Welding lathe (positioner) for butt welding of pipes
Country: · Model: Pipe rotator
A mechanized and automatic welding machine for circumferential butt welding of pipes in the workshop, including prefabrication of piping assemblies. The pipe itself rotates, and the torch stands still in the most convenient welding position. It works with TIG with cold or hot wire or with plasma.
- Purpose
- circumferential tube-to-tube welds
- Construction
- modular, for different diameters, lengths and weights of pipes
- Processes
- TIG CW/HW, plasma

Description
Unlike an orbital head, which travels around a stationary pipe, here the pipe rotates and the torch stays in place. According to the manufacturer's description the machine has a tilting positioner, a torch with hot wire feed, a WDR video system with a wide dynamic range, a tailstock with a pneumatic clamp and a pipe support. The equipment is mounted on a frame and can be moved around the workshop. Pipe rotation, wire feed and welding current are synchronized by the source controller, and programs are prepared in advance and transferred on a flash drive. The P6 series sources add a graphical interface for managing welding data and monitoring parameters. The machine welds tube-to-tube, tube-to-flange and tube-to-elbow joints needed for piping assemblies in power, oil and gas and chemical applications.
How to choose
The design is modular, so the machine is adapted to the diameter, length and weight of the pipes of a particular order. The ranges of diameters and weights depend on the version and are not given in the available sources, so they are clarified at the selection stage. If assemblies are welded on site or the pipe does not rotate, an orbital head is taken instead of the machine. The choice of process depends on the material and wall thickness, and TIG with cold or hot wire and plasma are available.

FAQ
How does the machine differ from an orbital head?
In the machine the pipe rotates and the torch is stationary in a convenient welding position, while in an orbital head it is the other way round.
What joints is the machine intended for?
For circumferential tube-to-tube, tube-to-flange and tube-to-elbow welds in the prefabrication of piping assemblies.
Which welding processes are available?
TIG with cold or hot wire and plasma welding.
How are welding programs stored?
Programs are prepared in advance and transferred on a flash drive, and the P6 series sources provide a graphical interface.
