Robotic Orbital Welding

Orbital Welding is the process of welding in a circular path. Used primarily for tubes and piping, orbital welding is known for creating a smooth and uniform weld.
 
It is hard to achieve good orbital welding results by hand since it requires a continuous 360 degree weld. Because of this, orbital welding is best when automated. Robots are able to weld circular parts with easy and speed. They are more precise and less susceptible to mistakes. Contact RobotWorx for all your robotic orbital welding needs at 740-383-8383.
 
The Benefits of Orbital Welding Robots:
  • Improved welding quality - More consistency is possible with robots.
  • Increased welding speed - Circular weldments are faster and more efficient.
  • Reduced scrap and rework costs - Robots make fewer mistakes and perform perfectly each time.
  • Lower production costs - Automation is cheaper than multiple skilled welders or inevitable training time.
  • Quick throughput - With robots it's possible to produce more high quality parts.
Orbital welding is used when joint quality is paramount. Many of the components are used in pharmaceutical, aerospace and chemical industries.

Robotic Orbital Welding Changes:
1960's: Automated orbital welding was used to seal hydraulic lines in airplanes.
1980's: Orbital welding systems became more practical and transportable.
Today: All the information is stored in the controller, allowing for multiple identical welds and resulting in few errors.
