Are Precise Inserts revolutionizing the manufacturing and industrial technology sectors?

In the realm of manufacturing and industrial technology, Precise Inserts have emerged as a game-changer, particularly in sectors requiring high precision and durability. Recent developments in the production and application of these inserts have captured the attention of industry experts and stakeholders.

New Technological Advancements

A significant breakthrough has been achieved in the production of die inserts for hot work applications. Traditional methods involved the use of WNL (NiCrMoV6) steel, followed by toughening processes. However, recent innovations have introduced the use of cast steel with a composition corresponding to WCL (X38CrMoV5-1) steel. After toughening, these inserts undergo gas nitriding regulated by the NITREG method or fluidized bed oxynitriding. Tests conducted on these inserts have shown a remarkable improvement in immediate resistance, impact strength, and service life. The beneficial effects of nitriding and oxynitriding on the properties of die inserts have been well-documented, making them a preferred choice for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

Moreover, the Shaw method of precise casting has reduced manufacturing costs, making these inserts more accessible and affordable for a wider range of industries. This technological innovation has not only enhanced the performance of die inserts but also made them more cost-effective, driving their adoption in various manufacturing processes.

Applications Across Industries

Precise Inserts have found widespread applications across various industries, including garment shops, building material shops, manufacturing plants, machinery repair shops, farms, home use, printing shops, construction works, energy & mining, advertising companies, and more. For instance, in the power transmission sector, Precise Inserts have been used to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of belt tracking and alignment systems. Keben Rubber and Plastic Products Hebei Co., Ltd., a leading custom manufacturer, offers PK Belt Groove Inserts specifically designed for precise belt tracking. These inserts are made of pure EPDM rubber, featuring high flexibility, smooth surfaces, and customized colors and sizes to meet specific customer requirements.

Predictive Technology for Stress Management

Another noteworthy development in the field of Precise Inserts is the introduction of predictive technology for stress management. The Insert Technology allows for the processing of plastics with metal inserts to achieve higher functional integration in a single production step. However, high loads during insert molding often lead to stress and potential failure. A newly developed calculation method enables accurate prediction of real stresses in the insert, thereby preventing failures and optimizing the overall performance of the product.
