The advantages of closed welding heads are obvious. Easy to operate while guaranteeing a high-purity result thanks to the gas protection that surrounds the weld pool and the weld bead in a closed chamber. But a closed welding head does not work for all types of applications. Discover below some examples of applications that require you to use an open welding head!
It is important to follow all steps necessary for customs clearance in order to avoid any delay in transport. If the customs formalities aren’t followed correctly, the machines might get held back at the borders.
In order to understand AXXAIR’s philosophy, we need to take a few steps back in time. Over 20 years ago, in the early days of this orbital welding specialist, the current CEO Mr. Legrand developed an orbital cutting machine.
Embedded cameras can be mounted onto open welding heads and are therefore a perfect asset when working on thick tubes or pipes, in high-risk areas (e.g. in the nuclear industry) or in confined spaces.
As an expert in the global tube working process (tube cutting, facing or beveling and orbital welding), we highly recommend you to pay attention to the following 3 steps when it comes to butt welding. It will help you to best prepare your tubes before welding !
As every year, AXXAIR will participate at the trade show FABTECH 2019 which is set this year for November 11-14 at McCormick Place, Chicago, IL.
You realize production efficiency in your company and want to be more effective during your piping projects?
Every manufacturer of production machinery outlines specific rules for the maintenance of their product. This maintenance optimizes performance, avoids break-downs and extends the life of the machine.
TIG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas) also called Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) uses a refractory electrode permitting the transfer of energy towards the workpiece - in the form of an electric arc created between the workpiece and the electrode. This energy melts the materials in order to join them.
Squaring of tubes before welding can be interesting for various reasons, and especially for automated or orbital welding applications. Only thin tubes with wall thicknesses no bigger than 3mm are concerned, which generally have to be welded by simple fusion.
