Overmoulding and automated assembly
Hybrid monobloc components
Overmoulding is a process in which a metal substrate formed by cutting, stamping or bending is partially or totally coated with polymer material to create a one-piece hybrid component with combined characteristics. Fully automated, overmoulding enables the high rate production of parts and the assembly of large series at a controlled cost.
Overmoulding of connectors
Shock and vibration resistance
The overmoulding of metal parts by plastic injection is used on a large scale to produce all kinds of metal-plastic assemblies, while ensuring watertightness and electrical insulation. In the automotive industry, this includes the overmoulding of electrical connectors and housings for actuators and sensors.
CGR also uses processes other than thermoplastic injection moulding:
- Assembly of connector pins by stitching (force-fitting) into a plastic support.
- Potting of electronic or contact components with a resin to protect and seal them.
Automated assembly
Robotisation and optical control
Overmoulding enables several electrical or electronic parts to be assembled in a single automated operation. At CGR, we develop our own production lines using the latest robotisation, optical control and data analysis technologies. This enables us to produce complex sub-assemblies in millions of units, with consistent quality and zero defect.
We take charge of your entire overmoulding and assembly project, from feasibility studies and prototyping to series production: project analysis, solution design, cutting and stamping of metal parts, plastic overmoulding and automated assembly.
