OSK G-Series Weld Head located on a Tube

Enclosed Weld Heads provide complete inert gas protection of the full weld bead circumference (an industry requirement for producing welded joints in electro-polished and hygienic applications).

Collets are required for each tube diameter to be welded.

‘Fusion’ applications only, filler wire cannot be used with these heads.

Welding will be made after preparation of the tube ends to provide a flat, square face. The wall thicknesses generally are less than 3mm.

During welding the weld head remains static, only the rotor carrying the electrode rotates in an ‘orbital’ motion around the tube.

Advantage: Compact size for use in restricted space environments.
