Our gas-cooled orbital welding heads are the perfect choice for classic cassette welding applications. Thanks to a well-designed interchangeable system, one drive unit is sufficient for different heads—efficient and economical. The portfolio is complemented by a micro fitting welding head with minimal space requirements and high thermal resilience—ideal for tight installation situations.
In Orbitec systems, the handle and cable assembly with the hose package and the welding head are separate. This makes it possible to control a large number of cassette welding heads with only one drive unit (exception: microfitting welding head), ensuring greater flexibility and lower costs.
Gas-cooled weld head for applications with extremely narrow space requirements, e.g. in the semiconductor industry. Specially designed to weld micro-fittings too. The design (specific gas flow management) and the material selection enable high thermal capacity, even without water cooling.g.

Our new generation of three gas-cooled weld heads that have been technically optimised and redesigned and have a tube size range of OD 6 – 114.3 mm / 0.250" – 4.500". Special design features and the material selection enable high thermal capacity, even without water cooling. The heads are even narrower and have a quick clamp system for the collets.

The following components are required to operate an OSK weld head. The drive unit houses the motor and the start-stop function for the weld head. Suitable clamping jaws ensure secure fixation and are selected according to the respective tube diameter.
Handle and cable assembly for OSK C and CS, consisting of a handle with control element (start/stop button and status display), weld head interface, motor / gearbox unit and 8 m hose package.
Advantage: While using this flange, you can also use the OSK C and CS weld heads with the OSK G or S handle and cable assembly.
Handle and cable assemblies consisting of a handle with control element (start/stop button and status display), weld head interface, motor / gearbox unit and 8 m hose package. The OSK G and S handle and cable assemblies and weld heads are compatible with one another!
We have a comprehensive range of collets in stock for all OSK heads. 1 set per tube outer diameter = 4 half-shells. All collet Ø in stock can be found in the table on page 66. Other Ø and collets with a common contact surface are available as custom designs on request.

SuperArc: Precision-machined disposable tungsten electrodes for reproducible orbital welding. Cut your costs, because each new manual sharpening operation costs time and money. Standard quality WC 20 to DIN EN ISO 6848.
Finished dimensions for all ORBITEC weld heads as a function of the tube outer diameter.
As a one-stop supplier for orbital welding, we also offer a wide range of accessories. Electrode holders and gas shield collets are available for the orbital welding heads. These are used to weld fittings, flanges and components with short welded sockets.

GAS-shield collets are particularly narrow and have an aluminium base collet and a screw-on gas-shield collet made of heat-resistant GRP material. They are used to weld fittings, flanges and components with short welded hexagon nipples. In conjunction with offset or multi-position electrode holders, the weld can be completed very close to one side of the weld head. A collet set with a common contact surface is recommended for secure fixing. GAS-SHIELD collets are available for OSK 53 / 76 / 115 weld heads (the max. tube size range is limited).
