Orbital Welding
Where orbital welding is used
Orbital welding is commonly used in the following market sectors:
- Pharmaceutical industry
- High-purity water installations
- Laboratory and instrumentation
- Petrochemical industry
- Biotechnology industry
While orbital welding allows us to achieve X-ray standard, crevice-free welds on tube, pipe and fittings with relative ease, the process requires a high level of skill and quality control, especially in the preparation of materials and the alignment of tube.
Orbital welding workstations
We have four workstations using orbital welding equipment from Orbitalum, allowing us to autogenously butt weld small to medium diameter piping. The small dimensions of the enclosed Orbiweld S weld heads make them ideal where space is limited, as is often the case in the subsea, pharmaceutical and similar application sectors. The narrow design of the Orbiweld weld heads means parts with short straight welding lengths can also be processed.
In addition to our closed weld heads, we have one welding station equipped with an Orbiweld TP 250 open weld head with a cold wire feeder.
