Micro-Moulding

To meet the growing demand for electro-technical micro-components Miles Platts has added a new micro-moulding machine to our existing fleet of machines. This new addition allows us to to mould precision micro-components as small as <0.05g  for use in relays, solenoids and sensors. 

This micro-moulding machine will be used to micro-mould custom designed components with precision high quality tooling that will be manufactured in our in-house toolroom and use high performance engineering grade polymers such as PEEK and LCP. This Arburg 270A machine will ensure repeat accuracy and high processing quality with the use of peripheral monitoring and optimised injection units.

Micro bobbins need micro pins!

Miles Platts offers a terminal insertion service that complements our in-house tooling and moulding capabilities. We have the ability to insert pins both "post inserted" and "moulded in", providing competitive capabilities.

By utilizing fully automatic wire insertion machines, including automatic bowl-feeders for bobbins, we are able to produce accurately pinned bobbins and coil-formers to meet the highest tolerances. This allows us to handle high volume production efficiently.

Whether you require custom micro-mouldings or standard Miles Platts electro-technical components, we can leverage our knowledge and expertise to create new terminal styles to meet your requirements. These styles can incorporate features like IDC connections or solder-free PCB terminals, based on the specific needs and specifications of your components.
