Product & Process Design
FPT is your one-stop shop to start up your production with the FSW technology: a well-organised structure with technical departments, laboratories, a metrological room and everything you need to be supported through the definition of your project. In short time frames, because every step of the process is carried out in-house.
Once your project has been submitted and its feasibility has been analysed, we take part in development and indicate any changes, we make and analyse the prototypes, then perform sampling and choose the most suitable machinery, tool and equipment for your production.

STIRCELL
The research and development activities of FPT Industrie S.p.A. expand the range of machines with the new model for Friction Stir Welding operations, which is based on the experience gained in the field of friction stir welding with the StirLAB, StirWALL, and StirROB machines.
The new cartesian machine is equipped with 4.5 axes for FSW (Friction Stir Welding), featuring Fanuc numerical control and 100% FPT-made welding management software.
Built with a electrowelded structure in a fixed bench configuration with a mobile carriage and vertical slide, it is designed to integrate the most performing FSW welding capabilities.
Compact and flexible layout, installable on industrial flooring without the need for specific foundations.
With a special head equipped with force sensors, the machine allows the use of STD (fixed PIN welding) and SSFSW (stationary shoulder) technologies, optionally with retractable pin.
The working area is enclosed by fixed and mobile guards, allowing:
• Easy access for the operator
• Maximum ease for loading and unloading parts
The machine is also suitable for integration into highly automated systems for prototype or series production.

TUDX : Specific FSW electrospindle
The electrospindle designed for FSW welding is taken from the accessory magazine, making it possible to turn the machine tool into an FSW system.
The integration, made entirely by FPT on its plants, makes it possible to have a flexible and user-friendly system for FSW welding, and does not require any mechanical modification to the machine, but makes use of the outfitting for this single function.

FSW sensor Head
One or more sensor heads, with identical morphology and interface to a standard tool make it possible to transform the machine tool into an FSW system.

Fixed Pin
The Fixed Pin features a single-block morphology, in which the shoulder and pin are obtained from a single tool.
Suitable when the forces applied are very high and for welding pieces with constant thickness, it enables standard welding, characterised by good quality and high feed speed.

Retractable Pin
The Retractable Pin tool is a highly flexible solution, that suits all types of welding pathways.
The Retractable Pin not only makes it possible to weld closed pathways, without leaving an exit hole at the end of the weld, but it is also suitable for welding pieces that have variable edge thickness.

Bobbin Tool
The Bobbin Tool is suitable for open linear pathways and makes it possible to weld medium/high thickness.
Thanks to the presence of the counter shoulder, the forces involved in the process are balanced and therefore application is ideal in cases where very extensive welds must be made on thick edges.
This generally makes it possible to simplify the clamping equipment, as it is only required to keep the edges in contact.
