Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a highly efficient and reliable
welding process capable of producing high-strength, high-quality
welds with minimal distortion.
Our standard friction stir welding equipment is available in two
configurations: static gantry and moving gantry, and we offer
2-axis, 3-axis, and 5-axis options for each configuration. Each
gantry type can be equipped with various main axis options,
including conventional mechanical spindles, electric spindles, AC
pendulum axes, retractable spindles, and double shoulder spindles.
FSW is ideal for joining alloys with low melting points, such as
aluminum, copper, and brass, as well as for high-temperature
welding in steels and nickel-based alloys. The FSW technology has
been used in industries from aerospace to shipbuilding and rail to
EV battery tray.
DIG Benefits
Quality: FSW produces high-strength welding seams. No welding
defects such as pores or cracks.
Efficiency: FSW requires low heat input compared to fusion welding
processes as it does not require melting of the materials.
Easy Operation: Friction stir welding equipment realises
fully-automated welding, which can greatly lessen the requirements
for operators, making it suitable for both new and experienced
welders.
Versatility: Suitable for various industries including aerospace,
automotive, rail, and electronics due to its ability to weld
different materials and thicknesses.
Environmentally friendly as it produces no fume, spatter, or UV
radiation
