Manufacturing Technology:
Simplified Assembly
The process, called Injected Metal Assembly (IMA), is a specialized molten-metal injection technology created by FisherTech, a division of FisherCast Global Corp. (Peterborough, ON, Canada; www.fishercast.com). According to the company, the technology reduces assembly to a single-step operation and, in some instances, can reduce production costs by 70%. "The IMA process enables the manufacturer to eliminate a premanufactured component from an assembly by replacing it with a zinc alloy component which is die cast directly onto another part as it is joined to it," explains Meinrad Machler, chief technology officer of FisherCast Global. "The alloy can replace a more expensive material, and the IMA process eliminates the previous joining operations."
