Orbimatic has introduced the ORB1000 Oxygen Analyser into its range of equipment. The ORB1000 is supplied in a robust ABS case which houses the main unit and all accessories. The unit interfaces directly into the ORBIMAT C range of orbital welding power supplies with not additional interfacing required. This can be used to ensure the internal purge of a tube is pure before welding can commence. The ORB1000 uses a long life heated zirconium sensor which a life expectancy of at least five years. An audible alarm is included to alert the welder should the oxygen level of the internal purge raise during the welding cycle. The unit will measure down to 1ppm and is calibrated down to 10ppm and starts measuring at around 0.1%. The sensor reacts instantly to change in oxygen level and displays shows changing level instantaneously. As well as being used with the ORBIMAT C orbital welding power supplies the unit can be used as a stand-alone unit for connection to welding systems or enclosures.
