We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Weld Heads",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Orbital welding power source is easy to use from
Swagelok, which we summarised at the time by saying "Orbital welding 200A, 23kg power source has a colour industrial touch screen that gives users a simple, intuitive pathway to enter orbital welding programs".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Gas-cooled orbital weld head is 41.5mm wide from
Orbitec: "Capable of welding tube of 114.3mm diameter, a narrow,gas-cooled welding head is just 41.5mm wide and offers a high duty cycle performance equivalent to that of water-cooled heads".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Festo
concerning its Electrical and pneumatic actuators
- take a look at Actuators ensure high accuracy assembly
which says: "An automated assembly system designed to fabricate miniature sensor modules makes extensive use of electrical and pneumatic actuators to ensure high accuracy assembly and precision micro welding".
Take a look also at the news release from Universal Balancing, Four-plane balancing machines introduced,
as well as Fork to tube welding times reduced from Orbimatic,
and Orbital TIG supplier helps fabricator meet EU regs from Orbimatic.
