Product Overview
Used Dimetrics Centaur 75 Orbital Welding Sequence Controllers – Models 7001 & 7008
The Dimetrics Centaur 75 system includes two sequence controller units, Model 7001 and Model 7008, designed for precision orbital welding control. These controllers manage weld sequences, timing, and system coordination in automated tube and pipe welding applications.
Dimetrics was known for its engineering in orbital welding systems during the rise of automated manufacturing and aerospace-grade fabrication. The Centaur 75 controllers were integral components in high-spec welding environments, offering programmable control for repeatable weld cycles.
Product Condition
These units have been visually inspected and appear in good overall condition. No operational testing has been performed. Surfaces and connectors are intact, and housings show minor signs of handling from prior use. Offered as-is, based on external inspection only.
Product Overview
The Centaur 75 controllers operate as the command center for Dimetrics orbital welding systems, regulating sequence timing, torch motion, and interface signals between power supplies and weld heads. Models 7001 and 7008 were developed for modular use, allowing system configuration for varying weld geometries and process requirements. Their robust build reflects Dimetrics’ industrial design philosophy—precision through repeatability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these controllers operationally tested?
No, they have not been tested. They have been visually inspected only and are offered as-is.
Can Models 7001 and 7008 be used together?
Yes. In the Centaur 75 system, the two models often work in coordination to manage different parts of the weld sequence or control architecture.
What does a sequence controller do in an orbital welding system?
It regulates timing, relay signals, and control logic to ensure consistent weld performance across automated cycles.
What is the power requirement?
Typically 120V input with low-voltage control signal outputs, but specifications should be confirmed from system documentation or labels on each unit.
Who used Dimetrics equipment?
Dimetrics systems were widely used in aerospace, semiconductor, and pharmaceutical manufacturing for precision orbital welding.
Once at the heart of high-spec welding systems, these Centaur 75 controllers carry the precision DNA of Dimetrics’ automation era—ready for the next technician who knows how to bring them back into sync.
