The VRS 30 vertical friction welding machine is characterised by a large machining room paired with a small footprint. The large maintenance doors and the platform installed at half height make it easy to reach the hydraulic control block and main drive. Thanks to the sophisticated hydraulic-numerical process axis and the wide speed-load range, the machine is suitable for a wide spectrum of welding applications. Operation is intuitive and large-scale status lights indicate the respective operating status.
