JIH-CNC6500F CNC Friction Welding Machine (6,500mm) | JIH-I, Taichung, Taiwan

The JIH-CNC6500F is a CNC friction welding machine that joins two workpieces using heat generated by mechanical friction, combined with pressure. The base material stays solid throughout, so there is no melting and no filler wire or inert gas is needed. The result is a high-strength weld, and the process is particularly effective for heat-treated aluminium alloys.

Because the process uses low heat input, it avoids common welding defects such as pores and cracks, and it can weld in all positions. It also produces no splatter, smoke, or harmful arc radiation such as infrared or ultraviolet, which JIH-I describes as a green, environmentally friendly welding method. The machine uses stirring kinetic energy, which makes the process efficient and energy-saving.

The machine is a large-format model with a 6,500mm X axis (other working lengths available as an option). JIH-I lists concrete formwork as an applicable industry, alongside aviation parts, automotive work, 3C products, and busways.

Why Choose Friction Welding?

Conventional arc welding of aluminium needs wire and shielding gas, and produces fume and sparks. Friction welding removes most of that.

• No consumables. No filler wire or inert gas is required.
• Cleaner and safer. No splatter, smoke, or harmful radiation from the arc.
• Stronger joints in aluminium. The base material stays solid, which improves joint strength, particularly in heat-treated aluminium alloys.
• Fewer defects. Low heat input helps avoid pores and cracks.
• Energy-saving. The process runs on stirring kinetic energy rather than arc power.

For formwork manufacturers, the 6,500mm working length suits long aluminium formwork profiles in a single pass.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can it weld?
Aluminium and copper.

Does it need welding wire or shielding gas?
No. Friction welding needs no filler wire or inert gas.

What is the working length?
6,500mm on the X axis, with other working lengths available as an option. The Y axis is 600mm and the Z axis is 200mm.

Is it safe and clean to run?
There is no splatter, smoke, or harmful infrared or ultraviolet radiation from an arc, which is why JIH-I calls it an environmentally friendly welding method.

How heavy is the machine and what space does it need?
The machine measures 8,910 × 2,020 × 2,680mm and weighs 15,000 to 18,000kg, so plan for a strong, level floor and crane or forklift access.

What formwork use does it suit?
JIH-I lists concrete formwork as an applicable industry, and the 6,500mm working length suits long aluminium formwork profiles.

Is financing or staged payment available?
Yes. A deposit secures your order and begins production, with the remaining balance due only once your machine has been built, inspected, and is ready to ship.

Should I buy new or used?
This model is available new, from a manufacturer that has built aluminium processing machinery since 1971.
