The GG Series Five-Axis Machine
The GG Series Friction Stir Welding (FSW) machines are the most versatile heavy-section friction stir welders on the market. Capable of welding complex contours with power, precision, and rigidity far superior to any robot. This five-axis machine has been adopted by high-speed rail system manufacturers as the ultimate solution to welding complex train bodies on a massive scale. The Gantry welding machine is available in a fixed table or largely expandable moving bridge version.
Not limited to the rail industry, you will also find Bond Technologies’ GG Series 3D welding machines being used by high-volume production manufacturers, contract welding companies, institutes of higher education, and advanced material process labs spanning the globe.
