Orbital welding systems and accessories for high-purity process piping Enclosed orbital weld heads Welding stainless-steel pipes economically and with high quality using the TIG welding procedure: Unique in the entire world, HX orbital weld heads are the best solution for efficient, high-quality production thanks to their automated welding technology. Pre-mounted pipe elbows (for example in heat exchanger construction), even those in tight pipe bundles, can be joined to to small stainless-steel pipes reliably, quickly and safely. Drastically shortened welding times — under 30 seconds per pipe Up to 250 welds per head and layer preparation time is reduced by around 50% Compared to manual work, the Highly durable thanks to liquid-cooled rotor housing Horizontal, vertical and tilted welding positions are possible Very robust and ergonomic design Top-quality welding results, even with semiskilled personnel In addition to the HX 12P and HX 25P, this series also includes the HX 16P. When done by hand, the welding of pipe elbows for heat exchanger construction is an exhausting task. In addition, consistently high quality (and thus the proper sealing of all pipe elbows) on a continual basis by the welder can’t be guaranteed. This results in expensive correction work and lots of waste. While conventional heads and tongs require lots of space between the pipes for positioning, slim HX heads make it possible to build very compact heat exchangers with a high pipe density and thus a high degree of efficiency. Pipe spacings under 40 mm (1.57") are possible with the HX 12P and under 60 mm (2.36") with the HX 25P. Handling is easy, too. HX heads are opened up, placed around a pipe and clamp themselves pneumatically at the push of a button. A stop with coarse and fine adjustment aids secure positioning on the pipe. Following the startup procedure, the water-cooled head floods with argon gas and welding is carried out automatically with consistently high quality. The Orbitalum system ensures clean weld penetration with no recesses, gaps or burrs in the pipe whatsoever. Clamping and starting are activated by pressing buttons on the weld head. system. Another advantage of the system is that an operator can work with multiple weld heads at the same time, which increases production efficiency considerably. The closed welding chamber and consistent process also prevent annealing coloration from occurring, so expensive reworking such as pickling and passivation can usually be dispensed with. Top-quality welding results, even with semiskilled personnel Orbitalum welding power supplies automatically detect the connected HX head and its specified parameters in such a way that the operator need only call up the corresponding welding procedure and initiate the process prior to the start of welding. Working with the Orbitalum system is so easy and reliable that even semi-skilled operators can achieve optimum welding results. Compact design makes handling easy In contrast to open welding tongs, all connections for power, gas and cooling water are integrated into the HX head. To facilitate handling, Orbitalum heads are connected to the welding power source with a flexible 7.5 m hose. The HX 12P and HX 25P also scores with its straight design, which enables easy turning of the head at the heat exchanger. The entire unit can be suspended from a balancer to take the strain off the operator. Practice has shown that waste can be reduced from 4% to under 0.7% with the Orbitalum A BRAND OF ITW ORBITAL CUTTING & WELDING
