Latest Patents
Beresford holds a patent for a friction welding apparatus. This invention addresses the challenges associated with the substantial inertial loads that occur during friction welding operations. The proposed inertial load cancelling system utilizes a double acting gas spring arrangement, which is coupled to the welding oscillator output. This design allows the work done to overcome the inertia of the apparatus to be returned to the system when the oscillator motion is reversed at the ends of each stroke. Consequently, after the initial system input, the oscillator only needs to supply work to overcome internal friction and the heat generated at the weld joint interface.
