Orbital Welding Device with Electrode Ring Segment

Abstract

The invention relates to an orbital welding device with a welding head that has a receptacle for positioning a joining area of two joining partners, in particular a fitting and a pipe end which joining partners are tubular at least in the joining area, wherein The welding head has an electrode ring segment which is arranged in the circumferential direction around the receptacle and is mounted in such a way that the electrode ring segment can be rotated about an imaginary longitudinal axis of the receptacle. The electrode ring segment has an electrode holder for a welding electrode and/or a welding electrode. The welding head has drive means, in particular one or more driven drive wheels, for driving the electrode ring segment about the imaginary longitudinal axis. The invention further relates to a system, with such an orbital welding device and an orbital welding method.
