Friction Spin-Welding System

Coldwater Machine will show its automated SpinMeld friction spin-welding system, a solid-state joining technology for steels, aluminum, cast or sintered metals, carbide materials, magnesium, nickel, molybdenum and other exotic materials that normally may not be welded using other methods. The SpinMeld process is servo-controlled with a high-speed spindle bringing critical parameters under control with in-process monitoring to improve part quality and eliminate post-weld inspection.

The systems are available with automatic parts handling and inspection, or as stand-alone units. They also may be integrated into a turnkey solution. Each machine is designed to fit the individual application with customizable parameters such as rotational speed, cycle time and forging force.
