Welding Power supply with touch operation and online process communication

Orbitalum's new Orbimat SW intelligent power supplies for orbital welding allows digital networking, connecting the orbital welding process with information and communication technology for welding results, efficiency and quality management. The unbroken capture and backup of data on the customer's LAN provides the transparency required by Industry 4.0.
With built-in LAN and WLAN interface, the Orbimat SW can be integrated into the customer's network, giving users, planning engineers and quality assurance employees with different user levels access to projects and data at all times, and making it possible to keep track of the entire welding process. All welding data and programs for each individual welding process can be called up and documented in full, analysed, used and optimised for future welding processes.
The Orbimat SW are operated using the 12.4” colour touchscreen, or alternatively with the multifunctional control dial. The multilingual menu interface with graphic support makes operation and parametrization of the welding power supplies simple and intuitive.
Precise digital welding gas control makes it possible to perform welding processes with high levels of purity and a low gas requirement. The gas quantity values saved with the welding program make easily reproducible welding results.
An automatic rotor stop function provides improved safety. The Orbimat SW also features motor torque control.
In order to minimize the gas pre-flow and post-flow times, Orbitalum has incorporated the Flow-Force function, which shortens the welding process when using closed welding heads. The digital gas control supplies safety gas at a very high volumetric flow rate directly from the pressure reducer to the welding head.
The Orbimat SW operate with a wide input voltage range of 110 to 230 V AC 50/60 Hz, and offsets mains fluctuations of 90 to 260 V AC.
The integrated liquid cooling system keeps connected welding tongs and heads at the right temperature.
