mechanical properties, low weight and attractive manufacturing costs, plastics are a fundamental part of industry today. AMTEC® thread inserts make it possible to achieve the advantageous synergy effects resulting from high-strength metals in combination with plastics. Method / principle AMTEC® thread inserts have been specifically designed for after moulding installation. The result: a wear-free, high-strength thread in your high-quality plastic components. Applications AMTEC® thread inserts are suitable for installation in moulded parts made of thermoset / thermoplastic materials and FCP or CFRP. They are used in an enormous range of sectors, for example in air bags, automotive interiors and air-conditioning systems, in addition to office furniture. Benefits - Shorter injection cycles - No risk of damaging the injection mould - No stress cracks - Secure, stress-free anchoring - Reduction in relaxation effects - Multi-release joining points
