Effective shock and impact protection is vital to protect the internal components of industrial tools from potential damage caused by impacts or accidental drops. At Armstrong, our expertise in die-cutting, thermoforming, and elastomer molding enables us to create customized solutions that effectively dissipate impact energy, thus minimizing the risk of damage.

Electronic Parts & Components

Compression pads & cushions

Requirements

  • Must be firm enough to hold component in place and compressible enough to withstand dimensional changes over the life during operation of the component
  • Reliable compression set resistance (C-set) and stress relaxation performance over a broad range of operating conditions
  • Able to absorb the impact energy as required

Solutions

  • Process: Die cut;   Materials: Microcellular PU foam, PE foam, PP foam

Tool Boxes & Cases

Inserts and inlays

Requirements

  • Must be precisely tailored to the dimensions and shape of the items and the interior of the protective case
  • Excellent shock-absorbing properties to protect the items from impacts or drops, while minimizing the risk of scratches or other forms of physical harm.
  • Durable for repeated use with ability to resist deformation, tearing, or breaking down under normal handling and transportation conditions.
  • May require static discharge protection or resistance to moisture depending on requirements

Solutions

  • Process: Die cut;   Materials: PE foam, EVA foam, PU foam
