the FFTweldtec Advanced Gun For the highest demands in aluminium welding

Aluminium has become an integral part of modern vehicle production - and at the same time places special demands on joining technology. With the FFTweldtec Advanced Gun, we offer a spot welding gun that has been specially developed for aluminium components. It delivers consistently high welding currents, ensures process stability thanks to its optimised cooling and enables short cycle times - even in demanding multi-shift operation.

Thanks to its robust, weight-optimised design, the FFTweldtec Advanced Gun is perfect for robot-assisted use in large-scale production. The result: precise, reproducible spot welds and maximum productivity. With this technology, we support our customers in actively shaping the transition to electromobility and a multi-material mix - reliably, efficiently and with state-of-the-art technology.
