CompactDual Orbital Welding Power Supply | Versatile Orbital & TIG System
The CompactDual by Orbitalservice is the new approach to orbital welding technology,
combining fully automated orbital capability with manual TIG welding in a single, field-ready unit. Designed and manufactured in Germany, it delivers consistent, high-quality weld performance without the need for multiple machines. For applications like small-bore piping, instrumentation tubing, and general fabrication, the CompactDual gives operators a practical way to handle both orbital and manual TIG work with one system. Whether in the shop or out in the field, it helps reduce setup time, save space, and keep jobs moving efficiently without compromising weld quality.
Built for Mobility Without Compromise
Weighing just over 15 kg, the CompactDual is built for welders who need a system that can
move with them effortlessly. Its durable construction, protective transport case, and optional trolley make it easy to handle in both shop and field environments.
Whether you're working in tight mechanical spaces or moving between jobs, the CompactDual is designed to be transported, set up, and put to work quickly without adding unnecessary bulk or complexity.
Intelligent Controls with Modern Interface
The CompactDual unit is designed to be straightforward and easy to use, with a modern
interface that makes setup and adjustment simple. Operators can quickly dial in parameters or create weld programs without navigating complicated menus.
The unit provides real-time feedback, including welding current, arc voltage and travel speed, which are all clearly displayed during operation. For applications requiring traceability, weld data can be recorded and exported to ensure consistent results are achieved to support quality control requirements.
Engineered for Precision Welding Applications
The CompactDual is well suited for applications where weld quality and consistency are critical. From stainless process piping to small-diameter tubing, it provides the control needed to create clean, repeatable welds across a range of materials. With support for pulsed TIG, oscillation, arc voltage control (AVC), and cold wire feeding, welders have the flexibility to fine-tune parameters based on the application. This level of control helps maintain consistent heat input, improve weld appearance, and reduce the risk of defects,
especially on thinner materials or high-spec jobs.
