Mazak's milling machines expand multitasking capabilities with friction stir welding tooling
As a pioneer in friction stir welding (FSW) technology, Mazak MegaStir showcased its patented high-speed Instrumented Tool Holder (ITH) for friction stir welding (FSW) during Fabtech 2025. One of the capabilities is that the tool holder can be used in Mazak HYBRID Multi-Tasking machine operations that combine subtractive processes with that of FSW assembly/joining.
