Orbital TIG Welding
Polysoude's orbital TIG welding systems automate precision tube and pipe joining for industries requiring ultra-high purity. Our solutions ensure consistent weld quality through programmable power sources and closed-chamber welding heads with titanium inserts. Applications span aerospace, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor manufacturing.
Automated Welding Solutions
We develop fully automated TIG and plasma welding systems with integrated robotics for high-volume production environments. These systems reduce heat input, preserve material properties, and feature Smart Welding Station interfaces for parameter control and data management in critical industries.
Weld Overlay/Cladding
Our TIGer weld overlay technology applies corrosion-resistant layers to components in oil & gas and power generation. This process achieves 12% dilution rates on first layers, with deposition rates up to 6kg/h, significantly lowering operational costs compared to traditional methods.
Tube End Preparation
Polysoude provides cutting, beveling, and facing equipment for optimal tube end preparation. These tools ensure leak-free joints and perfect alignment, essential for high-quality orbital welding in chemical, nuclear, and renewable energy applications.
Smart Welding Stations
Our P6 Smart Welding Stations combine advanced power sources with graphical user interfaces for real-time weld parameter control. These Industry 4.0-ready systems enable data acquisition, video monitoring, and seamless integration with quality management protocols.
