Orbital TIG Tack Staplers
Orbital Service TIG Tack Staplers are precision tube alignment clamps designed to simplify fit-up and tack welding preparation for TIG and orbital welding applications.
These stainless steel tack welding pliers securely position tube and fitting joints before welding, helping operators maintain alignment, reduce setup time, and improve consistency during tube assembly.
Available in narrow jaw and wide jaw configurations, TIG Tack Staplers support tube diameters from Ø 4 mm to Ø 114.3 mm (0.157" to 4.5"), making them suitable for applications ranging from micro-diameter tubing to larger process piping assemblies.
Built for demanding fabrication environments, TIG Tack Staplers provide a lightweight and reliable solution for precision welding preparation, hygienic piping systems, and orbital welding applications where accurate fit-up is essential.
