Friction Spin-Welding System
HK Laser & Systems will showcase the Smart Tower eight- tray material screening and loading tower with unload cart. The storage system can handle individual sheet sizes to 60 by 120
Coldwater Machine will show its automated SpinMeld friction spin-welding system, a solid-state joining technology for steels, aluminum, cast or sintered metals, carbide materials, magnesium, nickel, molybdenum and other exotic materials that normally may not be welded using other methods. The SpinMeld process is servo-controlled with a high-speed spindle bringing critical parameters
in., in thicknesses to 3⁄4 in. and weights to 1600 lb., with an exchange-cycle time for one tray of 120 sec. depending on sheet thickness. Sheet separation is accomplished via magnetic and pneumatic devices and double-sheet detection comes standard. The Smart Tower offers a vertical speed to 40 ft./min. Each tray has a storage capacity of 6000 lb. www.hk-us.com
The sys-
tems are available with automatic parts handling and inspection, or as stand-alone units. They also may be integrated into a turnkey solution. Each machine is designed to fit the individual application with customizable parameters such as rotational speed, cycle time and forging force.
