Friction Surfacing Machines for various axial loads and job sizes

Expand welding of new Materials

FSW has expanded to realm of materials that were hitherto difficult to weld. Magnesium, Aluminium, Copper and its alloys, Titanium , thermoplastics etc. are among the materials that can be fusion welded using FSW.

Environment Friendly

Being a solid-state process and no usage of environmentally harmful materials FSW is an energy efficient and environment friendly technology.There are no fumes or molten material involved in this process. ETA Technology has developed a uinique method of pre-heating the joins to further reduce the energy needs.

Better than Fusion welding

Being a Solid-state welding process, FSW eliminates most of the defects including porosity, solute redistribution and soldification cracking.

Minimal loss and better Join Characteristics

FSW supports a wide range of thickness and length thereby reducing any machining needs later.This is being increasingly adopted in Aerospace, Automobile and Space due to the vast array of advantages it provides.

Specifications

The machine is capable of providing up to 50kN axial thrust to the surfacing rod and can accomadate a maximum plate size of 500mm length X 300mm Width

Table movement :
- X axis -500mm
- Y axis:300mm
- z axis-(spindle slide):200mm
Hydraulic tank capacity:110 ltrs
Total connected load-30kW
Pnematic supply:4 bar

Applications

It is useful for joining high strength aerospace aluminum alloys and other metallic alloys that are hard to weld using conventional fusion welding.
