Magnatech's primary focus is the design and manufacture of equipment for orbital welding applications. Orbital means that the pipe is in a fixed position and cannot be rotated – the tool must move around the fixed pipe. Tube and pipe welding, especially in field applications, is possibly the single most demanding requirement of welders’ skills.
Magnatech LLC are an idustrial provider of solutions involving orbital tube and pipe welding products for low clearance areas.
The company was founded in 1946 to manufacture aerospace components including circular seals for extreme temperature and pressure applications, supporting initial development of the gas turbine engine. Now under a large group, we are happy to be Agents and Stockists of this brand.
The advent of nuclear power generation required the design of innovative technology to seal the nuclear pressure vessel. Magnatech developed circular metal seals to withstand the heat and pressure requirements. GTAW welding was required to join the ends of the tubular metal seals to form a complete circle. Magnatech designed an autogenous tube welder in 1969, allowing an employee with no welding skills to make perfect repeatable welds, with a zero defect criteria.
The success of the tube welder led Magnatech to develop a multipass pipe welding system. These products formed the basis for Magnatech’s new business focus. Thousands of systems have been sold worldwide to date.
Magnatech Today
Magnatech's primary focus is the design and manufacture of equipment for orbital welding applications. (Orbital means that the pipe is in a fixed position and cannot be rotated – the tool must move around the fixed pipe.) Tube and pipe welding, especially in field applications, is possibly the single most demanding requirement of welders’ skills. As with many skilled craftsmen, there are a declining number of welders worldwide. Mechanised equipment provides a practical solution, both by increasing individual productivity, and by augmenting the abilities of lesser skilled welders. Over 80% of welding costs are labour and overheads. Therefore, the only means for a manufacturer, fabricator, or contractor to meaningfully reduce costs is to automate.
Magnatech’s proprietary line of orbital pipe welding systems is the most compact available in the world today. We are experts in miniaturizing complex mechanisms which must be rugged enough for use by welding personnel in the harsh welding environment. Our compact digital power supplies provide precise control of the welding process, yet are tough enough to withstand field use.
The European Magnatech International office is in The Netherlands and can provide product demonstration, product training and in-depth project knowledge to support customers in Europe, Russia, the CIS countries and the Middle East.
Magnatech current products includes orbital weld heads for tube and pipe multi-pass welding starting at a diameter of .125 inches
