Features and Advantages

• Heat Exchanger Specialization (HX): Ideally suited for welding pre-assembled elbows in tight tube bundles where conventional heads cannot be placed.

• Time and Repair Savings: Allows all elbows to be fully assembled on the tube sheet before welding begins, contrasting with the traditional "assemble-weld" method from the center outwards. This also ensures simple and cost-effective repair, as only one elbow needs to be replaced in case of a defect.

• Automatic Pneumatic Clamping: Patented piston fixation ensures fast, easy, and self-clamping pipe fixation, saving up to $80\%$ of preparation time.

• High Weld Quality: The closed design and continuous process guarantee the best welding results, no annealing colors, and eliminate the need for pickling or passivation.

• Reliability and Durability: The liquid-cooled rotor housing ensures high load resistance and longevity.

• Ease of Operation: The head is automatically recognized by the Orbitalum power source, allowing even semi-skilled personnel to achieve optimal results.

• Welding Versatility: Welding is possible in horizontal, side, and inclined positions.

• Convenience: All connections (current, gas, cooling liquid) are integrated into the head, unlike cumbersome open systems.

• Electrode Adjustment: Features an external device for adjusting the electrode position.

Standard Equipment

• Orbitalum HX 16P orbital weld head with liquid-cooled rotor housing.

• Patented pneumatic fixation system (self-clamping piston).

• Flexible hose pack with a length of $7.5\text{ m}$ and integrated connections.

• External fitting for electrode position adjustment.

• Tool kit and transport case.

Options

• Clamping Inserts: Available for precise clamping of pipes across the entire $\mathbf{OD}$ range ($15.0-16.8\text{ mm}$).

• Pneumatics Box: Separate module for pneumatic control, requiring an inlet pressure of $8\text{ bar}$ (Argon).

• Tungsten electrodes with a diameter of $1.6\text{ mm}$.

• Balancing system for suspension.
