Orbital welding is a specialized area of welding whereby the arc is rotated mechanically through 360° (180 degrees in double up welding) around a static workpiece, an object such as a pipe, in a continuous process.

Orbital welding is a technique whereby the welding tool is rotated through 360° (or 180° in double up welding) around a static workpiece.

The unique properties and benefits of orbital welding — along with processes such as Metal Inert Gas (MIG), Submerged Arc Welding (SAW), Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW), and laser beam arc welding — soon extended to industries beyond aviation.

2024年1月3日 · It is called ‘orbital’ because it facilitates welding with one machine in 360° or 180° with two machines. How Does It Work? The basic equipment that is used in the Orbital Welding process is the power supply, electronic control, welding head, and a wire feeder if the machine is set up for MIG welding.

2024年11月14日 · Orbital welding is an automated, high-precision welding process widely used in industries such as aerospace, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and semiconductor manufacturing. This technique ensures flawless, consistent welds in piping systems where quality is paramount for safety and performance.

2024年8月7日 · Orbital welding is a specialised automated welding process where the electrode rotates 360° around a secured tube or pipe, creating a continuous, precise weld.

2021年12月3日 · Orbital welding is the automatic or mechanized welding of tubes or pipe in place with an electrode rotating (or orbiting) 360 degrees around the workpiece. Orbital welding can be conducted on tube or pipe with the addition of filler material or as a fusion process.

2023年6月21日 · Orbital welding designates a mechanized welding process that allows the complete 360° rotation of the arc around the stationary workpiece. This welding option is most beneficial for pipes or tubes, where welding in different angles, positions, and clearances can present an issue.

2024年11月28日 · Orbital welding utilizes precision welding technology that brings accuracy, consistency, and clarity to any welding project. We’ll learn here what orbital welding is, how it works, and why and when to use it as a game-changer for different applications.

2023年12月13日 · Orbital welding is a specialized welding technique that uses a mechanically guided welding arc to make consistent and high-quality welds in circular or semi-circular joints. This welding technique involves rotating the welding electrode and the pipe or tube being welded, while the electrode moves along the joint.
