An Orbimatic product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Jun 11, 2003

An AC/DC orbital aluminium welding power supply allows the AC balance and frequency to be controlled, which gives the ability to manipulate the weld bead profile to suit the application.

Orbimatic has introduced an AC/DC Welding Power Supply to the Orbimat range of orbital welding equipment.

This unit can weld with either AC or DC and allows the orbital technique to be used for welding of aluminium components.

This machine gives all the advantages of the Orbimat C range but with the addition of an AC output.

The machine also allows the AC balance and frequency to be controlled which gives the operator the ability to manipulate the weld bead profile to suit the application.

The Orbimat 300 AC can be used with any weld head from the Orbimatic range which gives capabilities from 1.6mm OD to over 250mm OD.

The machines were originally introduced to a customer in Spain and have been an overwhelming success with the customer having placed several repeat orders.

These units have also been introduced to the aerospace industry where they are being used for welding a range of different components.
