The term Orbital-Welding is based on the Latin word ORBIS = circle. This has been adopted primarily by aerospace and used in terms of Orbit (n.) or Orbital (adj.) for the trajectory of a man-made or natural satellite or around a celestial body.

The combination Orbital and Welding specifies a process by which an arc travels circumferentially around a work piece (usually a tube or pipe).

The concept Orbital Welding is basically a loosely defined term that is usually used for processed only, where the arc is travels at least 360 degrees around the work piece without interruption.

Consequently, processes, which interrupt the full 360-weld sequence such as for better puddle control (often used for MIG/MAG welding, using the down-hand welding sequence in 2 half-circles), can not truly be called orbital welding.

• Maintenance friendly with PSS (Pro-Service-System)
• Total weight only 35 kg

In-handle integrated remote control

• Quick-change system for collets
• High duty cycle through highly efficient water cooling
• Collets for nearly all standard elbows and fittings

the closed chamber orbiweld heads are available in 3 different sizes:

• Orbiweld 65 for tube o. D. 6 – 70 mm
• Orbiweld 115 for tube o. D. 20 – 115 mm
• Orbiweld 170 for tube o. D. 50 – 170 mm 

Totally enclosed, extra thin orbital tube welding heads yet with extremly high duty cycle because of powerful water cooling.
Because of its extremly small dimensions, the ORBIWELD S series is the perfect solution for applications with tight access restricitons frequently found in pharmaceutical sand similar areas.
These models include all the other features ot the ORBIWELD range of totally enclosed tube weld heads such as the:

• Quick change collet system
• Remote controls in the handle of the welding head
• Collets for all common fittings and elbows
