The key advantage of linear friction welding is that virtually any two shapes can be joined unlike rotational friction welding which requires a circular interface between components.
The LinFric system combines the technical advantages of this process with significant improvements in capital costs, versatility and practicality, therefore opening up the potential of linear friction welding for many industry sectors.
The hydraulic oscillation system can vibrate at frequencies from 25Hz to 125Hz and amplitudes of ± 3mm which ensures a wide variety of similar and dissimilar materials can be joined. A maximum forge force of 200kN (20 tonnes) means a cross-sectional area of up to 2000mm2 can be welded.
The hydraulic system also offers the use of non-sinusoidal oscillation curves, allowing time and velocity to be customised to produce optimum performance on each job. The sophisticated PC-based control system also provides quality assessment of the weld by parameter analysis. Components for welding are held on the machine with easy-to-use hydraulic clamps.
