          Quik-Tek Inserts

          QT Series Inserts

          The advantages:
          Ideal for thermoplastic parts
          Especially designed for thermal installation
          Screw-locked and low-tension anchoring
          High pull-out values
          Efficient installation due to single-spindle, 
          multiple spindle or automatic machines with preheating device
          Designed for thermoplastic plastics (PPS. ABS、PP etc.)


          Installation:
          The QT thread insert is heated to the melting temperature of the plastic.
          As a result of the heat transfer upon insertion,the plastic is plasticised for a short
          time and flows into the undercut of the thread insert.Upon cooling,a low-stress
          interference is realised.

          How do you install metal threaded inserts?

          Installing Metal Thread Inserts involves several critical steps to ensure a secure and reliable connection. Here is a guide on how to install Metal Thread Inserts, including heat setting and other common methods:

          Installation Methods of Metal Threaded Inserts
          Thermoset Insert
          Materials Required:

          Metal thread inserts
          Heat tool or soldering iron
          Drill and drill bits (for initial holes)
          Safety equipment (gloves, goggles)

          Step:

          Prepare materials:
          Ensure that the material (usually plastic or composite) is clean and free of contaminants.
          Drilling:
          Drill a hole in the material that meets the specifications for the threaded insert. The hole should be slightly larger than the diameter of the insert.

          Heating Insert:
          Use a heat tool or soldering iron to heat the threaded insert to the appropriate temperature (usually between 350°F and 450°F or 175°C and 230°C).

          Insert the heating insert:
          Quickly insert the heated threaded insert into the pre-drilled hole while applying downward pressure to ensure it is fully seated.

          Cooling:
          Hold the insert in place until the material cools and solidifies. This usually takes a few seconds to a minute.

          Check the Bonds:
          Once cooled, make sure the insert is firmly in place and flush with the surface.
