Mechanical Enclosure Press

Challenge

In electronics assembly, a two-shell enclosure is often used to protect internal hardware. Consistent and secure assembly is essential, especially at high production volumes. Manual assembly can lead to variations in pressure points, damage caused by incorrect placement, and reduced production speed.

solution

Contecto developed a press with an insertion mould specifically designed for the precise and efficient assembly of two-part enclosures containing internal hardware.

How does it work?

• Insertion Mould with Foam Protection: The insertion mould is fitted with foam that protects the enclosure from damage. The foam absorbs any dimensional tolerances in the enclosure, ensuring stable and secure positioning.
• Fixed Pressure Points: The press presses the top shell into the bottom shell using fixed pressure points. This guarantees consistent assembly without misaligned connections or damage.
• Automated Precision: Thanks to the standardised operation of the press, the enclosure is assembled in exactly the same way every time. This reduces human error and significantly speeds up the assembly process.

result

The implementation of this press with insertion mould delivered significant benefits:

• Improved Product Quality: Through consistent pressure distribution and correct assembly.
• Higher Production Speed: Fewer manual actions mean faster assembly.
• Reduced Failure Rate: Correct assembly prevents defects and damage.
• Efficiency and Consistency: Every enclosure is assembled exactly to specification.

With this custom solution, Contecto applies smart mechanical engineering to significantly improve production quality and speed. An innovative production tool tailored to our client’s needs.
