FSW System for Rocket Cylinder Segments

  • Meta (title): HAGEMATIC FSW 80
  • Einleitungstext: For the production of highly loadable cylinder segments for rocket tanks, HAGE realized an FSW system in column-type design.
  • Inhalt/Text:

    The system combines milling and friction stir welding processes in a dedicated machining head and is designed for welding forces of up to 80 kN. This enables high-strength aluminium alloys to be welded reliably.

    The system supports the precise production of tank structures for space applications and combines high process forces with controlled FSW process management.

FSW System for Rocket Tank Bulkheads

  • Meta (title): HAGEMATIC FSW 80
  • Einleitungstext: For the space industry, HAGE realized a custom, approximately 50 m long FSW system for machining and friction stir welding bulkheads for rocket tanks.
  • Inhalt/Text:

    The hemispherical aluminium workpieces, with diameters of up to 6 m, are machined and then friction stir welded to tank cylinders or domes.

    The system concept combines milling, the FSW process, 3D geometry scanning, ultrasonic testing and real-time process monitoring. Two A-gantries, RPT technology, separate pin and shoulder axes, and redundant measuring systems enable precise control of the relevant process variables for demanding aluminium structural components.
