Orbital system from Red-D-Arc makes welding of small pipes easier

The Axxair Orbital Fusion Closed Welding Head, available from Red-D-Arc Welderentals

As a top Canadian supplier of industrial welding products, Red-D-Arc Welderentals knows how difficult it can be to weld small-diameter tubing. It takes an expert welder to manipulate the torch precisely and reach out-of-position areas, and some assemblies cannot be rotated if the latter is impossible. As a mechanized solution for small-diameter components, the company offers the Axxair Orbital Fusion Closed Welding Head System.

Useful in many different industries

This orbital welding system by Axxair is recommended for use in many different industries. For example, aerospace workers often work with small welded assemblies made out of titanium and other exotic materials, and this system can prevent oxidation of the material. In oil and gas, tubing needs to be welded together to transport fluids in large assemblies that cannot rotate. Nuclear power requires high-quality welding, which this system achieves consistently.

One of the system’s two components, the Axxair Orbital Fusion Closed Welding Head, fully encompasses the assembly being welded, which prevents the risk of oxidization that may occur in tasks with only gas nozzles. This welding head also includes a ring drive that allows 360-degree motion around weld joints without affecting the torch angle; the head can even exceed full rotation for applications requiring slope-in and slope-out parameters.

The welding head is available in three models to accommodate different diameters, ranging from ¼ of an inch to 4.5 inches. Red-D-Arc can also supply different-sized clamping jaws to insert into the head to ensure proper clamping and adequate shielding gas coverage.

The second component of this Axxair system is the SAXX-200EDGI Orbital Fusion Closed Welding Inverter Power Supply. This delivers electrical energy required for welding tasks, through the welding head and out the tungsten electrode. The power supply features a 7.5-inch colour touchscreen that enables outstanding human-machine interfacing; users can enter diameter, material type, thickness, and other application specifics.

The Axxair Closed Welding System offers major advantages for any industries and applications that involve small-diameter tubing. If skilled welding labour is not available, consistency is a priority, and quality is essential, this system is a great choice.
