| Specialising in the manufacture of orbital TIG welding equipment, Orbimatic GmbH has released its Varioturn RS 80-1R precision welding lathe. These lathes are specifically designed for welding small thin wall circular components. The Varioturn has both torch carriage and head stock on linear carriages. They are easily adjustable and can be locked into position with a pneumatic lock system. The Varioturn also features a 300mm face plate as standard for attachment of tooling of a suitable chuck.
The torch carriage incorporates a pneumatic torch retract mechanism with a range of 150mm. The torch can also be precisely adjusted with an XY slide mechanism and can be tilted by up to 40�. The tail stock has a pneumatic advance for easy loading and unloading of components. The lathe is equipped with a cold wire feeder, comprising a drive unit, wire guide and micro-adjustable wire feed nozzle. The standard Varioturn can accommodate components of up to 1,000mm in length and 400mm in diameter. It will handle loads of 80kg at 100mm from the head stock and 40kg at the tail stock. The Varioturn can be controlled by the Orbimat C range of power supplies which will ensure a consistent current and rotation speed.
