Closed-Head Orbital Welding 1/2-Inch to 2-Inch ...

How a French sanitary tube shop dropped 316L reject rate from 9% to 1.8% on 1/2-inch to 2-inch ASME BPE joints using FXT20 + C80 closed-head orbital welding.

FXT40 Pro 8-Zone × 8-Stage Programming: How Lay...

The FXT40 Pro's 8-zone × 8-stage programming is a two-dimensional parameter structure: 8 zones correspond to the welding pass sequence (root through cap), and 8 stages within each zone correspond...

Open-Head Orbital Welding 4-Inch Process Pipe i...

How a Qatar contractor cut 4-inch pipe rework from 11.4% to 2.8% using K114 and K168 open-head orbital welding on an FXT40 Pro power source.

Open-Head vs. Closed-Head Orbital Welding: Appl...

Open-head (K-series) and closed-head (C-series) orbital welding systems address different application profiles — choosing between them is an application matching decision, not a quality comparison. This article explains the design...

SS304/316L Tube Reject Rates Above 10% on 3mm W...

Manual TIG on 3mm SS316L walls was failing above 10% reject. See how orbital automation closed the gap to AWS D18.1 and ASME BPE compliance.

12.7 mm to 168 mm OD in One Kit: How Engineers ...

Manual TIG produces undercut failures on 8–15% of joints. See how a 3-head orbital kit eliminates that on pipe from 12 to 170 mm OD.
