Weld Heads
For tube and pipe orbital welding applications
The TPWH-C series is designed to perform orbital TOG welds on tube and thin wall pipe without the need for wire feeding. The sealed cavity is filled with protective gas prior to and during the welding process. This weld head is very efficient and has a water cooled system. Various collet sizes are available, offering accurate positioning without tacking.
