What is
Orbital welding
Orbital welding is a specialised arc welding process whereby tubes or pipes are secured as the electrode orbits around the object to form the weld.
In the orbital welding process, tubes/pipes are clamped in place and an orbital weldhead rotates an electrode and electric arc around the weld joint to make the required weld. An orbital welding system consists of a power supply and an orbital weldhead.
​
Automated systems in the orbital welding process have significantly reduced the time it takes to finish a weld when compared to traditional methods. Welders can achieve quality welds at a higher volume, which means that overall lead times have also decreased.
​
Efficiency and Productivity is key.
Different weldheads available, including the size range we can weld with each:
Orbiweld 17 Micro weld head
Tube OD: 0.188” - 0.677”
Orbiweld 19 Micro weld head
Tube OD: 0.250” - 0.750”
Orbiweld 76s
Tube OD: 0.50” - 3.00”
Orbiweld 115s
Tube OD: 1.00” - 4.50”
Pipe Fitting
We supply qualified pipe fitters to cover many different aspects of fitting, some listed below:
High Purity Tube which involves extreme levels of cleanliness whilst bending and cutting, using a tube cutter followed by facing (squaring off the end of the tube), using a facing tool to prep the tube before welding.
​
Schedule stainless pipe of various grades which involves cutting and prepping with an angle grinder to the desired spec of the job.
​
Carbon Pipe which can also be cut and prepped to specific specs for welding, using an angle grinder. If you require threaded fitting, this can also be accommodated by using a Pipe threader.
​
All of the above can also be cut to accurate lengths by using a GF Saw.
