Overview and applications of orbital welding technology

On the market, there are numerous welding technologies. The latest technology employed in industries where there is a need for weld quality, efficiency, productivity, and simplicity improvement is orbital welding technology. This article by Swisstech Schreiner gives an overview of the technology, taking into account all of the aforementioned variables.

 

Overview of orbital welding technology

The method used to join the pipes or tubes followed a certain trajectory and is known as orbital welding technology. This technology is widely applied in the case of pipelines on a large scale, where a number of pipes are joined together.

There is a chance that the joints on these pipelines could leak. If the pipelines are utilized for the supply of gas or any other hazardous liquids, such as acid, etc., these leakages could be dangerous.

The leakage could also result in a drop in output, which would affect the hygiene situation. It is necessary for welding technology to advance in order to solve these issues. Because pipeline utilization is expanding daily, orbital welding is becoming more and more necessary.

Tube welding is currently becoming just as important to the sector as pipe welding. These tubes or pipes are mass produced in various sectors, so those industries require an increase in productivity. So, an advancement in orbital welding technology is needed for that.

 

Application of Orbital Welding technology

The use of orbital welding technology is increasing in a variety of industries. Currently, their applications are growing every day. The following is a list of some of their applications.

Aerospace

The benefits of automated orbital welding were initially understood by the aerospace sector. A single aircraft's high-pressure systems can have more than 1,500 automatically produced welded joints made by orbital welding machines.

Dairy, food, and beverage industry

For all weld joints in these industries, full penetration welds must be consistent. The tube and tubing welds need to be as smooth as possible for the pipe system to operate at its best efficiency. Every pit, fissure, crack, or imperfect weld joint might catch the liquid circulating inside the tube, creating a breeding ground for germs.

Industry of pharmaceuticals

Water of the highest caliber is supplied to pharmaceutical processes through piping systems and process lines. To guarantee that the water coming from the tubes is free of germs, rust, or other impurities, high-quality welds are necessary. Using orbital welding, full-penetration welds are guaranteed without overheating, which can reduce the final weld zone's ability to resist corrosion.

Industry of semiconductors

To avoid contaminant buildup on the tube wall or weld joints, the semiconductor sector demands pipe systems with exceedingly smooth interior surface finishes. A buildup of contaminants, moisture, or particulates could release once it becomes large enough and damage the batch process.

Valves, regulators, and pipe and tube fittings

Tubing with termination fittings is necessary for medical systems, liquid and gas distribution systems, and hydraulic lines. Optimal weld quality and excellent welding productivity are made possible by orbital systems.

 

These days, there is more competition in the producing industries. Customers seek high-grade products that are of good or excellent quality. There are no longer any chances for defects in the product. A change in manufacturing is required to survive in this cutthroat world.

Weld quality is increased, weld speed is increased, and scrap and rework costs are decreased when the welding process is optimized. The companies can obtain a lower cost per product with good quality and a short time by attaining these aims. It is simple to control the usage of the electrode, input material, shield can, etc. by using orbital welding technology and computer programming.
