Orbital welding is a specialized welding process primarily used for joining pipe and tubing, particularly in industries requiring high levels of cleanliness and precision, such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, semiconductor manufacturing, and aerospace. In orbital welding, a machine or welding head moves around the circumference of a pipe or tube while simultaneously feeding a filler material, if needed, to create a weld. The process is typically fully automated, ensuring consistent quality and repeatability, which is crucial in applications where weld integrity is vital.
