System family 01 路 Closed-chamber
The head that decides high-purity inner beads.
A clamshell chamber, an inert envelope, and a torch that rotates inside it. The C-series is the family for any joint where the inner bead has to survive a SEMI F20 particle check or an ASME BPE color-level inspection. Seven heads from C5 to C170 cover 3.175 mm to 165.2 mm OD on one digital interface.

01 / Why the family exists
The closed-chamber problem is shielding, not torch motion.
For high-purity tube-to-tube welds, the inside of the joint is the working surface. Any oxidation, particle release, or out-of-spec weld profile becomes a contamination source downstream 鈥?and the contamination doesn't show in the radiograph. It shows in the wafer yield, the WFI conductivity reading, or the brewery's micro test two weeks later.
Open-frame heads can't solve this. They shield the outer surface; the inner surface picks up oxygen the moment the arc strikes. The C-series solves it by enclosing the joint inside a controlled chamber 鈥?argon fills the cavity, the torch rotates inside, the inner bead grows in a 360掳 inert envelope.
The six head sizes (C5, C10, C40, C80, C120, C170) cover the full OD range from 录" instrumentation tubing to 6.6" process piping. All six heads share the same FXT20 power source interface, the same 200-group program library, and the same per-joint data logging via built-in micro printer + USB.

04 / The shared power source
FXT20 鈥?the compact pulse source for C-series and PT-series.
The FXT20 is the digital pulse-controlled TIG power source FYID-Feiyide engineered specifically for high-purity work. It drives every C-series closed-chamber head and every PT-series tube-to-tubesheet head 鈥?same interface, same program library, same firmware.
The FXT20 is designed as a compact digital power source for in-cleanroom retrofit and high-density installation planning. Per-joint data logging is built in, not an accessory.
K-series open-frame work uses a different power source 鈥?the industrial-class FXT40 Pro 鈥?designed for higher current and field-durability rather than compactness.

What buyers ask about C-series before the quote.
What is the C-series closed-chamber orbital welder?
The FYID-Feiyide C-series is a family of six closed-chamber orbital TIG weld heads (C5, C10, C40, C80, C120, C170) covering pipe OD from 3.175 mm to 165.2 mm. All six heads share the FXT20 digital power source and parameter library. The family is engineered for high-purity tube-to-tube welds in semiconductor UHP, biopharma WFI, sanitary food, and AI data center cooling applications.
Which industries does the C-series serve?
FYID-Feiyide C-series heads are deployed in semiconductor UHP gas distribution (SEMI F20), biopharma WFI / CIP / SIP piping (ASME BPE), sanitary food and dairy (EHEDG, 3-A), and AI data center liquid cooling (ASHRAE). All four applications require closed-chamber welding for inner bead quality.
Why use closed-chamber instead of open-frame for high-purity work?
Open-frame heads shield the outer surface of the joint with cup-gas flow. The inner surface picks up oxygen the moment the arc strikes. For high-purity applications 鈥?semiconductor UHP, WFI loops, sanitary process piping 鈥?closed-chamber heads fill the inside of the joint with inert gas, producing inner-bead oxidation control for SEMI F20 and ASME BPE-type projects.
How does the C-series compare to legacy European closed-head welders?
Three concrete differences. (1) FXT20 is a compact digital power source for in-cleanroom retrofits and rack-level installs with tight access. (2) Delivery is confirmed by configuration, production schedule, and logistics. (3) 200+ program entries give operators controlled starting points for customer WPS development and review.
How quickly can FYID-Feiyide ship a complete C-series + FXT20 configuration?
Delivery schedule is confirmed by configuration, production schedule, inspection requirements, and logistics. Vertically integrated manufacturing in Huanggang, Hubei keeps assembly and inspection under one roof. Remote engineering support can be arranged after equipment arrival.
