Product Overview

The FSW-BL3020 is engineered for manufacturers producing large-format EV battery trays, battery enclosures, and structural battery housings.

As battery systems continue to increase in size and complexity, manufacturers require welding equipment capable of maintaining dimensional accuracy, leak-proof performance, and production consistency across large aluminum assemblies.

Traditional fusion welding methods often introduce excessive heat, resulting in distortion, porosity, weld defects, and costly post-processing operations. Friction stir welding eliminates these challenges through a solid-state joining process that produces stronger, cleaner, and more reliable welds.

With its large-format gantry structure and intelligent CNC control system, the BL3020 provides a stable and efficient manufacturing solution for modern EV battery tray production.

Manufacturers looking for larger production capacity or multi-station battery pack welding systems can also explore our  large gantry friction stir welding machine solutions  for EV battery manufacturing.

Industry Challenges in EV Battery Tray Manufacturing

Manufacturers of EV battery trays and battery enclosures often face several production challenges:

  • Distortion of large aluminum trays caused by excessive welding heat

  • Leakage risks within liquid-cooled battery systems

  • High scrap rates resulting from porosity and weld defects

  • Dimensional inconsistency across oversized battery structures

  • Costly rework and post-machining requirements

  • Difficulty maintaining stable quality in mass production environments

The BL3020 addresses these challenges through precise process control, stable welding force, and repeatable weld quality.

Why Friction Stir Welding for EV Battery Trays

Battery trays serve as the foundation of modern electric vehicle battery systems. These structures must provide mechanical strength, dimensional stability, impact resistance, and long-term sealing performance.

Traditional welding methods such as MIG and TIG welding generate significant heat input, which can lead to distortion, porosity, cracking, and inconsistent weld quality. These challenges become more critical as battery trays increase in size and complexity.

Friction stir welding offers a superior solution by joining aluminum materials in a solid-state condition without melting the base material.

Compared with conventional welding methods, friction stir welding provides:

  •  Significantly lower thermal distortion

  •  Improved dimensional stability

  • Reduced porosity and weld defects

  • Superior leak-proof performance

  • Higher mechanical strength

  • Consistent weld quality across production batches

  • Reduced post-processing requirements

For EV battery tray manufacturers, friction stir welding improves both product quality and production efficiency.
