Fishertech, a division of Fisher Gauge Limited, uses its Injected Metal Assembly process to permanently join small components in precise configurations, more economically than traditional assembly methods.

The components to be assembled are placed in an assembly tool within the IMA system, which holds them in their correct relationship. Molten zinc alloy is then injected into the space between the components. As the alloy cools, it shrinks, forming a strong, mechanical lock. Completed assemblies are ready to use and require no secondary operations.

Can be applied to several types of materials:

• Metals 
• Ceramics  
• Paper 
• Elastomers 
• Plastics
• Glass
  

The IMA process offers numerous benefits, including increased productivity, reduced material costs, improved precision and the elimination of many time consuming steps. Several different types of systems are available.
