Pipemaster 516 – Power Source for Orbital Weldheads

The latest generation of Pipemaster controllers are the result of a new direction in power source design. The Pipemaster 516 brings the benefits of digital technology to the orbital welding customer: unparalleled accuracy, repeatability, and reliability. Digital technology forever eliminates the need for periodic weld head calibration – motor speeds and response characteristics remain accurate and stable regardless of wear, and weld heads can be interchanged without time-consuming calibration.

Features
