Record-breaking linear friction welding is made possible by high-powered hydraulics and sophisticated controls. • The E100 welds up to 15 in.2, applying 22,050 lb of force. • Moog hydraulics permit ...

Now arriving in Middletown: The world’s largest welding machine. Early Wednesday morning, the linear friction welding machine is expected to roll into Pratt & Whitney’s Middletown assembly plant on ...

Innovations in Friction Welding benefit a host of industries. Seeking new ways of improving production, focusing on driving quality for cost effective solutions; David Hoel from American Friction ...

You’d think writing for Hackaday means we probably don’t get surprised very often by projects… but then we see something we never thought was possible — in this case, the linear friction welding of ...

THE world’s largest linear friction welding machine, which has been built in the Black Country, is to play a major role in a new research project, which will look at ways of boosting the production of ...

• The process is completed in a few seconds with very high reproducibility - an essential requirement for a mass production industry. Now, a new variant from the same stable of friction processes, ...
