Orbitec's expertise in design and consultancy also provides a unique approach to the design of special weld heads and modifications to suit customer-specific applications.

• IBW Weld Heads
• Application Engineering

Orbitec offer a selection of Inverter based power supplies that can be used with all of our Orbital Welding Controllers, each model provides a practical option to suit your budget and project requirements providing a highly flexible combination of system options unique to Orbitec, all can be used for both Orbital TIG and manual TIG/MMA capability.

Enclosed Weld Heads provide complete inert gas protection of the full weld bead circumference (an industry requirement for producing welded joints in electro-polished and hygienic applications). Collets are required for each tube diameter to be welded.

‘Fusion’ applications only, filler wire cannot be used with these heads. Welding will be made after preparation of the tube ends to provide a flat, square face. During welding the weld head remains static, only the rotor carrying the electrode rotates in an ‘orbital’ motion around the tube.

Our range of OSK weld heads are unique in design, the cable and handle/motor assembly is separate from the weld head itself, so one handle assembly can run a variety of different sized weld heads. This concept provides significant cost savings on multiple weld head systems and unmatched flexibility using the same weld heads on different manufacturers´ power supplies.

Orbitec offer a choice of 2 external wire feed units depending on your preferred spool size. Both units can be used with the OSW and OSZ range of open frame weld heads and the Turn 300 and TT115 Turn Table systems.

The normal wire size for Orbital welding is 0.8mm dia. and precision layer wound is preferred over random wound. 

Orbitec supply a range of cutting blocks for cutting into pipework where power tools cannot be used. The cutting blocks are made from hardened steel and privide a guide for tube cutting with a hacksaw, the resultant cut can be suitable for orbital welding after minimal deburring and cleaning. However, facing of the tube end with a suitable tube squarer is always recommended for ensuring a high quality orbital weld.

• Quick lock system
• Easy to use
• Flexible use on site

Precise purging is essential for controlling weld quality, particularly when welding high-alloy, corrosion-resistant materials that are highly sensitive to oxygen in the welding process.

Our oxygen analysers can be connected to the Tigtronic Orbital and Integral Controllers for monitoring ID Purge quality as part of the programmed weld schedule parameters, values measured during welding will also be recorded as part of the weld data recording facility.

The maximum oxygen value (in ppm) is entered in the controller (typically 20-30ppm). Welding will not commence until the measured value drops below the programmed threshold. Since oxidation starts at around 30ppm analysers with values displayed as a percentage are not recommended (i.e. 0.1% = 1,000ppm).

Orbitec manufacture 2 models of oxygen analysers, the Oxy-2 and the Oxy-Integral with a selection of accessories and consumables.
