What is Orbital Welding?
Orbital welding involves the rotation of the welding tool around a stationary workpiece, such as a pipe or tube. Orbital welding delivers precision and consistency surpassing traditional manual methods. For high-purity tube welding applications, GTAW orbital welding is a popular choice. The system is made up of two key components, the power source and the enclosed orbital weld head. The welding parameters are set on the power source, while the weld head rotates a tungsten electrode and the electric arc around the weld joint for flawless outcomes.
What are the Benefits of Orbital Welding?
Orbital welding ensures top-quality, pure welds, ideal for applications prioritizing hygiene. The automated process guarantees consistent and repeatable welds, enhancing overall productivity by minimizing rework and material costs.
What are the Common Applications of Orbital Welding?
Orbital welding serves a critical role across industries. In aerospace, it ensures the structural integrity of components like fuel lines. Pharmaceutical manufacturing relies on orbital welding for hygienic, regulatory-compliant welds on stainless steel piping systems. In the food and beverage sector, it creates sanitary welds, preserving production integrity. Additionally, the semiconductor industry benefits from orbital welding's role in producing ultra-clean welds for critical components in semiconductor manufacturing.
