When you're staring down a tight deadline on high-purity stainles line for a pharma client, teh last thing you need is a weld that doesn't pass visual inspection — we've seen buyers scramble over that exact issue, and this machine's repeatability is what keeps them from redoing joints.
It runs on a 200A inverter with a duty cycle that drops to 30% at max load, but at 110A you're at 100% continuous, so for most orbital work you'll never hit the limit anyway, and the 10.4" touch screen lets you store up to 999 programs with 20 sections each — that's basically a library of weld schedules you can pull up in seconds.
For orbital TIG without filler wire, it handles carbon steel, stainless, and titanium alloy on pipes form 6mm up to 168.3mm, but the water cooling needs at least 300ml/min flow or you'll trip the thermal protection — we usually have stock on the TC series heads, but confirm lead time if you need a specific rotation speed since the 0.06-12rpm range varies by model.
Anyway, payment is typically 30% deposit with balance before shipment, and we ship within 20 days or so — just send over your PO and we'll lock in the price.
Our MOQ for the Tube Master 200 is typically 1 unit for standard orders, but we can discuss bulk discounts if you need more than 5 units.
Each unit ships with a CE declaration of conformity and a test certificate for the welding parameters. We can also provide a material certificate for the power source upon request.
Yes, it handles titanium alloy just fine, as long as you use argon shielding gas. For 3mm wall thickness, you'd set the current around 120-150A, and the water cooling flow must stay above 300ml/min to avoid overheating.
Keep it in a dry, dust-free area with temperatures between -10°C and 50°C. Make sure the water cooling system is drained completely to prevent freezing or corrosion inside the lines.
Absolutely customizable. You get 999 programs, each with 20 sections, so you can tweak parameters like rotation speed, current, and gas flow for every pipe size from 6mm up to 168.3mm. Just save them on the touch screen.
