System advantages� It's unique – A �ne-tuned, ready-to-weld EWM orbital welding
system:– Patented pipeSolution welding process– alpha Q multiprocess MIG/MAG welding machine with one
or two wire feed units– AMT automated welding torch– Orbital pipe welding carriage– Control unit for the pipe welding carriage– Remote control for welding machine and pipe welding
carriage– Welding consumablesUniversal in use – In the �eld (construction site), for pipes laidin the ground, in pipe construction and in the workshop100% X-ray-proof with a 5x increase in the deposition ratethanks to pipeSolution (in comparison to manual TIG (GTAW))Large cost reduction � in comparison to TIG, MMA andvertical-down weldingIncrease in quality � in comparison to vertical-down weldingThe reproducibility, consistency and precision of the system iscomparable to that of robot weldingX-ray-proof weld seams are ensured by the pipeTruck systemand the pipeSolution process, and thereby ful�l the followingrecognised international standards, including, but not limitedto:
ASME V, B31.3, API 1104 (Code Specs), ASTM E 2373,B31 Case 181, Code Case 2235, DINEN, EN ISO 17640,EN ISO 10863, Pr EN ISO 13588, DICONDE

pipeTruck – Top-quality, optimally safe orbital welding
pipeTruck system� Considerable reduction in set-up time – The 14-kg tractor
is placed e¡ortlessly on the track system and can beclamped in quicklyExtremely long service life – The track system is madeof stainless steel and is available for almost all pipe sizes(DN300 and larger)High precision of the orbiting speed, linear oscillatingmotion with adjustable frequency and dwell timesSeam can be accessed at any time thanks to thearrangement of the welding system on the tractor sideAll electronic control elements for the motor controlswork together in an automated cycle, but they also workindividually

pipeTruck RC3 remote control� Standard remote control gives the operator the space
he/she needs to observe the entire orbital seam creationprocess and to make corrections
pipeTruck applicationsThe alpha Q achieves ultimate perfection in root, �ll and�nal pass weldingPipe welding in any positionRoot welding with pipeSolution and solid wireFill and �nal pass welding with pulse or standard arc and¦ux cored and solid wireWire diameter: 1.0 to 1.6 mmPipe diameters of DN300 and upTrack systems for all pipe sizes from DN300 and upPipes can be welded automatically and in high quality inall wall thicknesses
