Flexi Hose Welder

Flexi Hose Welder - First choice for connector tube welding

One of the most difficult process in the hydraulic industry is to weld the flexible metallic hoses that not only requires high precision but also controlled skill to orchestrate the pattern of weld to fuse the initial layers. Once the fusion of all the three elements are done, i.e; the bellow, the mesh & the sleeve, then the connectors & the flange joints has to be welded along with wire feeding. And all these process has to go through high pressure leak test before forming the right joint post welding.

Flexi hose welder the has a vast range of welding area varying from 10mm to 300mm with absolutely no limitation on the length of the hose. The pattern weave by the tig torch is the most unique configuration of this system as this creates an interwoven beads as done by highly qualified weld professionals, thus creating a layer of exemplary weld bead. The system has been tested and certified by more than 5000 hours of actual production cycles.

Keeping the component stationary and rotating the torch along with the wire feeder gives a better control for the system to weld different patterns of weld bead at various angles around the periphery of the component both in fusion and wire feed modes.
