Corrugated Metal Hose Production

Automatic Welding Solutions for Corrugated Metal Hoses

Customized TIG and laser welding systems for stable, repeatable corrugated hose production.

 
Challenges in Corrugated Hose Welding

Traditional manual welding is no longer enough for modern hose production.

Welding corrugated metal hoses presents unique challenges due to thin walls, complex wave structures, and strict appearance requirements. As production volumes grow and quality standards become stricter, manufacturers need more stable and process-optimized welding methods.

Burn-through and deformation when welding thin-wall corrugated hoses

Inconsistent weld quality caused by manual TIG welding

Low efficiency and high labor costs for long or large-diameter hoses

Oxidation, discoloration, or uneven weld seams

Difficulty reusing scrap hose sections or extending hose length

Solution Details

Choose the right process based on hose structure, joint type, and quality target.

A cost-effective process for hose-to-hose joining and scrap reuse.

What It Is

TIG butt welding is a widely used process for joining two corrugated hose sections without external braid. It can be configured with either a rotating welding torch or a rotating workpiece, depending on hose size and production requirements.

Typical Applications

Why This Process / Key Benefits

The stable choice for circumferential hose-to-fitting welding.

What It Is

Orbital TIG welding is an automated process for circumferential welding of corrugated hoses to fittings. It typically uses a rotating welding torch, while a rotating workpiece with a fixed torch can also be applied to ensure uniform heat distribution and stable weld penetration.

Typical Applications

Why This Process / Key Benefits

The precision solution for thin-wall hoses and high-quality seams.

What It Is

Laser welding is a high-precision welding process designed for thin-walled corrugated hoses and hose-to-fitting applications. It uses a concentrated energy beam to achieve fast, clean, and controlled welding.

Typical Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from corrugated hose manufacturers.

Can corrugated hoses be welded automatically?

Yes. With proper fixturing, process control, and parameter optimization, corrugated hoses can be welded automatically with stable and repeatable quality.

Which welding method is best for thin-wall corrugated hoses?

Laser welding is generally preferred for thin-wall hoses due to its low heat input and clean weld appearance. TIG welding may also be suitable depending on wall thickness and application.

Is orbital TIG welding suitable for long corrugated hoses?

Yes. Orbital TIG welding is an effective and cost-efficient solution for long or large-diameter corrugated hoses where manual welding is inconsistent.

Can welding parameters be customized for different hose sizes?

Absolutely. All our welding solutions are customized based on hose diameter, wall thickness, material, and production requirements.

What is the difference between automated TIG welding and automated laser welding for corrugated metal hoses?

TIG welding offers stable heat control and strong welds with good tolerance to joint gap variations, while laser welding provides lower heat input, narrower seams, and much higher speed for thin-walled hoses with strict appearance requirements.
