Know-how
and expertise
Plastic Mechatronics
This is the family of products that allow the acquisition or transmission of a signal or an input.
The main products Plax produces include sensors, connectors, coils, actuators, knobs and technical housings.
Kinematics and transmission systems
This includes components made of special technopolymers capable of transmitting or transforming a mechanical movement.
The Plax Industrial Division has extensive experience in producing products such as bearing washers, clutches, pulleys, gears, etc.
Fluid management
This is the family of products capable of transferring any fluid material - air, water, oil, fuel, etc. - and/or making it air/watertight.
The multiple applications at Plax include housings for pumps, hydraulic blocks, connectors, gaskets, cylinders, fins, etc. These products are made with specific polymers certified for each application.
Technologies
Injection molding
Injection molding of highly quality precision industrial parts for small, medium and large scale production.
Bi-material molding
BI-INJECTION molding involves the injection of two different materials, at the same time, within the same cavity but through two different nozzles.
Overmolding
This technique involves the use of one or more inserts inside the mold. After completing the injection of the first material , the inserts in the mold are moved so as to create the space necessary inside the cavity for the injection of the second material.
Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) molding
This is a two-component liquid silicone rubber for the production of articles with elastic properties using injection molding.
Assembly
Departments and lines dedicated to both manual and automated assembly.
Mold construction
Plax has workshops for mold construction, repair and maintenance.
Thermoforming
Plax produces trays for the internal and external transport of mechanical and electronic parts and assemblies, with the necessary protection for objects from 5 mm to over 500 mm, designed to optimize space and facilitate all transport or packaging operations.
Raw materials used
