TIG welding power supply SMART WELDER

orbital

Product overview Smart Welder Plus: digital orbital welding power source for efficient workflows and consistently high welding quality. Designed for stationary production and prefabrication, it delivers reproducible results via stored welding programs and supports precise process control and traceable documentation.

Key figures / Performance highlights

• Estimated time saved per year*: 156 h (example: 50 welds/day, 251 working days, OW 76 weld head, 50.8 x 1.65).
• Estimated gas reduction per year**: 1,059 l (based on specified operating assumptions).
• Additional welds achievable per year***: 4,117 (based on the above example).

Primary advantages

• Pipe outer diameter range: 3.00 mm – 275.00 mm (0.118” – 10.827”).
• Control (current) range: 5 – 180 A.
• Duty cycle: 60% at 180 A, 100% at 160 A.

More speed, lower costs

• Digital Flow-Force gas control for fine gas management.
• Reduction of gas pre-flow and post-flow from 30 s to 15 s each — total time saving ≈ 30 s per weld.
• Second gas channel for pipe internal purging/forming.
• Digitally controlled continuous gas: example reduction from 15 l/min to 5 l/min.

Quality on repeat

• Clean, continuous weld seams with smooth surface, free of heat tint.
• Reproducible results through stored welding programs and auto-programming.

High productivity

• Increased throughput due to reduced cycle times.
• Support for gas- and liquid-cooled weld heads.
• Ideal for stationary production and prefabrication; stackable and space-saving for workshop, vehicle and confined areas.
• New inverter with high-precision control.

Functional features & product elements

• Integrated digital gas control and second gas channel for purge.
• Visual/media support: demonstration clip for gas management (video).
• Product images and connection overview available.

Need more power? (Power Welder variant)

• Power Welder variant available for higher duty cycles and thicker walls.
• Power Welder pipe OD: 3.00 – 230.00 mm (0.118 – 9.055 in).
• Power Welder control range: 5 – 300 A.
• Power Welder duty cycle examples: 40% at 300 A, 60% at 260 A, 100% at 220 A.
• Note: increased cooling capacity required; ORBICAR W required for Power Welder.

Smart connectivity

• Industry 4.0 ready: LAN/WLAN-based system for server storage.
• 100% capture and storage of process data in a local network.
• Real-time data access via MQTT to live power source data.
• Use of barcode/QR scanners to simplify production and documentation workflows; connectivity/IoT package optional.

Traceable welding processes

• Data export via USB to hard drive, USB stick or network location; Never Loss Data memory for secure storage.
• Freely definable documentation fields via digital documentation process.
• Internal printer for program and log output; Log Manager for easy log file management.

Operation & usability

• User-friendly interface: touch display, multifunction rotary knob and soft keys.
• Automatic creation of welding programs (auto-programming).
• Multilingual menu navigation for fast operator onboarding.

Notes

• *156 hours/year time savings with 50 welds/day, 251 working days, OW 76 weld head, 50.8 x 1.65.
• **Example: 2 l/min continuous gas with 2 minutes between welds; previous welding gas flow 16 l/min.
• ***Based on the aforementioned example data.
