FOOKE FSW Medium
The FOOKE FSW Medium series offers machine tools for the hybrid processing of large-scale workpieces of low-melting metals, especially manufactured for friction stir welding of profiles, used in the rail vehicle, aerospace, shipbuilding and automotive industries.
High process forces generated during friction stir welding require a highly rigid machine structure. This is why the machines in the FOOKE FSW Medium series are designed for very high loads and at high stiffness levels. They are preferably used for joining thick sheets and profiles with 2D contours.

References and applications
Development of a 5-axis FSW process for joining large aluminium sheets to form an aircraft fuselage. This new FSW application makes it possible to significantly reduce the weight of an aircraft: 1 kg per metre of aircraft. This leads to a noticeable reduction in paraffin consumption and thus contributes to more environmentally friendly aviation.
Advantages:
- No sealant
- No drilling chips
- Less tool wear
- Lower energy consumption
- Lower fuel consumption
- Better aerodynamics
- Reduction of the cleaning effort
- No rivet head maintenance
- Full recyclability of the longitudinal seam
- Elimination of titanium fasteners
