Orbitalum HX 12P is an Enclosed Orbital Weld Head specifically designed for the automatic TIG welding of tube elbows and straight sections in the production of compact heat exchangers with high tube density. The head performs fusion welding (TIG−Fusion) for pipes with an Outer Diameter (OD) of 9.5 mm to 13.3 mm with a revolutionary narrow design, allowing operation at a tube-to-tube distance of less than 40 mm.
Features and Advantages
Revolutionarily Narrow Design: Allows welding in very narrow tube bundles, minimizing the distance between pipes to 40 mm. This enables the creation of compact and efficient heat exchangers.
High Productivity: Significantly reduces welding time (e.g., 30 s per pipe), ensuring up to 250 welds per head per shift.
Automatic Pneumatic Clamping: The head pneumatically self-clamps onto the pipe with the push of a button, greatly accelerating and simplifying positioning.
High Weld Quality: The closed welding chamber and continuous process guarantee clean fusion without dips, gaps, or scale (no annealing colors), eliminating the need for expensive post-weld treatments like pickling or passivation.
Liquid Cooling: The liquid-cooled rotor housing ensures high load resistance and durability.
Ease of Operation: Orbitalum welding machines automatically recognize the head, allowing even semi-skilled personnel to achieve the best welding results (reducing rejection rates from 4% to less than 0.7%).
Ergonomics: The straight and compact design facilitates the rotation of the head on the heat exchanger; features the option to be suspended on a balancer.
Welding Versatility: Welding is possible in horizontal, side, and inclined positions.
Standard Equipment
Orbitalum HX 12P orbital weld head with liquid-cooled rotor housing.
Pneumatic pipe clamping mechanism (self-clamping).
Integrated button for clamping and starting the process directly on the head.
Limit Stop with coarse and fine adjustment for reliable positioning.
Flexible hose pack with a length of 7.5 m and integrated connections (current, gas, cooling).
Tool kit.
Transport case.
Options
Clamping Inserts: Available for precise clamping of pipes across the entire OD range (9.5−13.3 mm).
Pneumatics Box: Separate module for pneumatic clamping control, requiring an inlet pressure of 6 bar (Argon).
Balancing System: For relieving operator load (suspending the entire unit).
