Tooling Solutions for FSW The Eclipse 500 Jet  TTI Develops Friction Stir Weld Tooling for the Eclipse 500 Jet The Eclipse 500 Jet is the first commercial aircraft to extensively use the Friction Stir Welding process for the airframe. The complex geometries required had never before been successfully executed with this process. TTI developed all of the tooling concepts, wrote the tooling specifications, and led the technical development of the tooling from a clean sheet of paper to completion of the first welded product. Check out the Eclipse 500 Jet Eclipse Skin and Frame in Tooling  Tooling Solutions For All Your FSW Needs TTI can provide a full range of tooling solutions, including: -Reconfigurable tools for R&D -Manually actuated tools -Fully automated tools for high rate production Partial Tooling Concept for a Proposed Spacecraft Weld Stations and Tooling for NASA's Advanced Solid Rocket Motor were Designed by Tim Haynie, Founder and President of TTI From Laboratory Systems to Launch Vehicles Tooling is one of the key areas for successful application of Friction Stir Welding technology as well as other advanced welding processes. TTI has the experience and creativity to bring success to your next tooling project. TTI can supply competitive pricing on small laboratory fixtures, or we can design and build complete tooling for the most complex projects. NASA's ASRM Weld Station
