Special-purpose machinery and FSW systems
for the aerospace industry

In the aerospace industry, every joint matters. Especially for large-scale aluminum structures such as tank segments, bulkheads, domes, and cylindrical sections, weld quality, material integrity, and reproducible process control are crucial to the structural performance of safety-critical components.

HAGE develops highly specialized FSW systems and manufacturing solutions for demanding aerospace applications. The focus is on Friction Stir Welding of large-scale aluminum structures – including FSW process development, process optimization, clamping concepts, welding strategies, system automation, and quality assurance.
