Dual welding heads for hot water
cylinders
Orbimatic, the manufacturer of leading orbital TIG welding equipment, have assisted a market leading manufacturer of stainless steel hot water cylinders to cope with a massive upturn in production.
Orbimatic (UK) Limited, the manufacturer of technology leading orbital TIG welding equipment, have assisted a market leading manufacturer of stainless steel hot water cylinders in coping with a massive upturn in production Two Orbimatic orbital welding systems each with twin switching units and two weld heads have been introduced to help with the production for the welding of bosses to heating coils, fittings to inlet tubes, fittings to overflow pipes and for the welding of bosses for thermostat and immersion heater coils to the side of the cylinder

Two welding heads are more efficient than one
The Orbitwin allows the connection of two Orbital Welding heads to one Orbital Welding Power Source, to achieve high rate production tube welding.
Each system consisted of an Orbimat 165CB computerised power supply, Orbitwin dual weld head switching unit and two Orbiweld 76S Weld Heads.
Both systems are used in a high production mode and were selected to give maximum output.
The use of the Orbitwin switching unit allows two different weld configurations to be welded simultaneously and eliminates the need for frequent tool changes.
The Orbitwin can be configured with two completely different weld procedures and detects which weld head is being activated, it then transfers all services to that weld head and selects the appropriate weld procedure.
The Orbitwin has been the key to maximising the production levels as one weld head can be unloaded/loaded while the other one is welding.
This way the system gives maximum efficiency as the power supply will be working continuously.
