The Orbitec EVO 200 WP is a fully integrated orbital TIG welding controller combining a 200 A DC inverter, 10.1-inch color touchscreen, and Industry 4.0 connectivity in a single 16.8 kg unit. It belongs to the EVO Industry 4.0 series and supports automated orbital welding of tubes, pipes, and fittings with real-time parameter monitoring, automatic program generation, and comprehensive weld documentation.

What separates the WP from the LITE variant?

The EVO 200 WP is the fully featured variant with analogue Turbo Purge as standard, integrated wire feed card, external PC software for offline programming and QC analysis with QR code scanner support, and the ability to connect and control competitor weld heads. Digital Turbo Purge with continuous gas flow measurement and regulation is available as an option. The EVO 200 LITE provides the same core welding performance in a more basic configuration that can be field-upgraded with optional modules as requirements evolve.

How does the controller ensure weld quality and traceability?

All welding parameters — current, voltage, travel speed, time, rotation angle, shielding gas flow, cooling water, residual oxygen, and arc voltage control pressure — are monitored in real time and recorded to the 4 GB flash memory. The integrated thermal printer produces multilingual printouts comparing actual against target parameters for each weld. Data transfer via USB, LAN, or WLAN enables upload to central quality databases. A QR code scanner kit automates user login and program access for full operator traceability.

What automation and safety functions are built in?

The controller provides automatic weld program generation with intuitive user guidance in multiple languages (metric and imperial). Analogue Turbo Purge flushes the weld head cassette with increased gas flow before and after the arc, then precisely reduces flow before arc start. A permanent gas function protects the weld head and extends tungsten electrode life during high-productivity operation. The rotor stop function halts electrode rotation for operator safety, and the stable operating system prevents data loss during power interruptions with fast restart capability.
