Custom welding heads to order (enclosed, open, carriage, manifold)
Country: · Model: Custom heads
Custom orbital and automatic welding heads are designed for a specific workpiece when the standard UHP, MW, MU IV, Polycar and TS series do not fit in terms of joint geometry, access or productivity. These can be enclosed, open, carriage and manifold heads. They work with TIG on cold or hot wire and with plasma.
- Types
- enclosed with cassettes/locking blocks, open with reduced clearance, carriage with NG torch and cameras, manifold with endless rotation
- Processes
- TIG CW/HW, plasma

Description
Enclosed heads with a chamber have individual clamping cassettes or locking blocks made for the part, so the edges meet precisely and the weld does not oxidize. Open heads with reduced clearance are fitted where a standard open head does not fit. Carriage heads cover medium and heavy work, have a conventional or narrow-gap torch, built-in cameras and feed of one or two wires. In manifold heads with endless rotation, current, gas and coolant go through a rotating manifold without cables, so welding is not stopped for unwinding. This principle is used in SPX heads for cladding and welding tubes to tubesheets. The heads are controlled by P6 and PC series power sources, which synchronize the current with the movement of the torch and the workpiece. One example is a head for the upper joint of a control rod mechanism at a nuclear power plant, which descends along the tubes, and the cycle is started by an operator remotely.
How to choose
First check whether a standard series is enough, and only then order a custom one. If the head does not fit into the clearance, an open head with reduced clearance is needed. For a long continuous weld without unwinding the cable, a manifold head is suitable, and for medium and heavy walls a carriage head with an NG torch. The technical parameters depend on the project and are not given in the sources, so they are agreed for the workpiece.

FAQ
When is a custom head ordered instead of a standard one?
When the UHP, MW, MU IV, Polycar and TS series do not fit in terms of joint geometry, access or productivity.
How does a custom enclosed head differ from a standard one?
It has individual clamping cassettes or locking blocks made for the specific part, which gives precise edge alignment and welding without oxidation.
How does a manifold head with endless rotation work?
Welding current, shielding gas and coolant are fed through a rotating manifold without cables. The weld is made without stopping for unwinding.
Which processes do custom heads support?
TIG with cold and hot wire and plasma welding from P6 and PC series power sources.
