Electronics - Mazak MegaStir

The nature of the electronics industry is always to improve and evolve to control costs and integrate the new technology that empowers that constant change. And for that reason, it continues to be a leader in developing Friction Stir Welding applications. Mazak MegaStir has supported customers in this market segment on FSW operations on materials from 0.030" to 0.5" in thickness.

Friction Stir Welding provides unique process characteristics that are unlike any other joining process:

Low heat input yields virtually no distortion on assemblies, which minimizes the need for post-weld cleanup or machining

Low heat input also eliminates heat exposure to internal components that might be sensitive to elevated temperatures

Through the combination of subtractive and joining technologies in a single machine tool platform, manufacturers can maximize floor space and achieve highly efficient single-setup operations
