Although actual production capacity depends on the size of the beams to be made, the typical output is approximately 2,000 tons per month and only three workers work an eight-hour shift.
PLCs provide the flexibility, accuracy, reliability, versatility, quality, and quick modification of the parameters for different types of welding applications. You can also program Beam Layout Welding parameters to different beam sections through the panel view screens.
Welding arm, which is the main part of welding work, can move horizontally along cross beam, together with tool carriage. Also, it can move up or down using the directional wheels on the tool carriage. It is mounted under the welding beam. Seam tracking device has the function of automatic track, which can maintain a suitable distance between welding gun & welding seam. Also, it has an auto compensation function for Hbeam deformation.
H beams have different uses than I beams. Therefore, H beams can be used in different applications. In order to make an H beam welding system, there are several weld heads arranged next to each other.
The tacking fixture can be used to assemble the beam before it is sent to the Main welder. The web is brought in from the seam welded and flange storage racks. They are then moved to the tacking fixture where they are placed before tacking the beam's leading edge. A manual operator can load the flanges on conveyors, or an automated process using PHI’s flange-loading Gantry.
Beam Layout Welding makes it possible to join web sections together with a 100% welded seam. The edges of the two pieces are used as guides and the air cylinders clamp them in place. The grooved copper backup plate is placed against the lower end of the joint. The welding head follows the joint and welds by a single-wire, submergedarc.
At Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., we understand that no two fabricators have the same need – as processes and nature of tasks may differ. We pulled together only the best of structural fabrication machines suited to your individual need. No matter what your choice range is, we’ve got you covered!
A welded beam consists of three individual sections of steel – a web, a top flange and a bottom flange. These segments are merged together with deep fillet welds to create an incredibly robust building material.
