automaticfor profilesfor aluminum

Overview
FSW16MG400 is a five-axis, four-link large CNC moving-gantry friction stir welding (FSW) machine. It is designed for industrial production of high-strength, high-quality aluminium welds and is particularly suited to rail vehicle body components and heavy truck body parts. The machine addresses strength and surface finish requirements of aluminium alloy welding and is a preferred solution for aluminium joining applications.

Main features

• Workpiece-fixed vertical layout: worktable/base, parts and fixtures are fixed while gantry columns provide horizontal feed to ensure high-quality friction stir welding
• User-friendly control interface
• Dual welding operation modes
• Dual-mode welding control system
• Wireless handheld control unit
• Centralized lubrication system
• Follower/guide wheels for tool support
• High-rigidity structural design
