Friction welding using CFP & CFF
• Provides two handling robots and a rotary positioner
• Operation modes for automated process control:
• Fixed position workpiece –
moving process technology
• Fixed process technology –
moving workpiece
• Manual prototyping
• Joining processes:
• Process tool for FDS (Flow Drilling Screw)
fastening
• Friction welding machine using composite friction pins (CFP)
• Friction welding machines using composite
friction fasteners (CFF)
• Spot welding gun
• Further processes can be installed on demand
• Equipment for adhesive technology for manual prototyping and testing
• Joining of plane components
• The upper plate is penetrated and clamped between
the element’s head and the base plate
• Connection between light-/non-metal and highstrength steel
• Joining elements:
• CFF: element merges with base plate
(both-sided accessibility)
• CFP: penetrates both components
(one-sided accessibility
Spot welding
• LEWA-Speedgun
• X-Model
• Max. gun force: 600 daN
(350 mm length of electrode
arm)
• Practicable maximum welding
current: 16 kA for 400 ms
• Shaft speed max. 5000 r.p.m., max. axial force: 3 kN
• Temporary joints with no component preparation necessary (drilling, etc.) and with one-sided accessibility
• No material loss or chipping
• High strength even under dynamic strain
• Practicable material thickness depending on screw
type and material strength:
• Steel: 0.3…1.8 mm
• Aluminum: 0.4…5.0 mm
• Magnesium: 0.8…3.5 mm

• Two simultaneously working swivel-arm robots (each
equiped with welding torch)
• Three-axis workpiece positioner
• Heat reduced arc welding process, also for ultra-thin
bonds
• (50 % less heat input: short arc 1.96 kJ/cm,
CMT 1.12 kJ/cm)
• CMT on steel reduces process time up to 50 % (short arc Vs = 70 cm/min, CMT Vs = 150 cm/min)
• Braze welding of aluminum to steel is possible
