From July 5 to 8, the 18th Shanghai International Automotive Manufacturing Technology & Equipment & Materials Exhibition (AMTS) grandly opened at Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Aerospace Engineering Equipment (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (AEE) showcased its new products in the Welding & Joining Engineering Pavilion, presenting a full range of friction stir welding (FSW) solutions tailored for the automotive industry.

Expanding Intelligent Manufacturing Capabilities — Cantilever Dual-station FSW Equipment Debuts for the First Time
 

Independently developed by AEE, the cantilever dual-station FSW equipment is designed to meet the demands for automated, intelligent and flexible production of automotive battery trays. Optimized for guaranteed weld quality and welding speed, it adopts an innovative structural layout to accommodate diversified product requirements. The equipment drew crowds of professionals and visitors at the exhibition for on-site visits, technical exchanges and business negotiations.
 

• Featuring a cantilever structure and symmetric dual-station layout, the equipment switches welding stations via horizontal movement of the crossbeam. It occupies less floor space with high site utilization, and the four-guide-rail base ensures excellent structural rigidity.
• Equipped with a high-rigidity high-torque mechanical spindle, it can be further integrated with constant pressure control, laser weld seam tracking, automatic tool setting at starting points, and welding data collection & extraction functions.
• It supports extended configurations including dual spindles at the same station and multi-station & multi-crossbeam layouts. The modular tooling platform enables easy connection with robots and smooth production line integration, covering products such as new energy vehicle battery trays, cooling plates and electric control boxes.

 
Innovation for Customer Success — FSW Specimens & Welding Tools Demonstrate Core Strength
 

Driven by the rapid growth of the new energy vehicle industry, friction stir welding, as an advanced solid-state joining technology, has been widely applied to empower industrial development. AEE has developed a complete lineup of FSW equipment, facilitating lightweight and eco-friendly production of automotive electric control boxes, water-cooled motor housings and cast battery trays. At the exhibition booth, AEE displayed welding tools for aluminum alloys of different thicknesses and structures, as well as FSW specimens including 3D electric control boxes, three-in-one motor housings and battery trays for new energy vehicles, helping visitors gain in-depth understanding of FSW and its automotive applications.

Professional Service & Vibrant Interaction — In-depth Communication with Clients
 

During the exhibition, AEE's team delivered professional and enthusiastic explanations to every visitor and peer, building closer partnerships with clients and enabling them to experience our technologies and services intuitively both online and offline. AEE won high recognition from industry professionals and long-term partners, and we sincerely appreciate all guests for visiting our booth. Besides product displays, interactive lucky draw activities with customized AEE gifts were held, creating a lively atmosphere at the site.
 

The four-day exhibition concluded successfully. We conducted in-depth exchanges with partners across the automotive industry and achieved fruitful results. Thank you for visiting our booth and for your continuous support and trust. Going forward, AEE will keep focusing on technological R&D, product quality and service improvement, and deliver reliable FSW solutions to fuel the vigorous development of China's automotive industry.
