Convenient handling

• Integrated control unit with display in an ergonomic aluminium handle for single-operator use.
• Direct access to favourite welding programmes and additional functions.
• Real-time visualisation of process progress to reduce walking and setup time.

Better visibility

• LED lighting inside the welding head for fast alignment checks and reduced defects.
• Flip cover with viewing window for visual inspection before and during welding.

Intuitive and easy operation

• Self-centering clamping mechanism for quick and reliable pipe clamping.
• Closed design with special gas guidance system to ensure continuous shielding gas coverage.
• Externally accessible, tool-free clamping shell change for fast dimension changes.

For guaranteed optimum welding results

• Gyro sensor technology automatically positions the electrode to the programmed start point to avoid gravity-related defects.
• Integrated liquid cooling prevents overheating and ensures stable operating temperature.
• Low heat-tint weld seams reduce post-processing of pipes.

Reliable operation — service-friendly

• Welding head opens easily for small on-site repairs.
• Operator-serviceable gearbox reduces external repair dependency and waiting time.
• Gearbox components serviceable with minimal tools to shorten downtime.

Compatibility and integration

• Mechanical backbone mounting interface for fast integration into fixtures or table mounts.
• Compatible with Smart Welder and Mobile Welder series power sources and with OWS clamping shells and electrode adapters.

Optional accessories
Optional table bracket available to secure the weld head reliably at the workstation; adaptable for temporary or permanent mounting and positionable parallel or perpendicular to the mounting surface.
