Model 96 - Self-Supporting Tube-to-Tubesheet TIG Weld Head

Product catalog summary

Overview of Orbital Welding Equipment
The document provides detailed information about the Model 96, a compact, automated weld head designed for high-speed, high-production autogenous welding of tubes to tubesheet using the GTAW (TIG) welding process. It highlights the equipment's ability to weld without filler wire, utilizing pulsed-current welding and synchronized torch rotation.

Key Features

Welds on flush, slightly recessed, or slightly projected surfaces.
Servo-controlled rotation and pneumatic mandrel operation.
Transparent or opaque purge chamber for superior shielding, especially for materials like titanium.
Self-supporting on tubesheet with complete inert gas coverage.
Operates in any position, including overhead, with a one-button operation for quick mounting and dismounting.
Water-cooled weld head.

Model 96 - Self-Supporting Tube-to-Tubesheet TIG Weld Head-1

The widest range of orbital welding equipment in the world The Model 96 is a compact, automated weld head designed for high-speed, high-production autogenous welding of tubes to tubesheet. Welds made with the Model 96, utilizing the GTAW (TIG) welding process, can pass the most rigid specifications. The weld head is held in place on the tube to be welded by an expanding mandrel. This mandrel is actuated by a single button, conveniently located on the handle. Actuation of the mandrel holds the weld head firmly to the tubesheet and positions the torch concentric to the tube to be welded. The Model 96 features a completely enclosed purge chamber. The gas chamber eliminates the use of gas cups and provides superior shielding for materials which oxidize easily, such as titanium. FEATURES Welds on flush, slightly recessed or slightly projected without the use of filler wire. Pulsed-current welding, and synchronized torch rotation. Servo-controlled rotation. Pneumatic mandrel operation. Self-supporting on tubesheet. Complete coverage of weld area with inert gas. Welds in any position, including overhead. One-button operation, quick mount and dismount. Water-cooled weld head. Transparent or opaque purge chamber. Tube Size Range Weld Current 0.375” ID (9,525 mm) (min.) 1.87” ID (47,498 mm), 2.0” OD (50,8 mm) (max.)
