| The Redhead
series of weld Heads are easy-to-operate tools for
welding pipe. Three standard models cover pipe sizes
12.7mm to 168mm OD (0.5" to 6.625"). A mechanical arc
length control device compensates for out-of-round
pipe. The basic weld Heads can be used for fusion
welding applications. Filler wire feed modules are
optionally available for all models.
The Second Generation design provides
continuously adjustable clamping - no need to
interchange components when changing pipe sizes.
Redheads clamp only on one side of the
weld joint, allowing use for pipe-to-fitting welds.
Used with all all Tubemaster and
Pipemaster models, these weld heads improve productivity
by increasing duty cycle, reducing repair rates and
producing welds of consistent quality.
MOUNTING
The Weld Head mounts entirely on one side
of the joint, allowing use on pipe-to-pipe and
pipe-to-fitting welds. |
