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:
