Product Details

FSW spindle for robot

-Our robotic FSW solution allows you to weld with any high payload robot.

-Our FSW spindle for robot brings the functions of Friction Stir Welding to a standard industrial robot.

-Your robot becomes a hybrid tool combining welding and machining with an automatic tool changer.

-This hybrid welding and machining spindle for robot opens up a wide range of applications: 3D welding, welding of large parts, welding of panels longer than 10 metres.

 


FSW SPINDLE FOR ROBOT ADVANTAGES

NO HYDRAULIC POWER

-Less expensive, no maintenance (electrical and pneumatic power)

AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGER

-Automatic management of FSW tool lifetime No human operation

ADAPTABILITY

-Compatible with all high payload robot and suitable for all robot integrators

WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS

-Welding of large parts, 3D welding, welding of panels longer than 10 metres

FSW EXPERTISE

-Prototyping and qualification of parts at Stirweld and transfer production to the customer

HYBRID FSW SPINDLE

-Welding and milling on one workstation thanks to an automatic tool changer

 


FSW SPINDLE FOR ROBOT CHARACTERISTICS

 


TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF STIRWELD FSW SPINDLE FOR ROBOT:

-Rotational speed up to 10 000 RPM for high welding/milling speed

-Automatic tool changer for FSW tool lifetime management and/or milling operations

-Maximum payload of 18 kN

-Full water cooling for high productivity

-Full monitoring for 100% online quality control (according to EN 9100 standard)

-Full electrical and pneumatic power (no hydraulic power)

 


FEATURES OF STIRWELD FSW PROCESS ON ROBOT WORKSTATION

-The main function of the FSW spindle for robot is to manage the force applied by the FSW tool.

-A sensor is used to measure, control and record the force applied during the welding operation to ensure quality control.

-The design of the robotic-based solution for FSW protects it from vibrations and forces as well as from heat generated during welding.

-Indeed, a cooling circuit is integrated to protect the spindle and the robot from the heat generated during welding.

-The Stirweld FSW spindle for robot is therefore suitable for mass production and ensure the quality of the FSW process by providing a constant FSW tool temperature.

-Temperature sensors are integrated into the spindle to monitor the temperature and to prevent overheating.

 


QUALITY CONTROL

FORCE CONTROL

-Force control according to tool axis (forging force or downward force)

COOLING SYSTEM

-Integrated cooling circuit to protect the spindle during welding & to cool down the FSW tool

SPINDLE PROTECTION

-Protection against the heavy loads and vibrations of the FSW process

AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGER

-Automatic quick tool change (welding/milling or FSW tool change)

FORCE RECORDING

-Recording of the forging force and the temperature of the spindle

EN 9100 STANDARD

-Full monitoring according to EN 9100 standard
