INNOVATORS IN FRICTION WELDING

FLASH REMOVAL

Integral flash removal within the production sequenceenhances the productivity of Thompson friction welding machines, reducing component handling and minimising production costs.The turning method of flash removal is widely used and isavailable as single or double axis hydraulically driven or as a dual axis a/c servo motor programmable system.It can be used for one or both of the following functions: To face or turn the surface of the component prior to friction welding.To remove flash after friction welding and, at the same time, achieve finished dimensions and profile.
