POSITION TITLE: Senior CNC Programmer/Machinist
REPORTING TO: Production Manager
LOCATION: Livermore, CA 94551
OUR CLIENT: Thermal Press International
Website: https://www.thermalpress.com/
Thermal Press International is a 30+ year old industrial automation equipment manufacturing company. We manufacture precision “turn-key” heat staking machines, heat sealing machines, custom and automation systems, as well as complete custom tooling packages used in the medical, automotive, consumer products, electronics, and aerospace industries, and our machines are used around the world.
We are the leader in heat staking machines, equipment and processes, and we offer a wide variety of equipment and options to solve plastic, film, foil, and heat seal connector assembly applications.
Heat staking is a method of joining two or more parts, where at least one is made out of plastic. The bond is made by partially de-forming the plastic part to fix the other. Heat staking is the most efficient way to bond metal to plastic, and is commonly used in high volume/low cost applications in the automotive, telecom and appliance industries.
Unlike welding techniques, staking has the capacity to join plastics to other materials (e.g. metal), in addition to joining like or dissimilar plastics, and it has the advantage over other mechanical joining methods in eliminating the need for consumables, such as rivets and screws.
Our engineering staff assists companies for all of their heat sealing, heat staking, film & port welding, hot bar, thermal insertion, heat seal connector or any other plastic assembly applications. Our machines are shipped to our customers ready to install on their factory floors.
