Orbital Tig Welding

Modern TIG welding system with Micro processor controlled precise welding solutions that store welding schedules in memory. The skills of a certified welder are thus built into the system, enabling the production of enormous numbers of identical welds and leaving little room for error or defects.

Orbital welding was firstly found use in the 1960’s when the aerospace industry recognized the need for a superior joining technique for aircraft hydraulic lines. The solution: a mechanism to rotate a welding arc from a tungsten electrode around a tube-weld joint. Regulating weld current with a control system automated the entire process. The result was a more precise, reliable method than manual welding.

Orbital welding became practically viable for many industries in the early 1980’s such as Aerospace, Boiler’s, Food, Dairy & beverage Industries, Nuclear Piping, Pharmaceutical, Semiconductor applications where the weld quality is extremely un-comprisable. With the development of portable combination power supply & various control systems, an orbital-welding machine will drastically outperform manual welders, often enabling the fabricator to cost-justify the equipment in a single job. The quality and repeatability of welds, created by the correct weld program, will be superior to that of manual welding. In applications such as semiconductor or pharmaceutical tube welding, orbital welding is the only means to achieve the required level of weld quality and consistency. Orbital-welding equipment may be the only solution for applications where the fabricator can’t rotate the tube or pipe for welding. It also finds use where access limits the physical size of the welding device.
