About raiser
Klaus Raiser GmbH & Co. KG, based in Eberdingen (Baden-Württemberg), specialises in friction welding. Since 1974, the company has produced friction-welded components as a contract manufacturer – with a focus on rotary friction welding, complemented by linear friction welding and Friction Stir Welding (FSW). The process expertise accumulated across millions of welded joints flows directly into the company's own machine building: raiser designs and builds friction welding machines such as the HRF 1000 (1,000 kN upset force, friction surfaces up to 8,000 mm²), the slant-bed machine HRS 200 (200 kN) and the vertical machine VR 30 for fully automated processes. The machines are designed to customers' components, materials and cycle times, manufactured in Eberdingen and commissioned at the customer's site. In addition to contract manufacturing and machine building, the company offers consulting on friction welding processes and assessment of the friction weldability of components based on drawings.
