MTDCNC Visits KUKA Systems UK to Showcase Advanced Friction Welding Capabilities
Birmingham, UK – The MTDCNC team recently visited KUKA Systems UK at their Birmingham facility and were highly impressed by the company’s advanced Friction Stir Welding (FSW), Linear Friction Welding (LFW), and Rotary Friction Welding (RFW) capabilities.
KUKA Systems UK is one of the very few subcontracting businesses in the UK able to deliver Rotary Friction Welding services at this advanced level, supporting demanding applications across multiple high-performance industries.
In addition to their subcontract welding services, KUKA Systems UK also designs, manufactures, and sells its own Friction Stir Welding machines, which are rapidly setting new benchmarks across Europe and the United States. These machines are engineered to deliver:
- Superior process control and precision
- High-force welding capability
- Exceptional value for money
Further strengthening their technical credentials, KUKA Systems UK operates an on-site science and metallurgy laboratory, enabling detailed verification of material properties. This is particularly critical when welding dissimilar materials, ensuring quality, repeatability, and performance in every application.
The visit reinforced KUKA’s position as a leader in advanced joining technologies and highlighted that high-quality, innovative engineering remains strong and thriving in the Midlands.
The MTDCNC team thoroughly enjoyed the visit and looks forward to sharing more insights from KUKA Systems UK with the wider manufacturing community.
