Orbitalum TX 38P: Tube-to-Tubesheet Orbital Weld Head

Orbitalum TX 38P: Tube-to-Tubesheet Orbital Weld Head


Orbitalum TX 38P is a compact, maintenance-friendly orbital weld head for automated TIG welding of Tube-to-tube-sheet joints. It is specially designed for precise and high-productivity welding of heat exchanger tubes (e.g., for thousands of cooling tube connections). The head features pneumatic clamping, liquid cooling, and compatibility with various types of tube projection.

Features and Advantages

  • Pneumatic Clamping and Centering: Ensures precise centering and self-support of the head on the tubesheet using stable constructions of arbors and clamping segments.

    • Tube Inner Diameter (ID) Range for centering: .

  • Liquid Cooling and Reliable Current Transfer: The head body is liquid-cooled. Welding current transfer occurs via a liquid-cooled sliding contact, which eliminates the use of rotary joints and prevents leaks.

  • Welding in Any Position: Ensures precise operation in any position, guaranteeing high-quality results on horizontal or vertical tubesheets.

  • Tube Versatility: Can be used for pipes that are flush, slightly offset, or protruding.

  • Control and Precision:

    • One-Hand Control: An integrated remote control panel in the handle eliminates the need for an external remote.

    • Fast Electrode Setup: Built-in express adjustment of the electrode position to the pipe diameter.

    • Limit Switch: Features an electrode position limit switch, allowing for free selection of the start position.

  • Reliable Drive: Robust, tachometer-controlled drive motor with reducers. Continuous or pulsed rotor rotation is possible ( mode).

  • Compatibility: The head is fully compatible with all Orbitalum power sources and is automatically recognized by them.
