Welding Equipment Sales & Service (W.E.S.S.) South Australia's Largest Independent Welding Distribution business with the world's best brands.
The WESS Team have you covered with many years of experience and knowledge of Welding.
As the exclusive Australian agents for Polysoude, our trained team will provide the expert advice, service and backup for the Polysoude range of orbital TIG products.
Polysoude provides modular welding heads and tools which easily adapt to various applications for tube and pipe welding and meet the increasing quality requirements for materials which are often difficult to weld.
Only automated orbital welding guarantees welding with controlled and limited heat input in order to respect the material properties.
Polysoude Smart Welding stations are able to produce high-quality welds at high production rates, under severe environmental conditions.
A welding power source for orbital welding is composed of several integrated subunits, each with specific functions:
One or two Power Inverters to supply both the welding current and, in the case of TIG Hot Wire welding, the current to heat up the filler wire. Today, inverter sources are state of the art and POLYSOUDE’s unique high performance transistor power source PC-TR is cutting edge.
A programmable control unit, operated through an integrated micro- or PC-controller.
An integrated or external data acquisition system.
Closed chamber welding heads are specially designed for autogenous welding of tubes without filler wire.
Different sizes are available, covering a range of diameters from 1.6 mm to 170 mm (ANSI 1/16" to 4").
Excellent results can be achieved when welding austenitic stainless steel, metals susceptible to oxidation, such as titanium, or alloys such as Inconel. Depending on the application, clamping cassettes or TCIs (Tube Clamping Inserts) are used to fix the closed chamber head onto the tubes and fittings, to be welded.
Open welding heads were conceived as a tool for orbital TIG welding with or without filler wire. The diameters of the tubes to be welded range from 8 mm up to 275 mm (ANSI 5/16" to 11"). Open welding heads of the U-type are equipped with a TIG-torch with gas diffuser. Excellent gas protection is achieved in the zone around the torch, which is covered by the shielding gas streaming out of the gas lens. During the welding process, the arc and wire impact can be observed and controlled directly by the operator. The asymmetrical design of the open heads allows welding to be carried out at a very short distance to a wall or bend. The positioning of the welding torch can be carried out manually or by means of motorised slides: Arc Voltage Control (AVC) and torch oscillation (OSC).
Polysoude TIG Cold and Hot with TIG welding and Plasma welding processes remain more than ever at the heart of our expertise in the conception of any arc TIG welder or automatic TIG welding machine as well as automated and robotic welding solutions.
Automation is our core business, and the result of our mastery of the above mentioned welding processes.
Over 25 welding application speclalists worldwide take special care of particularly difficult welding applications.
With over 60 years of experience in orbital tube & pipe welding equipment, Polysoude is active in the industrial sectors of Aeronautics/ Aerospace, Oil & Gas, Food, Beverage, in addition to Chemicals Pharmaceutics, Semi-Conductors, Heat Exchangers, Power Generation, to name but a few.
With Polysoude TIG and TIGer weld overlay/cladding, the main advantages of the TIG Cold and Hot Wire technology compared to other processes are the operation in all positions, the excellent surface quality, the clean result without spatter... zero defect Developed by Polysoude in 2013, the TIGe bi-cathode weld overlay technology is based on the TIG process and is designed to guarantee quality, reduce dilution and increase significantly the deposition rate with a welding speed over 1.700 mm/min.
All the above mentioned processes can be used with our vertical and horizontal cladding RIG installations.
Our weld overlay / cladding solutions are mainly used in the oil & gas sector as well as in the Power generation industry.
Our 25 experts in weld overlay / cladding are at your disposal worldwide to guide and support you in your projects.
