Friction welding trial production and evaluation

Prototype and Sample Production

Izumi offers trial production and evaluation, as well as samples to allow customers to gather data on research and development, manufacturing process improvements, and mass-production studies, as well as to help make decisions on machine adoption. In response to complex issues such as handling unknown special materials or requests for high quality, we are able to deal with a wide range of requirements using our extensive range of small to large test machines.

Friction Welding Test Machines

In response to requests for pressure welding of special materials, or for higher joint quality, Izumi can produce prototypes and samples using our extensive range of small to large test machines, as well as with a wealth of data backed up by our experience. Furthermore, we are improving friction welding machine reliability through extensive research such as applying electronics and evaluating new technologies.
