Key Specs
Gantry FSW process capabilities:
Materials: All aluminium alloys (up to 50mm thick) , copper, titanium, steel, and dissimilar joints
Travel Speed: 30–5000 mm/min (material, tool, and thickness dependent)
Clamping & Fixturing: Custom fixtures supported, gantry design ensures rigidity
Robotic FSW process capabilities:
Materials: All aluminium alloys
Travel Speed: Optimised for high-speed welding in thin aluminium
Tooling & Fixturing: Compatible with adaptable modular fixturing and integrated cooling
Gantry FSW Extended Capability
Supports welding of extended panel builds >10 metres in length (~2m width) via modular panel handling and repositioning. This is ideally suited for:
- Aerospace structures
- Truck beds and chassis rails
- Marine bulkheads
- Energy systems and cooling assemblies
Robotic FSW Extended Capability
Supports extended straight welds up to 5 metres with minimal changes to the table setup. Its robotic flexibility makes it ideal for:
- Lightweight structural panels
- Battery and thermal management enclosures
- Liquid-cooled cold plates
- Aerospace seat rails and floor assemblies
- Automotive body-in-white components
- Defence and electronics casings
Gantry FSW Applications
- FSW process development in high-integrity materials
- Manufacture of prototypes and small production runs
- Validation of novel joint designs and dissimilar material welds
- Heavy-duty tool testing and parameter optimisation
- Real-time quality assurance trials and digital twin research
Robotic FSW Applications
- Process development in thin aluminium alloys
- Prototype and short-run production of lightweight components
- Trials requiring complex or non-linear weld paths
- Agile projects where flexibility and speed are critical
