Arc voltage control module made for orbital welds
Orbital welding power supply can now be supplied with an arc voltage control module, which allows the unit to be used with the a new tube to tubesheet weld head.
The OrbiLine system uses an internal clamping mandrel which has a range of individual fingers which when expanded automatically align the parts being welded.
A range of accessories allow the system to be used to clamp up inside ling lengths of tube and pipe.
Also designed into the clamping head is a series of holes which are used to distribute a backing gas to the weld joint area.
As the gas is being applied directly to the joint area purging times are drastically reduced, as is gas usage.
When the welding cycle is complete the OrbiLine is un-clamped and extracted from the tube.
Once the cycle has finished the clamping system returns to its original size which allows it to pass the weld even when an internal weld bead is achieved.
