Braided Metal Hose Automated Welding Solutions

Braided metal hoses consist of multiple welded components, which makes welding process selection critical to sealing performance and service life.

In automated production, different TIG welding processes are applied depending on hose design, batch volume, and quality requirements

Two-Stage Hose Welding

Two-stage TIG welding: first hose-to-fitting without braids, then braid and neck ring welding. Ensures precision and strong welds for complex hoses.

New to the One-Shot Braided Hose Welding?

In the one-shot welding process, the hose, braid, ferrule/neck ring, and fitting are welded simultaneously in one continuous TIG welding cycle. This method minimizes handling steps, reduces cycle time, and ensures consistent weld quality across large production batches.

One-shot welding is not recommended for highly customized, low-volume hose assemblies.

Your Traditional Way Of Sealing Welding + Attachment Welding Of Metal Hoses?

This system follows the traditional two-step welding process, performing sealing welding first and then attachment welding. It is ideal for manufacturers handling multiple hose types, mixed batches, or customized specifications.

Traditional sealing & attachment welding may have longer cycle time compared to one-shot processes.

Key Advantages:

-Wide size range

-Quick changeover between hose types

-Stable weld quality for high-mix, low-volume production

Two-Stage TIG Welding for Metal Hoses

Designed for demanding applications in food, medical, semiconductor, and military industries, two-stage TIG welding ensures superior precision and weld strength.
The process first welds the hose to the fitting without braids, then completes braid and neck ring welding for maximum reliability. Two-stage is typically used for critical applications.

Our automated braided metal hose welding systems are trusted by manufacturers across industries where leak-tightness, consistency, and reliability are critical:

Process Validation Before Machine Investment

Automated welding is not just about equipment selection —

welding feasibility and process stability must be validated before investment. Before investing in an automated welding system, we offer sample-based process validation to help you identify the most suitable welding solution.

By testing your hose samples, we help you:

  • Validate welding feasibility
  • Optimize welding parameters
  • Reduce investment risk

FAQ

One-shot welding welds the hose, braid, ferrule, and fitting in one continuous TIG welding operation, maximizing efficiency and consistency.

One-shot welding is optimized for speed and volume, completing the sealing and attachment welding in a single continuous operation. While traditional sealing and attachment welding offers the 2 steps sequentially and offers greater flexibility for customized hose designs, wider size ranges, and high-mix, low-volume production.

Yes. Depending on the process, automated systems can support hose sizes from DN6 up to DN300 or customized ranges.

Yes. Sample-based process validation is available before machine purchase.
