AIM Processing makes small electronic components that meet electronics manufacturer’s requirements including mechanical strength, conductivity, and low susceptibility to electrostatic discharge (ESD). We are experts in insert molding and overmolding as well as metal replacement. Our expertise in these services can save electronics manufacturers weight and cost of their parts as well as ensuring high-performance components.
Materials expertise for electronics applications
Our engineers have the materials expertise to provide guidance on the appropriate plastic composite for your component. Whether you need high conductivity or low conductivity (a highly insulating component) or need to meet a flammability requirement, our engineers can help recommend an appropriate material. We can offer static-free materials that prevent ESD damage to sensitive electronic circuitry. When a material requirement is critical, you can rely on our engineers to help you find the right material.
Optimizing the manufacturing process
Our engineers, experienced in design for manufacturability, will work with you to develop process steps that address all your requirements and cost-effectively create your parts. The engineering team is available throughout the life of the part in case requirements for the part change
Molding expertise for component protection
Two of our specialties are insert molding and overmolding. This can ensure your component cannot short to any conducting surfaces. We have insert molded and overmolded filters, electronic circuits, and connectors. These services can reduce the size and weight of assemblies.
Eliminating metal parts
Another area of expertise is metal replacement. In the past decade, new plastics have been developed that can meet the mechanical requirements of many metal parts. This allows plastic parts to replace metal parts. With plastic parts such as small enclosures, standoffs and brackets, you can compress your circuitry to meet small size requirements without compromising product reliability.
Protecting your product from the environment
We have extensive experience with manufacturing parts such as small enclosures that can seal your product from dust and moisture. We can help you achieve an IP67 rating for your product if it must operate outdoors.
Additional operations for component identification
Our secondary services can help with your inventory management and avoidance of incorrect part placement. We can perform such functions as providing laser etching and part marking for easy identification of injection molded parts. In addition, we can provide a shielding treatment on an enclosure to minimize the risk of external electromagnetic interference impacting your electronic device’s performance. If we are making a multi-part subassembly for you, we can put the assembly together to reduce your component count and reduce your manufacturing costs.
High volume and low volume adaptability
We can accommodate your volume requirements. If you require high volume, we operate 37 presses on a seven-day a week schedule. If you have an extensive product line consisting of many low volume products, we can cost-effectively run small volumes of 1000 parts up to millions.
