FSW Head for CNC machines 3, 4 or 5 axes Our FSW head can weld from existing CNC machine tools, whether it is a 3, 4 or 5-axis machine. The Stirweld FSW head brings the FSW welding functions to the machining center: force control and recording, cooling, protection of the spindle against loads and vibrations. The offer of this equipment highly reduces the investment cost of an FSW machine while offering the same performance as a special FSW machine.

FSW STANDARD HEAD ADVANTAGES
Low investment cost
-compared to FSW special machines or robotic stations
Adaptability
-Despite the lack of standard machining centers, the StirWeld FSW head can be adapted to all CNCs.
Easy to install and to use
-After the first installation, the user can assemble and disassemble the FSW head in few minutes from machining to welding and vice versa.
FSW solutions
-The Stirweld FSW head offers many advantages among which low investiment cost and high customer support.
Here you can see a clear comparison with the other options on the market:
Technical sheet FSW Head
-Compliant part : height of 300 mm

Continuous innovation The Stirweld team puts a lot of effort in R&D and has recently achieved a newversion of Stirweld FSW head: codename « Cleansky ». The main advantage of this new head is its retractable pin, which avoids leaving a hole at the end of the FSW welding process. The project leading to this application has received funding from the Clean Sky 2 Joint Undertaking under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 831833.
