Cylindrical Welding Automation

DESCRIPTION

The Cylindrical Welding Automation system from Apak Interwelding provides a complete circular welding system for cylindrical shells, pipes, and tanks. Designed as an advanced orbital welding automation, it offers consistent precision and productivity for both circumferential and longitudinal welds. The system integrates servo-controlled rotation, hydraulic clamping, and programmable parameters to achieve perfect seam alignment and repeatability.

Supporting MIG/MAG, TIG, and SAW processes, this pipe welding system adapts to all material thicknesses and diameters. Optional modules like dual-torch operation, fume extraction, and PLC control expand flexibility. With its rigid frame and smooth drive mechanics, Cylindrical Welding Automation delivers up to five times faster cycle time compared to manual welding – ideal for pressure vessels, boilers, pipe spools, and circular components requiring durable weld quality.
