Used Tubing Welders in Germany

Overview

Tubing welders are specialized machines for joining metal tubes using methods like TIG, MIG, resistance, or orbital welding. They deliver precise, repeatable, and leak-free joints for industries such as medical, aerospace, HVAC, and process piping. Units range from benchtop orbital welders for thin-wall stainless tubing to production-line systems with programmable cycles, purge control, rotation heads and weld monitoring for consistent quality.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used tubing welder?

Inspect power and control electronics, orbital head and drive components, condition of clamps and collets, purge/gas plumbing, and any visible wear. Request calibration records, sample welds, and verify software/firmware versions.

How do I confirm power and gas requirements?

Check the nameplate for voltage, phase and amperage. Confirm compatible shielding gas types, regulator fittings, and whether the unit needs single- or three-phase power or a specific compressor capacity.

How should a tubing welder be prepared for shipping?

Secure or remove fragile accessories, drain fluids, lock moving parts, protect fixtures and torches, crate the machine to limit vibration, and insure the shipment. Note any batteries or hazardous materials to the carrier.

What routine maintenance keeps a tubing welder reliable?

Regularly clean and inspect collets, torches, and seals; check purge lines for leaks; replace worn consumables; monitor cooling systems; perform periodic calibration and software updates as recommended by the manufacturer.

Are spare parts and service easy to find for used units?

Availability depends on make and model. Verify manufacturer support, local service providers, and availability of common consumables (electrodes, collets, seals). Keep serial numbers handy to source correct parts.
