THE SHAPE OF ENDLESS POSSIBILITIEs
9. • 3” Circle Size or Less and 1 Lb per foot
or less.
• Minimum wall thickness of 0.010
inches
• Standard tolerance of ±0.003 inches
• Key characteristic tolerances of ±0.001
inches
THE SHAPE OF ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
• Surface finish of 32 RMs or better
• 6000 series aluminum alloys
(other alloys available upon
request)
• No minimum order/production
quantity.
10. • With this machine Taber’s capabilities will
surpass all current FSW machines in its
capabilities to FSW large double-sided
thick profiles with minimal cycles of the
machine.
• Less cycles means greater efficiency and
more precise results. Bond’s and Taber’s
engineering and manufacturing teams
collaborated at a very high level to create a
custom Linear Seam machine.
