Water-cooled welding head TX 38P

tube-to-tubesheetTIGorbital

Overview
TX 38P Tube-to-Tubesheet Welding Head: precise orbital TIG welding of tube-to-tubesheet joints for high seam quality and short production times. Optimized for thin-walled heat exchangers and suitable for repair, maintenance and series production.

Key Advantages

• Precise, reproducible tube-to-tubesheet welds meeting process-industry requirements.
• Process stability with a durable, industrial-grade design.
• Consistent weld quality in any position: flawless results on horizontal and vertical tubesheets.

Maximum Productivity & Time Savings

• Automated TIG orbital welding reduces manual labour and ensures consistent results.
• Automatic head recognition by ORBIMAT power sources enables fast start-up without manual adjustments.
• Liquid-cooled welding head housing prevents overheating and keeps stable process conditions.
• Optional ORBITWIN switching unit allows alternating operation of two welding heads to reduce setup and idle times.

Intuitive and Easy Operation

• Integrated handle remote for start/stop, gas regulation and rotor control — intuitive one‑hand operation.
• Pneumatic clamping with self-centering fixation inside the tube for quick, tool-free changeover.
• Quick electrode-position adjustment for precise adaptation to different tube diameters.

Durable & Maintenance-Friendly

• Reliable drive motor providing precise, uniform rotation.
• Wear-free current transmission via liquid-cooled sliding contact to prevent leaks and reduce maintenance.
• Service-friendly design with easily accessible clamping and drive systems for quick maintenance and minimal downtime.

Versatile Applications

• Suitable for tube end conditions: flush, slightly recessed or slightly protruding.
• High compatibility with AMI mounting mandrels (Model 96).
• Scalable clamping segments available for tube inner diameters from 13.8 to 37 mm.

Increased Productivity with Optional Accessories

• ORBITWIN switching unit (optional) to operate two weld heads alternately and significantly increase throughput.
