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
