Friction Stir Welding (FSW) joins workpieces using a rotating special tool without the need for filler materials. The resulting frictional heat makes the material malleable without melting it, creating a homogeneous, high-strength joint as it cools. The process is particularly suitable for lightweight construction and is used in industries such as rail, aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, and plant engineering.

During virtual commissioning, a digital twin of the system is created already in the development phase, realistically simulating the behavior of the real system. This allows the interaction of mechanics, electronics, control systems, and software to be tested at an early stage, helping to avoid planning errors and significantly reduce costs and commissioning times — especially for complex systems as well as extensions and retrofit projects.

Since 1982, HAGE has been providing contract manufacturing services for sophisticated and complex mechanical components. Comprehensive manufacturing expertise and a state-of-the-art machine park guarantee first-class quality. Our experienced employees produce everything from individual parts to small and large production series with component lengths of up to 20 meters. HAGE is, of course, ISO-certified.
