Designed for GTAW applications, the AMI Model 15 is a rugged orbital weld head engineered for large-diameter pipe welding. With low radial and axial clearance, it is built for demanding field environments where consistent weld quality and repeatable results are critical. The Model 15 can weld pipe sizes from 3 inches (76 mm) OD to unlimited diameters, including flat plate applications.
The Model 15 incorporates a range of automated welding functions, including rotation, wire feed, automatic voltage control (AVC), cross-seam steering, and torch oscillation. It is available in multiple standard configurations and can be retrofit or customized with application-specific accessories to meet a wide range of welding requirements.
As part of a complete automated pipe welding system, the Model 15 can be paired with torch assemblies, precision guide rings, AMI power supplies, and other accessories to create a solution tailored to specific welding applications.
The weld head also includes several standard torch adjustment capabilities, such as cross-seam torch tilt, electrode-to-wire nozzle height adjustment, wire nozzle cross-seam adjustment, lead/lag adjustment, and adjustable wire entry angle. Multiple torch configurations are available, including single-wire entry, dual-wire entry, and remote viewing options, providing flexibility for different welding processes and environments.
Overall, the AMI Model 15 is a versatile orbital weld head designed for large-diameter pipe welding, combining automated control, flexible torch configurations, and system compatibility to support high-precision industrial welding applications.
