Plastic and Rubber Parts, Mold Making, Injection Molding, Thermoforming, Blow Mould, Vacuum Forming, Thermoset Mold, Polymer Components, at AGS-TECH Inc. Plastic & Rubber Molds and Molding We custom manufacture plastic and rubber moulds and moulded parts using injection moulding, transfer molding, thermoforming, compression moulding, thermoset moulding, vacuum forming, blow moulding, rotational moulding, insert moulding, pour moulding, metal to rubber and metal to plastic bonding, ultrasonic welding, secondary manufacturing & fabrication processes. We recommend that you click here to DOWNLOAD our Schematic Illustrations of Plastic and Rubber Molding Processes by AGS-TECH Inc. This will help you better understand the information we are providing you below. • INJECTION MOULDING : A thermoset compound is fed and injected with a high speed reciprocating screw or plunger system. Injection molding can produce small to medium sized parts in high volume economically, tight tolerances, consistency between parts and good strength can be achieved. This technique is the most common plastic products manufacturing method of AGS-TECH Inc. Our standard moulds have cycle times in the order of 500,000 times and are made of P20 tool steel. With larger injection moulds and deeper cavities consistency and hardness throughout the material becomes even more important, therefore we only use certified highest quality tool steel from major suppliers with strong traceability and quality assurance systems. Not all P20 tool steels are the same. Their quality can vary from supplier to supplier and from country to country. Therefore for even our injection moulds manufactured in China we use tool steel imported from US, Germany and Japan. We have accumulated the know-how of using modified P20 steel chemistries for injection moulding of products with surfaces requiring very tight tolerance mirror finishes. This makes us capable of manufacturing even optical lens moulds. Another type of challenging surface finish is textured surfaces. These necessitate consistent hardness across the surface. Therefore any inhomogeneity in the steel can result in less than perfect surface textures. For this reason some of our steel used for such moulds incorporates special alloying elements and is cast using advanced metallurgical techniques. Miniature plastic parts and gears are components that require know how on suitable plastic materials and processes which we have gained over the years. We manufacture tiny precision plastic components with tight tolerances for a company making micromotors. Not every plastic moulding company is capable of producing such tiny accurate parts, because it requires know-how which is acquired only through years of research and development experience. We offer the various types of this molding technique, including gas assisted injection molding. • INSERT MOULDING : Inserts can either be incorporated at the time of the molding process, or be inserted after the molding process. When incorporated as part of the molding process, the inserts can be loaded by robots or by the operator. If the inserts are incorporated after the molding operation, they can usually be applied any time after the molding process. A common insert moulding process is the process of molding plastic around preformed metal inserts. For example, electronic connectors do have metal pins or components enclosed by the sealing plastic material. We have acquired years of experience keeping the cycle time constant from shot to shot even in post moulding insertion, because variations in cycle time between shots will result in poor quality. • THERMOSET MOLDING : This technique is characterized by the requirement of heating the mold versus cooling for thermoplastic. Parts manufactured by thermoset molding are ideal for applications requiring high mechanical strength, widely usable temperature range and unique dielectric properties. Thermosetting plastics can be molded in any of the three molding processes: Compression, Injection or Transfer molding. The delivery method of the material into the mold cavities distinguishes these three techniques. For all three processes, a mold constructed of mild or hardened tool steel is heated. The mold is chrome plated to reduce wear on the mold and improve part release. Parts are ejected with hydraulically actuated ejector pins and air poppets. Part removal can either be manual or automatic. Thermoset moulded components for electrical applications require stability against flow and melt at elevated temperatures. As everyone knows, electrical and electronic components warm up during operation and only suitable plastic materials can be used for safety and long term operation. We are experienced in CE and UL qualifications of plastic components for the electronic industry. • TRANSFER MOLDING : A measured amount of molding material is preheated and inserted into a chamber known as the transfer pot. A mechanism known as the plunger forces the material from the pot through the channels known as sprue and runner system into mold cavities. While material is inserted the mold remains closed and is only opened when it is time to release the produced part. Keeping the mold walls at a higher than melting temperature of the plastic material assures fast flow of material through the cavities. We use this technique for frequently for: - Encapsulation purposes where complex metallic inserts are molded into the part - Small to medium sized parts at reasonably high volume - When parts with tight tolerances are needed and low shrinkage materials are necessary - Consistency is needed because the transfer molding technique allows consistent material delivery • THERMOFORMING : This is a generic term used to describe a group of processes to produce plastic parts from flat sheets of plastic under temperature and pressure. In this technique plastic sheets are heated and formed over a male or female mold. After forming they are trimmed to create a usable product. The trimmed material is reground and recycled. Basically there are two types of thermoforming processes, namely vacuum forming and pressure forming (which are explained below). Engineering and tooling costs are low and turnaround times are short. Therefore this method is well suited for prototyping and low volume production. Some thermoform plastic materials are ABS, HIPS, HDPE, HMWPE, PP, PVC, PMMA, modified PETG. The process is suitable for large panels, enclosures and housings and is preferable for such products to injection molding due to lower cost and faster tooling manufacture. Thermoforming is best suited for parts with important features mostly confined to one of its sides. However, AGS-TECH Inc. is capable to use the technique together with additional methods such as trimming, fabrication and assembly to manufacture parts that have critical features on both sides. • COMPRESSION MOULDING : Compression molding is a forming process where a plastic material is placed directly into a heated metal mold, where it is softened by the heat and forced to conform to the shape of the mold as the mold closes. Ejector pins in the bottom of the molds quickly eject finished pieces from the mold and the process is finished. Thermoset plastic in either preform or granular pieces is commonly used as the material. Also high-strength fiberglass reinforcements are suitable for this technique. To avoid excess flash, the material is measured prior to molding. The advantages of compression molding are its ability to mold large intricate parts, being one of the lowest cost molding methods compared with other methods such as injection moulding; little material waste. On the other hand, compression molding often provides poor product consistency and relatively difficult control of flash. When compared to injection molding, there are fewer knit lines produced and a smaller amount of fiber length degradation occurs. Compression-molding is also suitable for ultra-large basic shape production in sizes beyond the capacity of extrusion techniques. AGS-TECH uses this technique to manufacture mostly electrical parts, electrical housings, plastic cases, containers, knobs, handles, gears, relatively large flat and moderately curved parts. We possess the know-how of determining the right amount of raw material for cost efficient operation and reduced flash, adjusting to the right amount of energy and time for heating the material, choosing the most suitable heating technique for each project, calculating the required force for optimal shaping of material, optimized mould design for fast cooling after each compression cycle. • VACUUM FORMING (also described as a simplified version of THERMOFORMING) : A plastic sheet is heated until soft and draped over a mold. Vacuum is then applied and the sheet is being sucked into the mold. After the sheet takes the desired shape of the mould, it is cooled off and ejected from the mold. AGS-TECH uses sophisticated pneumatic, heat and hydrolic control to achieve high speeds in production by vacuum forming. Materials suitable for this technique are extruded thermoplastic sheets such as ABS, PETG, PS, PC, PVC, PP, PMMA, acrylic. The method is most suitable for forming plastic parts that are rather shallow in depth. However we also manufacture relatively deep parts by mechanically or pneumatically stretching the formable sheet prior to bringing it into contact with the mold surface and applying vacuum. Typical products molded by this technique are foot trays & containers, enclosures, sandwich boxes, shower trays, plastic pots, automobile dashboards. Because the technique uses low pressures, inexpensive mold materials can be used and molds can be manufactured in short time inexpensively. Low quantity production of large parts is thus a possibility. Depending on quantity of production mould functionality can be enhanced when high volume production is needed. We are professional in determining what quality of mold each project requires. It would be a waste of customer’s money and resources to manufacture an unnecessarily complex mold for a low volume production run. For example products such as enclosures for large sized medical machines for production quantities in the range of 300 to 3000 units/year can be vacuum formed from heavy gauge raw materials instead of manufactured with expensive techniques such as injection moulding or sheet metal forming. • BLOW MOULDING : We use this technique for producing hollow plastic parts (also glass parts). A preform or parison which is a tube-like plastic piece is clamped into a mould and compressed air is blown into it through the hole in one end. As a result the plastic perform / parison is pushed outward and acquires the shape of the mould cavity. After the plastic is cooled and solidified, it is ejected from the mould cavity. There are three types of this technique: -Extrusion blow moulding -Injection blow moulding -Injection stretch blow moulding Common materials used in these processes are PP, PE, PET, PVC. Typical items produced using this technique are plastic bottles, buckets, containers. • ROTATIONAL MOULDING (also called ROTAMOULDING or ROTOMOULDING) is a technique suitable to produce hollow plastic products. In rotational molding heating, melting, shaping and cooling occur after the polymer is put into the mold. No external pressure is applied. Rotamolding is economical for producing large products, mold costs are low, products are stress free, no polymer weld lines, few design constraints to deal with. The rotomolding process begins with charging the mold, in other words a controlled amount of polymer powder is put in the mould, closed and loaded into oven. Inside the oven the second process step is carried out: Heating and Fusion. The mould is rotated around two axes with relatively low speed, heating takes place and the molten polymer powder melts and sticks to the mould walls. Thereafter the third step, the cooling takes place solidifying the polymer inside the mould. Lastly, the unloading step involves opening of the mould and removal of the product. These four process steps are then repeated again and again. Some materials used in rotomoulding are LDPE, PP, EVA, PVC. Typical products produced are large plastic products such as SPA, childrens playground slides, large toys, large containers, rainwater tanks, traffic cones, canoes and kayaks...etc. Since rotationally moulded products are generally of large geometries and costly to ship, an important point to remember in rotational moulding is to consider designs that facilitate stacking of products into each other prior to shipment. We help our clients during their design phase if required. • POUR MOLDING : This method is used when multiple items need to be produced. A hollowed out block is used as a mold and filled by simply pouring the liquid material such as melted thermoplastic or a mixture of resin and hardener into it. By doing this one either produces the parts or another mold. The liquid such as plastic is then left to harden and takes on the shape of the mold cavity. Release agent materials are commonly used to release parts from the mold. Pour molding is also sometimes referred to as Plastic Potting or Urethane Casting. We use this process for inexpensively manufacturing products in the shape of statues, ornaments….etc., products that do not need excellent uniformity or excellent material properties but rather only the shape of an object. We sometimes make silicon molds for prototyping purposes. Some of our low volume projects are processed using this technique. Pour moulding can be used for manufacturing glass, metal and ceramic parts as well. Since the set-up and tooling costs are minimal, we consider this technique whenever low quantity production of multiple items with minimal tolerance requirements is on the table. For high volume production, the pour molding technique is generally not suitable because it is slow and therefore expensive when large quantities need to be manufactured. There are however exceptions where pour moulding can be used for large quantity production, such as pour molding potting compounds to encapsulate electronic and electrical components and assemblies for insulation and protection. • RUBBER MOLDING – CASTING – FABRICATION SERVICES : We custom manufacture rubber components from natural as well as synthetic rubber using some of the above explained processes. We can adjust the hardness and other mechanical properties according to your application. By incorporating other organic or inorganic additives, we can increase the heat stability of your rubber parts such as balls for high temperature cleaning purposes. Various other properties of rubber can be modified as needed and desired. Also be assured that we do not use toxic or hazardous materials for manufacturing toys or other elastomer / elastomeric molded products. We provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), conformance reports, material certifications and other documents such as ROHS compliance for our materials and products. Additional special tests are carried out at certified government or government approved laboratories if needed. We have been manufacturing automobile mats from rubber, small rubber statues and toys for many years. • SECONDARY MANUFACTURING & FABRICATION PROCESSES : Finally, keep in mind that we also offer a large variety of secondary processes such as chrome coating of plastic products for mirror-type applications or giving plastics the metal-like shiny finish. Ultrasonic welding is another example of a secondary process offered for plastic components. Yet a third example of secondary process on plastics can be surface treatment prior to coating to enhance coating adhesion. Automobile bumpers are well known to benefit from this secondary process. Metal-rubber bonding, metal-plastic bonding are other common processes we are experienced with. When we evaluate your project, we can jointly determine which secondary processes would be the most suitable for your product. Here are some of commonly used plastic products. Since these are off-the-shelf, you can save on mould costs in case any of these fits your requirements.

Sometimes, it is easier and more economical to get the work done by some chemicals, pressurized water jet or even light rather than using traditional techniques such as machining and stamping. On the submenu pages, you can find a summary of each of these alternative non-conventional fabrication techniques we are offering you. Non-conventional fabrication is also referred to as non-traditional fabrication. What distinguishes convention and non-conventional fabrication techniques ? – Generally speaking, conventional fabrication involves changing the shape of a work piece using an implement made of a harder material. Machining hard materials using conventional methods may require significant time and energy and result in high costs. In addition, conventional machining may lead to excessive tool wear and loss of quality in the product owing to induced residual stresses during manufacture. Therefore, especially for hard alloys, non-conventional fabrication techniques may be better alternatives. Whereas conventional fabrication processes generally use mechanical energy (motion), non-conventional fabrication processes utilize other forms of energy. Main forms of energy non-conventional fabrication processes use are: Thermal, Chemical and Electrical Energy. There can be a large number of advantages of non-conventional fabrication techniques over conventional methods. Just to name a few, non-conventional fabrication may involve quieter operation and no sound pollution, such as is the case with Chemical Machining. In non-conventional fabrication, material removal may occur with or without chip formation. For example, in Electrochemical Machining, material removal occurs due to electrochemical dissolution at atomic levels. Non-conventional fabrication may involve lower waste of material due to low or no wear as compared to conventional fabrication. On the other hand, non-conventional fabrication methods do have some disadvantages such as higher capital costs and the need for skilled operators. Also, non-conventional fabrication methods are not suitable for every type of material economically. Here is a downloadable guide comparing conventional and non-conventional fabrication methods: - A Brief Comparison of Conventional and Non-Conventional Fabrication Methods Since we are the World’s most diverse Global Custom Manufacturer, Integrator, Consolidator and Outsourcing Partner; we see it as our duty to determine technically the most suitable and economically the most feasible fabrication technique for your needs.

We dedicate this section to these joining and assembly techniques because of their importance in our manufacturing operations and the extensive content related to them. ADHESIVE BONDING: Did you know that there are specialized epoxies that can be used for almost hermetic level sealing ? Depending on the level of sealing you require, we will choose or formulate a sealant for you. Also do you know that some sealants can be heat cured whereas others require only a UV light to be cured ? If you explain us your application, we can formulate the right epoxy for you. You may require something that is bubble free or something that matches the thermal coefficient of expansion of your mating parts. We have it all ! Contact us and explain your application. We will then choose the most suitable material for you or custom formulate a solution for your challenge. Our materials come with inspection reports, material data sheets and certification. We are capable to assemble your components very economically and ship you completed and quality inspected products. Adhesives are available to us in various forms such as liquids, solutions, pastes, emulsions, powder, tape and films. We use three basic types of adhesives for our joining processes: -Natural Adhesives -Inorganic Adhesives -Synthetic Organic Adhesives For load-bearing applications in manufacturing and fabrication we use adhesives with high cohesive strength, and they are mostly synthetic organic adhesives, which may be thermoplastics or thermosetting polymers. Synthetic organic adhesives are our most important category and can be classified as: Chemically Reactive Adhesives: Popular examples are silicones, polyurethanes, epoxies, phenolics, polyimides, anaerobics like Loctite. Pressure Sensitive Adhesives: Common examples are natural rubber, nitrile rubber, polyacrylates, butyl rubber. Hot Melt Adhesives: Examples are thermoplastics like ethylene-vinyl-acetate copolymers, polyamides, polyester, polyolefins. Reactive Hot Melt Adhesives: They have a thermoset portion based on urethane’s chemistry. Evaporative / Diffusion Adhesives: Popular ones are vinyls, acrylics, phenolics, polyurethanes, synthetic and natural rubbers. Film and Tape Type Adhesives: Examples are nylon-epoxies, elastomer-epoxies, nitrile-phenolics, polyimides. Delayed Tack Adhesives: These include polyvinyl acetates, polystyrenes, polyamides. Electrically and Thermally Conductive Adhesives: Popular examples are epoxies, polyurethanes, silicones, polyimides. According to their chemistries adhesives we use in manufacturing can be classified as: - Epoxy based adhesive systems: High strength and high temperature endurance as high as 473 Kelvin are characteristic of these. Bonding agents in sand mold castings are this type. - Acrylics: These are suitable for applications that involve contaminated dirty surfaces. - Anaerobic adhesive systems: Curing by oxygen deprivation. Hard and brittle bonds. - Cyanoacrylate: Thin bond lines with setting times under 1 minute. - Urethanes: We use them as popular sealants with high toughness and flexibility. - Silicones: Well known for their resistance against moisture and solvents, high impact and peel strength. Relatively long curing times of up to a few days. To optimize the properties in adhesive bonding, we may combine several adhesives. Examples are epoxy-silicon, nitrile-phenolic combined adhesive systems. Polyimides and polybenzimidazoles are used in high-temperature applications. Adhesive joints withstand shear, compressive, and tensile forces pretty well but they may easily fail when subjected to peeling forces. Therefore, in adhesive bonding, we must consider the application and design the joint accordingly. Surface preparation is also of critical importance in adhesive bonding. We clean, treat and modify surfaces to increase the strength and reliability of interfaces in adhesive bonding. Using special primers, wet and dry etching techniques such as plasma cleaning are among our common methods. An adhesion promoting layer such as a thin oxide may improve adhesion in some applications. Increasing surface roughness may also be beneficial prior to adhesive bonding but needs to be well controlled and not exaggerated because excessive roughness can result in trapping of air and therefore a weaker adhesively bonded interface. We use nondestructive methods for testing the quality and strength of our products after adhesive bonding operations. Our techniques include methods such as acoustic impact, IR detection, ultrasonic testing. Advantages of adhesive bonding are: -Adhesive bonding can provide structural strength, sealing and insulation function, suppression of vibration and noise. -Adhesive bonding can eliminate localized stresses at the interface by eliminating the need for joining using fasteners or welding. -Generally no holes are needed for adhesive bonding, and therefore external appearance of components is unaffected. -Thin and fragile parts can be adhesively joined without damage and without significant increase in weight. -Adhesive joining can be used to bond parts made of very different materials with significantly different sizes. -Adhesive bonding can be used on heat sensitive components safely due to low temperatures involved. However some disadvantages do exist for adhesive bonding and our customers should consider these prior to finalizing their designs of joints: -Service temperatures are relatively low for adhesively joint components -Adhesive bonding may require long bonding and curing times. -Surface preparation is needed in adhesive bonding. -Especially for large structures it may be difficult to test adhesively bonded joints nondestructively. -Adhesive bonding may pose reliability concerns in the long term due to degradation, stress corrosion, dissolution….and the like. One of our outstanding products is ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE ADHESIVE, which can replace lead-based solders. Fillers such as silver, aluminum, copper, gold make these pastes conductive. Fillers can be in the form of flakes, particles or polymeric particles coated with thin films of silver or gold. Fillers can also improve thermal conductivity besides electrical. Let us continue with our other joining processes used in manufacturing products. MECHANICAL FASTENING and ASSEMBLY: Mechanical fastening offers us ease of manufacturing, ease of assembly and disassembly, ease of transportation, ease of parts replacement, maintenance and repair, ease in design of movable and adjustable products, lower cost. For fastening we use: Threaded Fasteners: Bolts, screws and nuts are examples of these. Depending on your application, we can provide you specially designed nuts and lock washers for dampening vibration. Riveting: Rivets are among our most common methods of permanent mechanical joining and assembly processes. Rivets are placed in holes and their ends are deformed by upsetting. We perform assembly using riveting at room temperature as well as at high temperatures. Stitching / Stapling / Clinching: These assembly operations are widely used in manufacturing and are basically the same as is used on papers and cardboards. Both metallic and nonmetallic materials can be joined and assembled quickly without need to predrill holes. Seaming: An inexpensive fast joining technique we use widely in manufacturing of containers and metal cans. It is based on folding two thin pieces of material together. Even airtight and watertight seams are possible, especially if seaming is performed jointly with using sealants and adhesives. Crimping: Crimping is a joining method where we do not use fasteners. Electrical or fiber optic connectors are sometimes installed using crimping. In high volume manufacturing, crimping is an indispensible technique for fast joining and assembly of both flat and tubular components. Snap-in Fasteners: Snap fits are also an economical joining technique in assembly and manufacturing. They permit quick assembly and disassembly of components and are a good fit for household products, toys, furniture among others. Shrink and Press Fits: Another mechanical assembly technique, namely shrink fitting is based on the principle of differential thermal expansion and contraction of two components, whereas in press fitting one component is forced over another resulting in good joint strength. We use shrink fitting widely in the assembly and manufacturing of cable harness, and mounting gears and cams on shafts. JOINING NONMETALLIC MATERIALS: Thermoplastics can be heated and melted at the interfaces to be joined and by applying pressure adhesive joining can be accomplished by fusion. Alternatively thermoplastic fillers of the same type may be used for the joining process. Joining of some polymers such as polyethylene may be difficult due to oxidation. In such cases, an inert shielding gas like nitrogen may be used against oxidation. Both external as well as internal heat sources can be used in adhesive joining of polymers. Examples of external sources we commonly use in adhesive joining of thermoplastics are hot air or gases, IR radiation, heated tools, lasers, resistive electrical heating elements. Some of our internal heat sources are ultrasonic welding and friction welding. In some assembly and manufacturing applications we use adhesives for bonding polymers. Some polymers such as PTFE (Teflon) or PE (Polyethylene) have low surface energies and therefore a primer is first applied prior to completing the adhesive bonding process with a suitable adhesive. Another popular technique in joining is the “Clearweld Process” where a toner is first applied to the polymer interfaces. A laser is then directed at the interface, but it does not heat the polymer, but does heat the toner. This makes it possible to heat only well-defined interfaces resulting in localized welds. Other alternative joining techniques in the assembly of thermoplastics are using fasteners, self-tapping screws, integrated snap-fasteners. An exotic technique in manufacturing and assembly operations is embedding tiny micron-sized particles into the polymer and using high-frequency electromagnetic field to inductively heat and melt it at the interfaces to be joined. Thermoset materials on the other hand, do not soften or melt with increasing temperatures. Therefore, adhesive joining of thermoset plastics are usually carried out using threaded or other molded-in inserts, mechanical fasteners and solvent bonding. Regarding joining and assembly operations involving glass and ceramics in our manufacturing plants, here are a few common observations: In cases where a ceramic or glass have to be joined with difficult-to-bond materials, the ceramic or glass materials are frequently coated with a metal that bonds itself easily to them, and then joined to the difficult-to-bond material. When ceramic or glass has a thin metal coating it can be more readily brazed to metals. Ceramics are sometimes joined and assembled together during their shaping process while still hot, soft and tacky. Carbides can be more easily brazed to metals if they have as their matrix material a metal binder such as cobalt or nickel-molybdenum alloy. We braze carbide cutting tools to steel toolholders. Glasses bond well to each other and metals when hot and soft.

Both Inch Threads as well as Metric Threads are available for fasteners. For Inch threaded fasteners external thread classes 1A, 2A and 3A as well as internal thread classes of 1B, 2B and 3B are available. These inch thread classes differ in the amount of allowances and tolerances. Classes 1A and 1B: These fasteners produce the loosest fit in assembly. They are used where ease of assembly and disassembly is needed such as stove bolts and other rough bolts and nuts. Classes 2A and 2B: These fasteners are fit for ordinary commercial products and interchangeable parts. Typical machine screws and fasteners are examples. Classes 3A and 3B: These fasteners are designed for exceptionally high-grade commercial products where a close fit is required. The cost of fasteners with threads in this class is higher. For metric threaded fasteners we have coarse-thread, fine-thread and a series of constant pitches available. Coarse-Thread Series: This series of fasteners are intended for use in general engineering work and commercial applications. Fine-Thread Series: This series of fasteners are for general use where a finer thread than the coarse-thread is needed. When compared to the coarse-thread screw, the fine-thread screw is stronger in both tensile and torsional strength and less likely to loosen under vibration. For the fasteners pitch and crest diameter, we have a number of tolerance grades as well as tolerance positions available. PIPE THREADS: Besides fasteners, we can machine threads on pipes according to the designation provided by you. Make sure to call out the size of thread on your technical blueprints for custom pipes. THREADED ASSEMBLIES: If you provide us threaded assembly drawings we can use our machines making fasteners for machining your assemblies. If you are unfamiliar with screw thread representations, we can prepare the blueprints for you. SELECTION OF FASTENERS: Product selection should ideally begin at the design stage. Please determine the objectives of your fastening job and consult us. Our fasteners experts will review your objectives and circumstances and recommend the right fasteners at the best in-place cost. To obtain the maximum machine-screw efficiency, a thorough knowledge of the properties of both screw and fastened materials is needed. Our fastener experts have this knowledge available to assist you. We will need from you some input such as the loads that the screws and fasteners must withstand, whether the load on the fasteners and screws is one of tension or shear, and whether the fastened assembly will be subject to impact shock or vibrations. Depending on all these and other factors such as ease of assembly, cost….etc., the recommended size, strength, head shape, thread type of the screws and fasteners will be proposed to you. Among our most common threaded fasteners are SCREWS, BOLTS and STUDS. MACHINE SCREWS: These fasteners have either fine or coarse threads and are available with a variety of heads. Machine screws can be used in tapped holes or with nuts. CAP SCREWS: These are threaded fasteners that join two or more parts by passing through a clearance hole in one part and screwing into a tapped hole in the other. Cap screws are also available with various head types. CAPTIVE SCREWS: These fasteners remain attached to the panel or parent material even when the mating part is disengaged. Captive screws meet military requirements, to prevent screws from being lost, for enabling faster assembly / disassembly and prevent damage from loose screws falling into moving parts and electrical circuits. TAPPING SCREWS: These fasteners cut or form a mating thread when driven into preformed holes. Tapping screws permit rapid installation, because nuts are not used and access is required from only one side of the joint. The mating thread produced by the tapping screw fits the screw threads closely, and no clearance is necessary. The close fit usually keeps the screws tight, even when vibration is present. Self-drilling tapping screws have special points for drilling and then tapping their own holes. No drilling or punching is needed for self-drilling tapping screws. Tapping screws are used in steel, aluminum (cast, extruded, rolled or die-formed) die castings, cast iron, forgings, plastics, reinforced plastics, resin-impregnated plywood and other materials. BOLTS: These are threaded fasteners that pass through clearance holes in assembled parts and thread into nuts. STUDS: These fasteners are shafts threaded at both ends and are used in assemblies. Two major types of studs are double-end stud and continuous stud. As for other fasteners, it is important to determine what kind of grade and finish (plating or coating) is the most suitable. NUTS: Both style-1 and style-2 metric nuts are available. These fasteners are used generally with bolts and studs. Hex nuts, hex-flanged nuts, hex-slotted nuts are popular. There are also variations within these groups. WASHERS: These fasteners perform many varied functions in mechanically fastened assemblies. Washers functions can be to span an oversized clearance hole, give better bearing for nuts and screw faces, distribute loads over larger areas, serve as locking devices for threaded fasteners, maintain spring resistance pressure, guard surfaces against marring, provide sealing function and much more. Many types of these fasteners are available such as flat washers, conical washers, helical spring washers, tooth-lock types, spring washers, special purpose types…etc. SETSCREWS: These are used as semipermanent fasteners to hold a collar, sheave, or gear on a shaft against rotational and translational forces. These fasteners are basically compression devices. Users should find the best combination of setscrew form, size, and point style that provides required holding power. Setscrews are categorized by their head style and point style desired. LOCKNUTS: These fasteners are nuts with special internal means for gripping threaded fasteners to prevent rotation. We can view locknuts basically as standard nuts, but with an added locking feature. Locknuts have many very useful application areas including tubular fastening, use of locknuts on spring clamps, use of locknut where assembly is subjected to vibratory or cyclic motions that could cause loosening, for spring mounted connections where the nut must remain stationary or is subject to adjustment. CAPTIVE OR SELF-RETAINING NUTS: This class of fasteners provide a permanent, strong, multiple-thread fastening on thin materials. Captive or self-retaining nuts are especially good when there are blind locations, and they can be attached without damaging finishes. INSERTS: These fasteners are special form nuts designed to serve the function of a tapped hole in blind or through-hole locations. Different types are available such as molded-in inserts, self-tapping inserts, external-internal threaded inserts, pressed-in inserts, thin material inserts. SEALING FASTENERS: This class of fasteners not only hold two or more parts together, but they can simultaneously offer sealing function for gases and liquids against leakage. We offer many types of sealing fasteners as well as custom designed sealed-joint constructions. Some popular products are sealing screws, sealing rivets, sealing nuts and sealing washers. RIVETS: Riveting is a fast, simple, versatile and economical method of fastening. Rivets are considered permanent fasteners as opposed to removable fasteners such as screws and bolts. Simply described, rivets are ductile metal pins inserted through holes in two or more parts and having the ends formed over to securely hold the parts. Since rivets are permanent fasteners, riveted parts cannot be disassembled for maintenance or replacement without knocking the rivet out and installing a new one in place for reassembly. The type of rivets available are large and small rivets, rivets for aerospace equipment, blind rivets. As with all fasteners we sell, we do help our customers in the design and product selection process. From the type of rivet suitable for your application, to the speed of installation, in-place costs, spacing, length, edge distance and more, we are capable to assist you in your design process.

Manufacturing and Assembly of Simple Machines, Lever Assembly, Wheel and Axle, Pulley, Pulley System, Hoist, Inclined Plane, Wedge, Screws from AGS-TECH Inc. Simple Machines Assembly A SIMPLE MACHINE is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. SIMPLE MACHINES can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that provide mechanical advantage. In other words, simple machines are devices with few or no moving parts that make work easier. Mechanical advantage is an advantage gained by using simple machines to accomplish work with less effort. The goal is to make the task easier (which means it requires less force), but this may necessitate more time or room to work (more distance, rope, etc.). An example of this is, applying a smaller force over a longer distance to achieve the same effect as applying a large force over a small distance. Mathematically speaking mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force exerted by a simple machine to the input force applied to it. Simple machines have been around for a very long time. Using simple machines, Egyptians built the Great Pyramids thousands of years ago. Simple machines will always be around in more advanced forms as building blocks of compound machines and other complex machinery. Simple machines we supply our clients can be broadly categorized as: - Lever, Lever Assembly - Wheel and axle assemblies - Pulley & Hoist, Pulley Systems - Inclined plane - Wedge and wedge based systems - Screw and screw systems A simple machine is an elementary device that has a specific movement (often called a mechanism), which can be combined with other devices and movements to form a machine. Thus simple machines are considered to be the ''building blocks'' of more complicated machines. As an example, a lawn mover may incorporate six simple machines. We do use visual simulation tools in the design of some simple machines, which aids in the optimization process. To give you a more familiar example, a bicycle may have the following simple machines: Levers: Shifters, the pedal levers, derailleurs, handlebars, freewheel assembly, brakes. Wheel and axle: The wheels, pedals, crankset Pulleys: Parts of the shifting and braking mechanisms, drive train (chain and gears). Screws: Many of these hold parts together Wedges: The teeth on the gears. Some gooseneck assemblies where the handlebars attach to the front fork tube may employ a wedge to tighten the connection. A COMPOUND MACHINE is a device that combines two or more simple machines. Using the six basic simple machines, various compound machines can be assembled. There are many simple and compound machines in our homes. Some examples of the compound machines used at home are can openers (wedge and lever), exercise machines/cranes/tow trucks (levers and pulleys), wheel barrow (wheel and axle and lever). As an example, a wheelbarrow combines the use of a wheel and axle with a lever. Car jacks are examples of screw-type simple machines that enable one person to lift up the side of a car. Many of the machine elements we manufacture and supply our customers are used in the assembly of simple machines. The choice of materials, coatings and fabrication processes are very important and depends on the application of the simple machine being designed for a particular task. We will always be pleased to guide you in the design phases of your simple machines and manufacture them for you with the highest quality. Simple machines AGS-TECH Inc. has manufactured are being used in automobiles, motorcycles, auto lift equipment, conveyor systems, production equipment and machines, consumer electronics and goods.
