Axxair SATFX Series Closed Weld Heads
The AXXAIR SATFX orbital welding heads are designed to deliver exceptional performance and precision for various welding applications. Key features include an innovative clamping system that ensures secure and accurate positioning, and a user-friendly interface that allows for easy adjustments and operation. The SATFX welding heads offer excellent versatility, accommodating a wide range of pipe sizes and materials, making them an ideal choice for achieving high-quality, repeatable welds.
Magnatech D-Head
The Magnatech D Weld Head is engineered for pipe-to-pipe and pipe-to-fitting welds, replicating the precise motions of a skilled welder. It excels in applications with limited radial and axial clearance, although it works perfectly fine when clearance is not an issue as well. Equipped with interchangeable guide rings, the D Weld Head can be mounted on pipes, accommodating a wide size range from 1 inch to 14 inches. This versatile tool enhances productivity by boosting duty cycle, lowering repair rates, and ensuring consistent weld quality.
Magnatech Quick Clamp Series
The Magnatech Quickclamp weld heads are engineered for efficient pipe-to-pipe and pipe-to-fitting welds. These heads are fully functional, replicating the precise movements of an experienced welder. The clamp is continuously adjustable, eliminating the need to swap components when changing pipe sizes—simply slide the head over the pipe and secure it with a toggle lever. Quickclamp heads enhance productivity by boosting duty cycles, reducing repair rates, and consistently delivering high-quality welds.

Magnatech T-Head
The T Head is designed for larger diameter and heavy wall applications that demand precise weld process control using gas tungsten arc welding. Interchangeable guide rings allow for easy mounting on the pipe, enabling the T Head to accommodate a wide range of sizes. This model enhances productivity by extending the duty cycle and lowering repair rates

Closed Head vs Open Head Orbital Welding Heads
Which One Do I Need?
Closed head and open head orbital welding heads differ in their design and sometimes in their welding processes. Closed head orbital welding heads enclose both the welding electrode and the workpiece within a sealed chamber, isolating the welding environment from external factors like atmosphere and contamination. Closed orbital welding heads can not perform wire-fed welding applications, thus they are only capable of making autogenous, fusion welds. This design ensures a controlled atmosphere, reducing the risk of defects and enabling precise, consistent welds, making them ideal for applications with stringent quality requirements such as pharmaceutical or food/dairy applications. In contrast, open head orbital welding heads feature an open design where the electrode is exposed to the environment, requiring the use of inert gas shielding to protect the weld from atmospheric contaminants. The open head design allows the orbital welding head to add wire and oscillate the electrode, making them useful for wire-fed TIG welding application often required on pipe or tube with wall thicknesses greater than 0.140". While open head systems are versatile and more accessible for larger workpieces, closed head systems excel in applications demanding the highest levels of weld purity and precision, such as aerospace and pharmaceutical industries.
