The AXXAIR SATFX series closed-chamber orbital weld heads are engineered for high-purity tube welding, delivering precise, repeatable TIG welds for thin-wall tubing and pipe systems. Designed for automated orbital welding applications, these weld heads provide consistent weld quality with excellent shielding gas protection, making them ideal for industries where cleanliness and weld integrity are critical.
The SATFX series accommodates a wide range of tube and pipe sizes, from 1/4″ to 6″ outside diameter, depending on the model. Each weld head features a fully enclosed welding chamber that maintains an inert gas environment to minimize oxidation and ensure clean, high-quality welds. The heads operate with grease-free components, making them suitable for cleanroom and high-purity process environments.
For ease of operation, SATFX weld heads include integrated handle-mounted controls, allowing the operator to manage start/stop functions, gas purge, and manual rotor rotation directly from the weld head. Their compact, lightweight, and water-cooled design allows reliable operation in tight workspaces while maintaining consistent performance during extended welding cycles.
Satfx weld heads:
Satfx-52
The SATFX-52 is a compact orbital welding head designed for high performance in restricted spaces. With a working range of 1/4″ to 2″, it serves industries such as aerospace, automotive, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Its grease-free operation supports clean room compatibility, while the closed chamber design provides excellent gas shielding and minimal weld discoloration. This combination ensures consistent, high-quality welds in limited working areas.
Satfx-76
The SATFX-76 is AXXAIR’s mid-range orbital welding solution, built to handle tube and pipe sizes from 1/4″ to 3″. Its 24 ft cable provides outstanding flexibility and reach, making it ideal for a variety of welding environments.
Designed to be lightweight, reliable, and user-friendly, the SATFX-76 ensures consistent performance and high-quality weld results every time.
Satfx-115
Engineered for precision, the SATFX-115 weld head produces reliable, high-quality welds on tubes and pipes from 1/4″ to 4.5″ in diameter. It is ideal for applications in industries including aerospace, automotive, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
The compact, lightweight construction makes it easy to operate in tight working areas and allows for straightforward integration with automated welding solutions.
satfx-170
The SATFX-170, the largest weld head in the SATFX lineup, is designed for welding tubes and pipes from 1.5″ to 6″ in diameter. Its adjustable latching system helps compensate for the ovality commonly found in larger-diameter materials.
The weld head also features an integrated tungsten electrode adjustment, allowing precise left-to-right positioning for accurate weld setup. Dual ergonomic handles make the unit easier to maneuver and position during operation.
With two pivoting viewing windows equipped with welding glass, the SATFX-170 provides excellent visibility and control throughout the welding process.
With their combination of precision control, clean operation, and durable construction, AXXAIR SATFX weld heads are widely used in industries such as pharmaceutical processing, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, and other high-purity piping applications.
