Hi-Tech Friction Stir Welding machine expertise.

The award winning Crawford Swift Powerstir FSW machines are developed for a broad range of applications with special attention paid to structural rigidity and the load sensing requirements of the FSW process. This results in the mechanics of the Powerstir machines being able to react to even the heaviest welding loads, ensuring precise force control and minimum deflection.

Powerstir FSW machines offer far reaching opportunities for jointing traditionally difficult to weld alloys. Providing superlative weld properties without the detrimental effects of conventional welding.

The technology provided in the Powerstir range of FSW machines offers position control, force control, load sensing, real time data logging of weld parameters with closed loop feedback (adaptive control), seam tracking and height sensing.

Machines range from smaller travelling table Lab type machines, to massive 10 axis gantry machines with upper and lower spindles. Spindle powers up to 150 kW (202HP) are available. The Powerstir range ensures a solution is available for the most demanding of applications.
