Vermaat Technics Travel Bands

Precision travel-band systems for oil & gas, water, and hydrogen pipelines

Automated orbital welding succeeds or fails on the smoothness of its travel path. Vermaat Technics travel bands wrap tightly around the pipe to form a rigid, low-friction track that allows the welding bug to position itself exactly where required. Because every band is engineered and manufactured entirely in-house, we control quality at each step, from raw-material selection to final inspection, and can tailor the solution to any outside diameter upwards from 5 inch.

Each travel band begins as a flat piece of sheet metal that gets laser cut on our state of the art laser machine. Precision-machined stand-offs keep the band clear of pipe coatings, while balanced geometry eliminates vibration so weld beads remain uniform.

Although optimised for our own Veraweld bugs, Vermaat Technics travel bands can be adapted—through minor modifications or full custom design—to work seamlessly with other orbital welding, coating or inspection machines. Simply tell us your specifications, and our engineers will configure a made-to-measure solution.

Choosing the right travel band is straightforward: start with your pipe’s outside diameter and base material, then consider the type of pipe coating and any pre-heat temperature. Our team matches those specifications to the ideal hinge style, latch type, and stand-off height, creating  a travel-band package that shortens setup time and raises weld quality.

Because design, machining, finishing, and QA all happen under one roof, lead times stay short and accountability is clear. Contact Vermaat Technics for a fast quote or an engineering consultation, and discover how our travel bands keep your welds—and your schedule—on track.
