          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 unscrew a threaded insert?

          Unscrewing a threaded insert can be difficult, especially if it is firmly secured or the surrounding material is damaged. Here are some methods you can use to remove a threaded insert:

          1. Use a screw extractor
          Materials Required: Screw extractor kit, drill, and drill bits.
          Steps:
          Drilling: If the blade head is damaged or stripped, use a drill bit that matches the size of the screw extractor to drill a small hole in the center of the blade.
          Insert the Screw Extractor: Select the appropriate size screw extractor and insert it into the hole you drilled.
          Turn Counterclockwise: Use a wrench or pliers to turn the screw extractor counterclockwise. The tapered design of the extractor should grab the inside of the insert, allowing you to unscrew it.

          2. Use pliers
          Materials Required: Pliers (locking pliers are preferred).
          Steps:
          GRAB THE INSERT: If the insert is protruding from the surface, use locking pliers to firmly grasp the insert.
          Turn counterclockwise: Turn the pliers counterclockwise to unscrew the inner core. Be careful not to use too much force, otherwise you may damage the surrounding materials.

          3. Use a flat head screwdriver
          Materials Required: Flat head screwdriver.
          Steps:
          Insert Screwdriver: If the insert has a slot or flat edge, you can use a flat-blade screwdriver to pry it out.
          Twist and Pull: Gently twist the screwdriver while pulling outward to help loosen the insert.
