Precision for
Aerospace

In aerospace, every joint matters. Especially for large-format aluminium structures such as tank segments, bulkheads, domes and cylinder segments, weld seam quality, material integrity and reproducible process control are critical to the performance of safety-critical components.

HAGE develops highly specialized FSW systems and manufacturing systems for demanding aerospace applications. The focus is on friction stir welding of large-format aluminium structures — including FSW process development, process optimization, clamping concept, welding strategy, system automation and quality assurance.

From initial process validation and optimization of welding parameters to the automated production system, HAGE supports manufacturers and suppliers in implementing complex FSW manufacturing processes. This results in system solutions that are precisely matched to material, component geometry, seam path and industrial series production requirements.
