Welding heads

A6S Compact welding heads for internal weldingForexcellentweldingresults

• For welding longitudinal and circumferential butt joints inside tubes. • Three versions available:

A6S Compact 300 for internal welding of tubes down to 300 mm (12inch)insidediameter. A6S Compact 500 for internal welding of tubes down to 500 mm (20inch)insidediameter. A6S Compact 700 for internal welding of tubes down to 700 mm (27.5inch)insidediameter.

• Equipped with reliable, VEC feed motor for superior weld performance.

• Supervise and adjust the head position via TV monitoring system - Optional.

• Use standard mini-cross slide assembly and PAV manual trackingsystemorGMHautomaticjointtrackingsystemtoeasily follow the joint - Optional.

• AddeithertheFFRSBasic/SuperorFFRS1200/3000FluxFeed & Recovery System to optimize the welding process.
