Components is your start-to-finish plastic injection
molding and manufacturing company. By offering comprehensive
value added services we are truly able to say that we
can take your concept and make it reality. Tapping is
one of our value added machining techniques that is
done in conjunction with drilling to put threads in
a pre-drilled hole of your custom plastic injection
molded part or component. To ensure that the threads
are straight and clean, Aline Components uses special
tapping heads - thread-cutting and thread-forming.
Advantages of our Thread-Cutting Screws
- High tensile values
- Requires high amount of torque to
strip threads
- Maintains its form under continuous
assembly and disassembly cycles
- Ideal for non-brittle plastics
Advantages of our Thread-Forming Screws
- Low hoop stress
- Ideal for brittle plastics
Both thread-cutting and thread-forming
self-tapping screws are used to assemble components,
especially in cases where different materials must be
joined together to form a complete system. They offer
a particular advantage where routine disassembly may
be necessary for maintenance or repair. Aline's self-tapping
screws are available both in thread-cutting type as
well as thread-forming type. Thread-cutting screws physically
remove plastic material to form the thread path. Thread-forming
screws deform the plastic into which they are driven
to produce a permanent thread. To determine which type
will work best, our designers base their decision on
the material's flexural modulus, a measure of a plastic's
stiffness.
Aline Components supplies different types
of plastic tapping screws to meet your application needs
regardless of industry. Our screws are uniquely designed
to tap and fasten securely into plastic materials for
long, reliable service life. In applications where vibration
resistant assembly is a must, we utilize only the best
self-tapping screws available.
At Aline Components, we offer tapping
services to customers based nationally and regionally
in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, and
Maryland. With Aline's comprehensive services and attention
to quality at every stage in production, customers receive
custom plastic parts or components from a plastic injection
molding and manufacturing company they can trust.
