Orbitec has introduced a range of orbital weld heads which can be used with a common handle and power supply. The range features a quick-clamp mechanism for attaching the handle, incorporating the hose inlet, in seconds. The units will also connect to existing power supplies of other maunufacturers, so systems can be upgraded easily, sometimes at a fraction of the price. It is now possible to buy a number of weld heads of varying sizes and tube capacities with just one, low-cost and compact handle. A complete weld head with handle is priced from just 3633 (GBP). Typically, a system consisting of two heads is around half the cost of competitive offerings where two complete systems would be necessary. The OSK units are enclosed heads suitable for welding thin-walled tubes up to 114mm diameter. Compact and narrow in design, they are ideal for limited access situations. A shielded gas chamber is incorporated to prevent OD discolouration. All OSK heads are available in either gas- or water-cooled versions and Orbitec offers a range of accessories for maximum flexibility in almost any application
