The manufacturing process of Soft rubber grip pegs involves several intricate steps, each contributing to the peg's functionality and durability:
Material Selection:
The process begins with the careful selection of materials. High-quality, durable plastics are chosen for the main body of the peg, ensuring that it can withstand repeated use and exposure to the elements. The rubber material for the soft grips is also selected for its flexibility and longevity.
Injection Molding:
The selected materials are processed through an injection molding machine. The machine heats the plastic to a precise temperature and pressure, injecting it into molds to create the various components of the peg, including the main body, jaws, and hinge. The rubber grips are similarly molded to the exact specifications.
Rubber Grip Attachment:
After the rubber grips are molded, they are attached to the jaws of the peg. This is usually done by using adhesives or by heat bonding the rubber to the plastic components. Care is taken to ensure that the grips are securely attached.
Spring Installation:
The metal springs are installed within the peg's main body. They are positioned in a way that ensures they provide the necessary tension to keep the peg jaws closed when in use.
Assembly:
The individual components, including the main body, rubber grips, jaws, hinge, and springs, are assembled to create the complete soft rubber grip peg. The hinge is attached to allow the peg to open and close smoothly.
