Insert Molding

Insert molding usually combines parts (both metal and plastic), thereby reducing the number of components, eliminating assembly operations, and yielding a more functional, ready-to-assemble component. In that sense, it is typical of our value-added manufacturing philosophy at Mursix.

What separates Mursix from other companies with insert molding capabilities is the ability of our highly skilled manufacturing and process engineers to add value to the process. For example, we are one of the few insert molders that can mold parts in which the contacts have already been affixed to the metal insert, which requires extremely tight tolerance control. Another value-added example would be our ability to automatically solder microswitches to the terminals of the molded assembly. This operation is done in a manufacturing cell that also performs automated testing of the completed unit.
