GTAW: Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A constant-current welding power supply produces energy which is conducted across the arc through a column of highly ionized gas and metal vapors known as a plasma.

GTAW Manual Wire Feed: normally requires two hands, since most applications require that the welder manually feed a filler metal into the weld area with one hand while manipulating the welding torch in the other. This process is used in the food and beverage, Biopharmaceutical, semiconductor, refineries, and structural supports.

Auto GTAW: Orbital welding can increase weld productivity without sacrificing weld quality, replicating weld consitancy along with micro welding capabilites and data collection. weldheads are capable of welding 1/8th" thru 6" tubing, .035 wall to 1/4" wall. This process is commonly used in the food and beverage, pharmacutical, and semiconduter industry. AWD, currently has 7 power sources and over 9 different weld heads for support of your projects.

Auto Heavy Wall Cold Feed Wire: It is very difficult to achieve the highest standards of quality and safety using manual welding, because certain welding positions, overhead and down-hand welds for example, often lead to faulty welds due to restricted access and freedom of movement. In order to have complete control over the weld pool, a perfect balance must be maintained between gravitational force and surface tension at every position of the torch. With mechanised variants of the technique, certain parts of the welding process are handled by mechanical components, with a welder monitoring and controlling the process. In an ideal situation, all welding parameters would be fully programmed before welding is started.

SMAW: Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as manual metal arc (MMA) welding or informally as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode coated in flux to lay the weld. An electric current, in the form of either alternating current or direct current from a welding power supply, is used to form an electric arc between the electrode and the metals to be joined. As the weld is laid, the flux coating of the electrode disintegrates, providing a layer of slag, which introduces compounds that extract inpurities from weld puddle.

GMAW: Gas metal arc welding (GMAW), sometimes referred to by its subtypes metal inert gas (MIG) welding or metal active gas (MAG) welding, is a semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun. A constant voltage, direct current power source is most commonly used with GMAW, but constant current systems, as well as alternating current, can be used. There are four primary methods of metal transfer in GMAW, called globular, short-circuiting, spray, and pulsed-spray, each of which has distinct properties and corresponding advantages and limitations.

FCAW: Flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) is a semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process. FCAW requires a continuously-fed consumable tubular electrode containing a flux and a constant-voltage or, less commonly, a constant-current welding power supply. An externally supplied shielding gas is sometimes used, but often the flux itself is relied upon to generate the necessary protection from the atmosphere. The process is widely used in construction because of its high welding speed and portability.

Oxy-Acetylene: cutting process is achieved by blowing away the molten material, which is melted by the combustion heat of acetylene gas and oxygen. Generally, only carbon steel material is cut using this process and material of remarkable thickness can be cut. However, the thickness that can be cut is based on a user's skill and the size of a torch used.

Hydraulic Pipe Beveller: The interior 3-point mounting system gives the Beveller a superior alignment along the cut edge this allows for precise machining of the bevel and consistency for duplication. Ensuring a better fit and welds compared to manual grinding. Alternative configurations such as J bevels cut down on weld area for less passes and consistent interior penetration. This allows quality to increase and weld time to decrease. Used in partnership with the auto heavy wall cold wire orbital welder can cut job costs dramatically, all while increasing quality and weld reliability.

Mini Pipe Jolly: Used for cutting a bevel or straight edge on pipe ranging in size 4" to 48" diameter with wall thickness up to 1". The pipe Jolly uses a guide chain to move around the pipe and is quickly aligned to ensure straight cuts. The harness supports either a Oxy Acetylene Cutting Head or a Plasma Cutting head enabling cutting of either stainless or Carbon materials as well as other alloys. Cutting harness is completely adjustable with locking positions allowing the fitter to set his angle manually. For most stainless application the Hydraulic pipe beveller is used to prep the end for either manual or automatic welding.

PAC: Plasma Arc Cutting, when used for cutting, the plasma gas flow is increased so that the deeply penetrating plasma jet cut through the material and the molten material is removed as cutting dross. PAC differs from oxy-fuel cutting in that the plasma process operates by using the arc to melt the metal whereas in the oxy-fuel process, the oxygen oxidizes the metal and the heat from the exothermic reaction melts the metal. Unlike oxy-fuel cutting, the PAC process can be applied to cutting metals, which form refractory oxides such as stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other non-ferrous alloys.

Cold Cut Tube Saw: tools provide precision square cold cuts required for quality fit-up used in orbital welding. are typically used in the food and beverage and biopharmaceutical industries.

Chip less HP Cutter: The High purity Tools are specifically for use in Biopharmaceutical and semiconductor industries. The cutting Method gives off a continues cut, this reduces the risk of contamination of the pipe system applied along with proper purging procedures.

Micro Tube Facer: The tube Facing tool is designed to give off a chip less continues cut ideal for high purity systems. Squaring and deburing the ends before use of Automatic orbital welding is crucial for weld quality, especially on smaller tubing systems.
