Friction Stir welding

Rosio™ Friction Stir Welding Flash butt welding
Robot ESAB manufacture a complete series of flash butt welding
machines for different welding objects with a welding area of
Friction Stir Welding Robot for welding of challenging joints 2 2
500 mm up to 30,000 mm .
The ESAB Friction Stir Welding robot system enables flexible
The flash butt welding technique is especially convenient and
joining of complex structures, preferably in Aluminium. The abil-
profitable for precision and mass production work as it permits a
ity to perform welds in an arbitrary direction of a 3-dimensional
high level of mechanization and automation of the manufactur-
workspace increases the possibilities of usage for new challeng- ing process.
