At MTI, our Friction Welding machine bases are designed with a hollow-base configuration. This design feature serves to effectively manage flash, chips, or debris produced during the flash removal process. As the flash is removed, any cut or sheared debris naturally falls away from the welded component, keeping the quality unaffected.
The debris descends through a cut-out located within the machine base, where it is then collected by a chip conveyor positioned within the base. This conveyor efficiently transports the fallen debris to a waste bin located away from the machine area.
By incorporating this configuration into our machine bases, we effectively prevent the accumulation of chips or debris on the machine base or rails, all while maintaining the required strength and durability of the base.
This method significantly reduces the need for manual maintenance to remove debris, thus streamlining operational efficiency.
