Orbital weld heads for thin stainless-steel pipes
HX Series orbital weld heads enable users to join pipe elbows to small stainless-steel pipes (for example in heat exchanger construction). The product line has now been expanded to include the HX 12P model (photo), which is specially designed for very compact fin heat exchangers with pipe diameters ranging from 9.5 to 13.3 mm. Using an automated welding technology, pre-mounted pipe elbows, even those in tight pipe bundles, can be welded reliably and quickly (in under 30 s per pipe). The HX 12P features a straight design, which enables easy turning of the head at the heat exchanger. The entire unit can be suspended from a balancer to take the strain off the operator. In addition to the HX 12P, the HX Series also includes the HX 16P for pipe diameters from 15.0 to 16.8 mm and the HX 22P for 18.0 to 22.0 mm.
