The New 201 Orbital Welding Power Supply from Axxair

Writer: George FickenGeorge Ficken




The all-new Axxair SAXX201 is a state-of-the-art orbital welding power supply designed for high-precision tube and small bore, thin-wall pipe welding with the pulsed GTAW process. Engineered for use in industries that demand precision and repeatability like food processing, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, offshore oil-gas and semiconductor manufacturing. This advanced power supply offers easy-to-use programming with automated weld schedule generation to ensure consistency and quality in welding results. With an intuitive 7in touchscreen interface, the SAXX201 or as well call it simply "the 201" mechanizes complex welding motions while maintaining quality with consistent welding results.


One of the standout features of the SAXX201 is its user-friendly touchscreen interface, which allows operators to quickly set up and modify welding parameters. The system is capable of storing and recalling welding programs, reducing setup time and ensuring repeatability across multiple jobs. The 201 offers a simple automatic weld schedule generation software to allow for quick weld schedule generation. In many applications, the base welding program created by the computer is accurate and acceptable however if more adjustments are desired by the operator, the 201 offers very precise welding adjustment parameters. The 201 supports closed-loop control, automatically adjusting power and gas flow to maintain optimal welding conditions, minimizing defects and material waste. The gas flow can be accurately and easily controlled with a knob on the front of the machine, both for the ID tube purge and for the welding head purge. This is a key feature when trying to achieve consistent welding results because the purge pressure inside of the tube directly affects concavity and convexity of the weld bead. Purge pressure details can be saved in the notes of each weld schedule to help all operators achieve the same results.





The SAXX201 is compatible with many of Axxair’s range of orbital welding heads, making it a versatile choice for various diameters and material types. Whether working with stainless steel, titanium, or other specialized alloys, the power supply provides precise current control to achieve high-quality welds with the desired heat input, penetration and overall appearance of the weld. It also features built-in data logging capabilities, which allow users to track and analyze welding performance for quality assurance and documentation purposes.


For professionals seeking portability, the SAXX201 is designed to be compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport between job sites. Despite its portability, it does not compromise on duty cycle, as it can deliver consistent welding performance even in demanding industrial environments all day long. The robust construction ensures durability, allowing for reliable operation over extended periods and protecting the machine during transit between job sites.





Overall, the Axxair SAXX201 orbital welding power supply is a top-tier solution for industries requiring high-precision orbital welding. Its combination of advanced mechanization, ease of use, and compatibility with multiple welding heads makes it an excellent investment for businesses aiming to improve productivity and weld quality. Whether you are welding tiny high-alloy tubes or small bore piping, the SAXX201 stands out as a reliable and efficient tool for orbital welding.


GSI sells, rents, services and provides training on the entire Axxair and Magnatech orbital welding machine lines including consumables, cutting tools and facing tools.
