Orbital Welding System offers intelligent features.
March 30, 2009 -
Tubemaster 514B can operate analog heads, using tachometer motors, and digital encoder motors. This allows operation of weld heads from other manufacturers, with drop-down model selection and autoprogramming. Also, on-screen calibration of competitor Heads eliminates trim potentiometer adjustments. Software upgrades can be sent as email attachments or transferred using USB drive, and system also supports USB keyboard. Teach mode and total program deletion options are also standard.

New Model Orbital Welding System Available
Magnatech has released the Tubemaster 514B Model for production. This model replaces the successful 514A Model, first introduced in 2005. The new model has the ability to operate both analog Heads (using tachometer motors), as well as Magnatech's current digital encoder motors. This allows the operation of many weld Heads from other manufacturers, with "drop-down" model selection and autoprogramming for these other Heads. On-screen calibration of competitor Heads eliminates trim potentiometer adjustments. The 514B operates ten different Magnatech Head models, a manual tack welding torch, and many competitors' Heads.
Software upgrades can now be sent as email attachments, and transferred using a standard USB "key" drive. A USB keyboard may now be connected to enter text in addition to the standard method.
"Teach" mode has been added for programming open-arc heads with wire feed.
With the earlier model, tack welding immediately led into the start of a weld program. Now a user can simply tack weld tubes (4 or 8 tacks), without weld out, if desired.
Some contractors prefer to remove all unused programs from memory on a new job site to eliminate mistakes. A new delete option allows the deletion of all old programs from memory in one step; In addition, a group of programs can be copied from the USB key to speed downloading programs to multiple systems.
