Highlights of the FOOKE FSW 20
Machine design
The structural components of a FOOKE FSW 20 are manufactured as an extremely rigid, stress-relieved welded steel construction. The linear axes, which are equipped with hardened and ground linear guide elements, are driven by recirculating ball screws. The plates to be welded are fixed by a hydraulic clamping system specially developed for this purpose.
Control
The FOOKE FSW control system enables a simple and intuitive operation. The user interface is user friendly, clearly displaying all important information and ensuring optimum control of the welding process.
All relevant data e.g.
- welding force,
- speed,
- welding speed,
- traverse paths,
- etc.,
can be easily entered into the system.
FOOKE FSW force sensor system
The FOOKE FSW force sensor system consists i.a., of a sensor system integrated into the FSW spindle, which measures the axial force generated in the welding process. This ensures a constant force within certain limits to guarantee a consistent, optimum quality of the weld seam at all times.
FOOKE FSW 30
Friction stir welding unit for longitudinal cylinder or pipe welds
The FOOKE FSW 30 cylinder welding machine is a 2-axis machine tool for welding bent or rolled cylinders or tubes of aluminum or similar materials.
It can be ideally applied where round and oval workpieces with a length of up to 10,000 mm and a diameter of up to 2,600 mm are to be welded in the longitudinal direction.
