Orbital welding system produces clean welds

An Orbimatic product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Aug 26, 2003

Orbital welding system allows fabricator to produce pipe work up to 6in in diameter with consistently clean welds and can also accommodates all popular types of valves and fittings.

Delstron Systems in Burton have utilised orbital welding equipment from Orbimatic to help bring down the delivery time of their process systems for the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.

The system allows Delstron Systems to produce pipe work up to 6in in diameter and can also accommodate all popular types of valves and fittings.

Steve Cardwell of Delstron explains "the Orbimatic system produces a consistent clean weld on the outside diameter and also gives a guarantee of a perfect profile on the inside diameter.

This eliminates the need to grind the internal weld and in turn drastically reduces the amount of abrasives and man hours needed to complete the projects".

In addition the Orbimatic systems give a complete weld data log record of all welds made on the project.

Each weld log can be recalled by weld map number or date and time.

The weld logs can be easily down loaded to a PC with the use of a standard Smart Media card.

Once in the PC the log files can be stored onto any media type or converted to a Microsoft Word file at the click of an icon using the 'Orbiport' software.

Delstron Systems now plan to utilise this technology on future projects to help reduce contract lead times and in turn offer clients a better value package.
