Orbimax's automated orbital welders deliver precise, contamination-free, and repeatable results, ensuring flawless compliance and efficiency for high-purity industries.
When working with sensitive materials, weld quality is critical. Orbimax’s orbital welding machines are engineered to deliver superior, contamination-free welding results every single time. By maintaining strict control over the welding process, our automated tube welding systems ensure the flawless, high-precision joints required for high-purity stainless steel welding.
Manual pipe fitting leaves room for inconsistencies, but automated pipe welding removes the guesswork. Orbimax orbital welders provide a highly controlled process that drastically reduces human error. This guarantees consistent, repeatable weld quality on every single pass, minimising costly rework, reducing material waste, and maximizing your team's overall workshop efficiency.
Meeting strict regulatory standards is non-negotiable for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and energy sectors. Orbimax provides the reliable orbital welding equipment needed to confidently meet these rigorous industry requirements. By guaranteeing uniform and sanitary pipe welding, these systems ensure your operations remain fully compliant and your critical infrastructure stays safe.

Mobile Welder (Base): A lightweight (approx. 12 kg) power source delivering 5–180 Amps of current. It is air/gas cooled and features an 8" touchscreen, designed for on-site field use with gas-cooled weld heads. Mobile Welder OC Plus: A portable, 2-in-1 power source delivering 5–200 Amps (110V/230V). It includes a detachable liquid-cooling unit (ORBICOOL MW), digital shielding gas management, and advanced weld data logging capabilities. It features a 12.4" touchscreen and weighs approx. 18 kg. Smart Welder: A heavy-duty workshop power supply delivering 5–300 Amps of current. It requires a 400V 3-Phase input and features integrated liquid cooling, a 12.4" touchscreen, and is built for high-duty cycle prefabrication work.
The Mobile Welder OC Plus automatically records all critical welding parameters, including current, voltage, gas flow rates, travel speed, and sector timings for every weld joint. This data can be exported via LAN/WLAN to generate digital reports, ensuring compliance with strict sanitary and engineering standards (such as FDA/GMP for food/pharma or AS4041 for pressure piping).
The Mobile Welder and Mobile Welder OC Plus feature auto-sensing input voltage (110V to 230V AC) and are equipped with Active Power Factor Correction (PFC). This stabilises current draw and protects the electronics, making them safe to run on generators or long extension leads during on-site installations. The Smart Welder, however, requires a stable 400V 3-Phase workshop supply.

No. The touchscreen interface features an auto-programming assistant. The operator inputs the tube outer diameter, wall thickness, material type, and shielding gas composition. The system's built-in database then automatically generates a multi-sector weld program (detailing gas pre-purge, arc start, current slopes, sector values, and post-purge). These parameters can be manually adjusted and saved for future use.
They are compatible with the full range of Orbitalum weld heads: Enclosed Weld Heads (OWX/OW Series): Designed for high-purity, autogenous (no filler wire) tube welding. They completely seal the weld zone in an inert gas chamber to prevent oxidation. Open Weld Heads (Orbihp/Orbiweld): Designed for larger pipe sizes or joints requiring filler wire feed.
Liquid cooling is required when using liquid-cooled weld heads (typically necessary for high-duty cycle work or wall thicknesses where gas cooling cannot dissipate heat fast enough). The Smart Welder has a built-in liquid cooling unit. The Mobile Welder OC Plus achieves liquid cooling via the detachable ORBICOOL MW cooling module. For lower-duty cycles, gas-cooled weld heads can be used directly without a cooling
unit.
To prevent internal oxidation (cratered or coloured weld beads), backing gas must purge all oxygen from the pipe. Purge kits (like the Orbimax Pull-Through Purge Set) seal the weld area. Oxygen monitors (like the Purge 1000) measure oxygen down to 1 ppm (part per million). The monitor can interface directly with the Orbitalum power source to block the arc from starting until the oxygen level drops below a safe threshold (typically < 20 ppm).
Automated orbital welding eliminates operator variability by mechanically driving the TIG torch around the tube at a programmed speed while dynamically regulating the current across distinct sectors. This ensures 100% penetration and consistent bead profile on every joint.
Swagelok (M200): Often used in high-purity systems but relies on a proprietary, closed ecosystem (meaning accessories and heads are expensive and non-compatible). It also lacks the 2-in-1 manual TIG capability of the OC Plus. AMI (Arc Machines, Inc. - Model 217): A legacy workhorse, but relies on physical buttons/older interface designs and lacks the integrated touchscreen, Active PFC, and modern WLAN/LAN data management of Orbitalum systems. Axxair (SASX series): Offers similar cutting/welding options but lacks the integrated software ecosystem and intuitive auto-programming software of the Orbitalum Smart Welder platform.
