This vacuum cleaner motor end cover processed using a PHASA 20/40 machine, forms 4 conventional stakes to retain a dust plate while at the same time creating a "roll over" to retain the central bearing. This assembly becomes very hot in service and joint integrity is very important.

A special built rotary machine processes up to 50 different

models of this popular electric car. Not only staking the contact points

a magnet for track retention is also staked at the same time.

This missile detonator for British Aerospace incorporates a "roll over"

feature securing 0.5mm thick disc of aluminium separating the detonating charge from the main charge. Mounted on 30% G.F. Polyethermide the fixing was both delicate and needed to be fully secured.

This kettle scale filter shows the delicate control of fixing the stainless 

steel spring without damage to the adjacent fine filter mesh. Repeated heating and cooling of this assembly during its working life has no

effect on the integrity of the joint.

Staking the polycarbonate windows on these Motorola mobile

telephones called for accurate distribution of the heat energy

eliminating any marking on the "A" face. High production volumes

were achieved with a consistent final product by using a PHASA 20/40 machine with multiple impression nests.

This key map panel for a Xerox copy machine has multiple stakes securing, but leaves a number of unprocessed stakes making the part a serviceable component thus saving the cost of a complete replacement assembly.

Part of a water meter these impellors have a magnet staked within

the main armature. Using a standard 20/40 machine not only different

size parts are processed but the magnet polarities are checked and confirmed at the same time.

Staking into a die casting these multiple stakes have been formed into

a counter sunk angled recess giving a smooth and balanced assembly

for a high speed sewing machine.
