Our 13th Low Force friction welder recently left our machine build facility in Kingswinford! Currently, there are 12 Low Force machines in production welding dual-wall Steel pistons for a prominent automotive supplier.
These machines are vertically designed and fully automated using robots, decreasing the machine footprint and manual labour needed. For our customer, Low Force provided an improved piston design with reduced compression heights, improved cooling galleries, and oil flow based on the minimised flash morphology. You can read more about the process in our case study.
Take a look at the Low Force friction welding machine in action:
