Contract R&D

The innovative FSW-technology provides our customers a multitude of product innovations. On the basis of our scientific know-how, we offer development services for specific product and process questions, such as feasibility studies, fabrication process analyses or tool development for all weldable materials and material combinations.

Prototyping & Manufacturing

We offer prototyping as an additional module in combination with Contract R&D, extending from functional models to pilot or pre-series production. Our customers benefit from our experience enabling highest quality and primarily shortest cycle times.

The FSW manufacturing service is ideal for small and medium batch sizes. This includes the development of the FSW application including tools, the required clamping technology and the preparation of the FSW machine tool used and the implementation of the FSW welding.

Customer Service & Support

Comprehensive service portfolio for maximum availability of all systems. High availability of the systems and short response times in the event of service are decisive factors for successfully operating FSW systems in series production.
We are committed to your success and that doesn’t end with the purchase of a Stirtec system. To provide you with the best possible support in every situation, no matter when and where you need our help, our Stirtec service team is at your side with advice and action.

WPS – Welding Procedure Specification

The creation of application-specific WPS (Welding Procedure Specification) is generally the responsibility of companies, that bring welded components to the market. Our service includes the support for the creation of specification-compliant WPS’s for FSW-applications.

 Qualification & Training according to ISO Standard

FSW is a welding process which is subject to internationally applicable standards and qualification and/or certification procedures. This service package offers our customers competent support and consultation with the objective of obtaining these certifications.

Machines

Based on many years of experience and knowledge gained from a large number of FSW-applications, we develop and fabricate high-quality machine tools through to fully automated and interlinked production lines which are optimally customized to the respective requirements. In all systems, high process-functionality, high system availability as well as productivity are significant development factors.
