PHASA 20 Year History PHASA was formed in 1984 to develop & market ‘Hot Air Staking’ - a process designed for in-house use by Flexible Lamps, PHASA’s parent company. 1988 - Steady growth manufacturing assembly machines for electrical, communication and white goods industries. Moved into premises at Haverhill, Suffolk. 1990 - Started building larger, more automated and higher specification machines for Sun Microsystems, Electrolux Cleaners, Apple Computers and etc. 1991 - First large machines designed and manufactured for Automotive Industry - Landrover, Ford, Rover and Volvo commercial vehicles. Continued general expansion of business, particularly within the Automotive Industry, which realised the potential of the process to achieve a tight 'squeak free' assembly. 1996 - Moved to New site at Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire located close to the M11 and four miles from Stansted Airport. Introduction of standard machine range, further process R & D with rapid business expansion 1997 - Increased export with machines to Germany for assembly of Mercedes inner door trim. 1998 - Development of 'High Volume' rotary machine for Ford Focus door assembly in Spain (potential of four sets of completed inner trims a minute from four machines worked by two operators). Additional standard (in line) machines supplied to Mexico and Germany to assemble some specific trim for on site local colour coordination. 1999 - Further expansion particularly within Automotive Interior sector, supplying door assembly equipment for the Jaguar X-Type cars and a major U.S.A. contract of sixteen machines and tooling for the build of 'Drive by Wire' assemblies. 2000 - Recognising the need from our customers for International market support entered into agency agreements covering - Germany - United States - Japan. 2001 - Moved to larger Freehold purpose built premises at International House, Harlow, Essex. 2002 - Developed, Patented and sold the first "Phasa Point" a new concept "one piece single staking system". 2003 - June; Phasa becomes part of the USA based United Components Industries.

The PHASA- Process The name that speaks for itself PlasticHotAirStakeAssembly The PHASA process offers: • Simple operation with the use of NON CONTACT Hot Air • A capable and repeatable process • A range of cost effective standard built machines • Interchangable, custom desigend tooling • A committed customer support with full documentation A controllable rivet type method of assembly for thermoplastic materials.
The PHASA Method of Assembly PHASA process uses Super Hot Air to heat selected parts of thermo- plastic mouldings. All the plastic has been fully heated and then cooled under pressure. When heated – cold tools are used to FORM, CLAMP and CHILL the specified area Into its new shape. As there is no contact with the parts being heated The process is CLEAN.
Elements of the standard PHASA Process Heating System Forming Platen Assembly to be processed Location & product support nest Index motion
The Basic PHASA Process • The assembly has been loaded into the nest and transferred to the heating station. • The Heating Manifold lowers and each part to be re-shaped is individually heated for a timed period before the heater retracts. Heating Manifold Forming Platen Index Motion
The Basic PHASA Process • Following heating the assembly is indexed back to the forming position where cold forming tools Shape, Clamp and Chill – combining the parts into a strong stable product . • Finally, after a short timed cooling period, the forming toll ascends and the finished assembly is returned to the loading point for replacement. • Complete Heating Manifold Forming Platen
