The flanges on an H beam are typically thicker. This means they can be used for heavier or larger loads than normal. Additionally, I beams' flanges have an inclination which helped to label them as an "I beam". H beams have flattened and leveled flanges.
Each conveyor section can hold approximately 4,000 pounds. To minimize wear caused by friction between turning rollers and slower-moving beams at the welder exit, conveyor speeds must be synchronized.
Do you still think that an H beam is the exact same thing as an I beam? You will find out more below. A single piece of plywood is all you need to see the importance of I beams. Place the plywood in a place where both its longitudinal ends can be supported only at the edge.
Try standing in the middle of the plywood while it's still there. It may not be possible to lift it off the plywood. You can add strength and support by placing one strip of Styrofoam under the plywood and another layer of plywood below it.
The WS-72 web-seamer station has a Lincoln Power Wave AC/DC welding machine and Max-Sa controls. Unique magnets pull web plates to the copper backing-up bar. Copper back-up bars are designed with a small flux groove that is fixed into an aluminum water-cooled bar.
It is more popular than its laser beam welding counterpart. However, there are cases where EBW machines prove to be more efficient and advantageous. It's called "I beam" and it can be seen front-facing.
