How to achieve a new and clean process line
When planning an installation of a new stainless steel process pipe line it is important to understand the importance of using the best materials and techniques to ensure it is clean when installed.
The P16M is supplied by Orbimatic and can be controlled by the Orbimat 250C orbital welding power supply which will control the whole welding cycle.
The Orbimat 250C power supply can supply up to 2000 welding procedures which include applications details such as tungsten type geometry, arc gap and material types.
The Orbimat 250 also checks the welding parameters to two decimal places 500 times per second and adjusts as and when necessary to ensure repeatable welds are produced.
The P16M has and onboard wire feed unit which rotates with the weld head to avoid distortion of the filler wire and the arc gap is controlled by a voltage sensor which is integrated into the Orbimat 250C.
The weld torch and head body are both water-cooled.
This ensures consistent weld profiles are produced when used in production applications.
For more basic applications Orbimatic can provide the P20 weld head which is a simplified version of the P16M.
