Coldwater Machine initiates low-volume friction stir weld service

Coldwater, Ohio – Coldwater Machine Co., an engineering solutions company that manufactures and integrates precision equipment and tools for multiple industries, has announced that its Solid State Joining Center is now providing pre-production, prototype, and low volume friction stir weld part production at its headquarters in Coldwater, Ohio. The company has five Coldwater Friction Weld Systems (FWS Series) available for use, which are all suited for joining like or dissimilar materials including aluminum, magnesium, brass, steel and carbon fiber composites. The five weld systems vary in size and capacity and include robotic automation. 

 

“We have significant experience in successfully welding a variety of materials with our friction stir weld systems,” said Coldwater’s Joining Center Director Bob Rich. “As companies are challenged with joining new materials entering the market, they can rely on us as a research and production source, or for the system integration of our technology and equipment into their production facilities, allowing them to better concentrate on their core areas of value.”

 

Coldwater Machine’s friction stir welding solutions are recognized for their cost-effective, repeatable, and robust processes, helping to reduce cycle time and defects when compared to other welding or joining techniques.
