STIRWELD FSW EQUIPMENT

Friction Stir Welding Technology Equipment

At Stirweld, we make Friction Stir Welding (FSW) accessible to all manufacturers. Our equipment adapts to your existing CNC or robotic setup, helping you achieve stronger, cleaner and more reliable welds — while saving time and reducing costs.

FSW Machines: Heads for CNC and Robotic Spindles

Retrofitting your CNC or robot with FSW has never been easier. Stirweld offers advanced heads designed to integrate seamlessly with both standard machining centers and robotic spindles, unlocking the full potential of your production line. Our FSW heads allow you to weld a wide variety of materials and geometries with superior mechanical strength and zero porosity. By eliminating the need for costly dedicated machines, Stirweld ensures a cost-effective path to innovation, enabling rapid prototyping, small-series manufacturing and large-scale production. With our robust technology, you benefit from greater flexibility, reduced cycle times and improved product performance.

FSW Accessories: Optimize and Enhance Your Welding Process

Friction Stir Welding performance doesn’t depend only on heads and tools — the right accessories can make a decisive difference in daily operations. At Stirweld, we design add-ons that integrate seamlessly with your equipment to improve productivity, minimize downtime and ensure consistent weld quality. These accessories extend the capabilities of your CNC or robotic setup, making it easier to switch between tasks, maintain stable parameters and adapt quickly to different production needs. By combining automation, monitoring and robustness, they provide the extra layer of efficiency that keeps your process running smoothly.

From automatic head changers that speed up transitions, to milling add-ons for cleaner finishes and smart tool holders with temperature monitoring, each accessory plays a key role in boosting quality and productivity. Combined with our robust standard holders, they give you the flexibility to adapt your equipment to any production need.

They Trust Us

Companies of all sizes trust Stirweld to integrate Friction Stir Welding into their production. Here are just a few examples. Discover their experience in their own words:

“FSW technology has the possibility that, when you weld, you don’t degrade the material as other process or other joining technologies. The main advantage that we see at Stirweld is the intercompability and the flexibility that the head provides us compared with a dedicated machine.”

Mario A. Solís

R&D Engineer

“With Stirweld’s Friction Stir Welding technology, we achieved better sealing and shorter production lead times. This innovation opened new opportunities and enabled us to deliver more advanced solutions. We place full trust in this long-term partnership.”

Robert Glemot

CEO

“Thanks to Stirweld FSW Technology, we can weld whatever application size we want on CNC machine. FSW gives a really good static outcome without any other operations needed. With this innovative solution, we can now diversify our operations at a very low cost and very efficiently.”

John Erian

Production manager

“At Calip, we use Friction Stir Welding for three main reasons: sealing, as it provides the only reliable solution for our clients’ challenges; mechanical strength, essential for large profiles; and repeatability, which guarantees consistent quality across welds.”
