Productivity

An orbital welder drastically outperforms manual welding, running approximately 2-3 times the speed of a hand weld. These will often pay for their own cost in the duration of a single job.

Consistency

Once a weld procedure has been selected, an orbital welding system can repeatedly perform the same weld hundreds of times, eradicating the normal inconsistencies and variability, errors and other defects associated with manual welding.

Weld Quality

The quality achieved by orbital welding is second to none. Orbital welding is often a requirement where weld quality is paramount, for example in pharmaceutical applications.

 These machines also make it possible for inexperienced welders and apprentices to produce reliable and fine quality welds.

Skill Level

In the current generation, skilled certified welders are increasingly hard to find. With orbital welders, you don’t require a certified welding operator – a basic human being can operate these machines with ease.

 Versatility

Orbital welding can be used in many areas where it is not possible or practical to complete a full rotational manual weld. Weld heads are a very compact system and are able to be used in pipe racks, up to 17.5 meters away from the actual power source!
