The World's First
Copper Fusion Weld
Consistent Superior
Welds
• Copper orbital welding is ideally
suited for small diameter tubing.
• Copper orbital welding is ideally
suited for production style welding.
• Clean inside and out
• Repeatable and consistent results
• Low leak rate
No Fillers
Required
• CSI’s copper welding is true copper
fusion welding.
• There are no filler materials.
• We are fusion welding copper
fittings to copper tubing.
• The result is a fusion weld that is
stronger than the material around it.
• Superior tensile strength
Reliable
Performance
• CSI’s Lightning series weld heads are
based on proven industry standard
technology.
• Super cooling technology quickly
dissipates heat.
• Heavy duty design means it’s built to last.
• Document and program library
• Low operation hazards
WHY COPPER?
NFPA99 lists 2 acceptable methods of joining copper tubing: Brazing & Orbital
Welding.
As a company that supports Orbital Welding, the question we asked was why
not orbital weld copper?
Orbital welding is:
• Consistent
• Repeatable
• An industry staple.
As an augmentation to brazing, copper welding
• Takes advantage of existing orbital welding technology
• works well on small diameter tubing.
• ideal for production style welding.
• gives installers another tool for joining copper tubing.

WHERE WE STARTED
In 2018 we decided to try to develop a process to weld copper. There are several metallurgical issues that make it hard to orbitally weld. It didn’t go very well.
We felt that if we could create a process to weld copper, we could augment the industry’s brazing by providing a consistent repeatable process that takes advantage of industry accepted technology and gives contractors the ability to weld copper in volume reliably and consistently.
We learned lessons. For instance, you can't weld copper with a traditional power supply. You can’t weld it with a traditional composite weld heads. You can’t orbital weld copper the same way you can stainless. It was time for the technology to advance so we started developing that new technology.
HOW WE GOT HERE
IPS-200 Power Supply
Key improvements to the IPS-200 include advanced inverter technology, which produces the highest level of amperage output in its class. An industrial grade PLC allows for repeatable program performance and an unmatched arc control, producing a signal that is head and shoulders above the competition. Copper orbital welding requires consistent performance at higher amperage than traditional orbital welding and the CSI IPS200 delivers.
LS 1000/4000 Weld Heads
Our patented super cooled weld heads can handle the heat. The super cooling technology means the heat is concentrated in the weld and in the cartridge, not in the head itself. After delivering 180 amps on a 1.5” elbow, the rotor is still cool enough to touch. This give you the flexibility to perform back to back welds in the
time it takes to reposition the head to the next weld.
FIT-UP TOOL
Conductivity is crucial in orbital welding, and fittings can vary in size, ovality, and quality. Our patented fit-up saddles eliminate the guess work by ensuring that your fittings are round and that you have maxim conductivity between the fitting and the tube, ensuring the best copper orbital weld possible.
CSI WELD CART
Delivered to your site as part of the system, our cart is portable and can operate on site. The cart comes with a bottle rack so that the set up is an all-in-one solution.
