The CRUXWELD WeldOrbit 360 is a compact flange welding machine and oscillating carriage on magnetic four-wheel drive. A pendulum oscillator weaves the torch up to ±60 mm while the carriage travels round pipes, flanges, vessels and fittings at 50–750 mm/min. Fit a plasma or oxy-fuel torch and it cuts and bevels up to 45°.

Flange-to-pipe and girth joints are hard to weld well by hand: the welder has to keep moving round the joint, change body position and still hold the same weave. The WeldOrbit 360 does the travelling. Its magnetic wheel drive holds the carriage on the steel work while it drives round the joint, and the pendulum oscillator swings the torch across it at a set width, speed and dwell.
A low centre of gravity and a high-strength magnet keep it stable, and the compact body fits into tight spaces. All the settings sit on a remote control box, so the operator can adjust the weave without reaching over the arc.
On a circular joint the torch has to keep the same angle to the groove as the carriage goes round. The WeldOrbit 360 swings the torch from a pivot in a pendulum arc, driven by a DC 24 V swing motor with a stepper oscillating motor — a weave that suits corner joints such as flange-to-pipe welds.
Watch one lap of a flange-to-pipe weld. The magnetic wheels keep the carriage on the steel as it drives round the joint, through flat, vertical and overhead, while the pendulum oscillator weaves the torch across the groove. The bead closes the full circle without the welder moving round the pipe.

Preparing pipe ends first? See the BEVO 240 ID mounted pipe beveling machine. For long seams on tanks with a flexible track, see the DynaFlex 100S; for straight seams compare the DynaSwing 100K, DynaMove 45K and Dynex 5M.
MODE
Press Mode on the control box to pick the weave; a lamp beside each pattern shows which one is active.
