Automation or automating certain processes in industries has created competitive environment among the industries. Owing to the current scenario, parent processes for manufacturing of components need to be change. In many industries, despite of availability of resources same traditional approach of manufacturing is opted. The emphasize is given on reducing cycle time so as to improve productivity and also to reduce cost of manufacturing. Improvements are carried upon Friction Stir Welding Machine. This modification has generally reduced cycle time, enhance production and reduced cost of processes.
