Orbital Welding

Automated orbital welding systems enhance the operator’s ability to make high-quality, repeatable welds; an important advantage over manual welding considering the number of welds required to assemble an industrial fluid system.

• Repeatable, accurate welds
• High volume weld capacity
• 100% penetration of weld
• Suitable for nearly all industry applications
• No additional weld material is used making it ideal for critical applications requiring weld integrity and high purity
• Real-time monitoring and data recording
• Cost effective and reliable gas tungsten arc welds
• Lightweight, portable power supply
• Selection of weld heads
• Variety of tools and accessories

For use with our complete line of Swagelok tubing, weld fittings and valves:

• M200 Orbital Power Supplies
• Weld Heads ranging from micro to 40 head (for tubing with outside diameters of 1/16" to 4")
• Wide range of collet sizes for all weld heads
• Facing Tools and their respective collets
• Tube Saw

Our Quality equipment is available to rent on a weekly or monthly basis.

Gas purge is a critical process for welding, but one where vital equipment is often overlooked. Swagelok WNY offers pre-built gas purge package accessories that ensure your weld operators have everything they need on Day 1 of the project.

In addition to UHP purge kits, Swagelok WNY provides individual UHP purge equipment and complete gas delivery systems:

• Distribution Manifold
• Purge Panel
• Purge Tree
• Gas Stick
• Purge Stick

Each of these pieces come in standardized designs, with BOMs and part numbers for straightforward ordering, but are easily customizable to the demands of your project.

Local, in-house Swagelok WNY engineers and certified assembly technicians build and test each piece ensuring they are ready for installation upon delivery to the job site. All assemblies receive the same Swagelok Limited Lifetime Warranty as our components.

Associate Training

Enable your associates to safely and effectively operate an orbital welder through our 1-day, on-site Orbital Welding Training. Our trainers will provide theory and hands-on practical training customized to meet the needs of your project or business.

Student Training

The 1-day Orbital Welding Training is a perfect way to introduce your students to the automated welding system. We have conducted Orbital Welding trainings for both BOCES and University programs. Watch the above news video from our training day with the Tompkins-Seneca-Tioga BOCES welding program at the Cornell NanoScale Facility.

Topics

The 1-day Orbital Welding Training program is open to welders of all experience levels and is designed to help operators:

• Gain an understanding of orbital welding principles
• Understand setup and operation of the Swagelok M200 Orbital Welding System
• Appreciate the importance of gases (shielding and purging) in the weld process
• Troubleshoot frequently encountered welding problems
• Avoid operational issues through hands-on experience

Additionally, Swagelok offers a 5-day training program at the factory in Solon, Ohio that will enable trainees to test for ASME Section IX qualification.
