Product Details

Innovative Magnetic Adhesion & Rotation

  • Effortless Orbital Movement: Utilizes high-performance permanent magnetic wheels that adhere securely to the weldment or orbital track, enabling smooth 360° torch rotation.
  • Optimized for Circumferential Seams: Specially designed for stable pipe-to-pipe welding with minimal preparation time due to its reliable magnetic force.
  • Material Versatility: While magnetic by nature, optional special tracks are available for non-magnetic materials such as stainless steel.

Advanced TIG Integration & Process Control

  • Comprehensive Welding Suite: Fully equipped with a professional TIG welder, integrated Arc Voltage Controller (AVC), and an Oscillator (OSC) for precise arc length and bead width management.
  • Smart Wire Feeding: The automated system features wire retraction and impulse feeding functions, ensuring consistent filler metal deposition and defect-free arc starts.

Lightweight Construction & Thermal Management

  • High-Strength Aluminum Design: The machine body is primarily manufactured from premium aluminum alloy, achieving a lightweight yet robust structure for superior portability.
  • Extended Duty Cycles: A built-in 18L forced-circulation water cooling unit guarantees continuous, uninterrupted operation even during high-intensity welding tasks.
  • Multi-Axis Flexibility: Features manual torch adjustment in both radial and axial directions, alongside angular adjustments for seamless transition between positions.

Intelligent User Interface

  • Intuitive Touchscreen Control: The operating system features a color touchscreen interface for effortless programming and real-time parameter monitoring.
  • One-Touch Automation: Enables a fully automated welding cycle with a single button press, while retaining the flexibility for manual intervention as needed.
  • Custom Recipe Storage: Internal memory allows for the storage and rapid retrieval of 30 sets of welding procedures based on specific workpiece dimensions.
