Welding is a vital process, and Orbital welding machine, as one of the representatives of modern automated welding technology, is widely used in pipeline installation projects in various fields such as oil, natural gas, chemical industry, water supply, and heating. This article will explain to you today the working principle of the orbital welding machine and its application in pipeline engineering.

Orbital welding machine working principle

 
The working principle of the Orbital welding machine is based on orbital automated welding technology. It mainly includes the following steps:
 
1. Set welding parameters: The operator sets the welding parameters according to the welding requirements, including current, voltage, welding speed, etc.
 
2. Clamping the workpiece: The workpiece is clamped in the fixture of the orbital welding machine to ensure the stability and positional accuracy of the workpiece.
 
3. Start welding: After the welding machine is started, the welding head begins to move along the track of the workpiece while performing automated welding operations.
 
4. Automatic control: During the welding process, the orbital welding machine automatically adjusts the welding current and voltage according to the preset welding parameters to ensure the stability of the welding process and the quality of the weld.
 
5. Complete welding: When the welding is completed, the orbital welding machine stops moving and the welding head returns to the initial position to complete the entire welding process.
