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 includes a tool carriage mechanism, a platform with a vertical column and an upper platform, seam tracking devices, wire feeding devices, wire reel supporter and flux recovery systems.
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.
The beam's strength will usually be determined by the web. It is the area at the center or height of the beam. Therefore, H beams will be stronger as they are thicker than H beams. However, I beams have greater flange resistence than H beams.
Thanks to years of experience in a wide array of industries and with a wide range of technology, we know how to help everyone from small job shops to large international brands utilize the latest equipment and technology. So no matter what type of machine you’re looking for, we can help design, specify, install and service just about any type of metal fabrication equipment.
There will always be H beam welding machines on the market, especially when you consider that there are more manufacturers! Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co is the only manufacturer you can trust. We have been in the industry over a decade and have had nothing but happy clients.
The Beam Layout Welding features an Electrical Control Panel that provides maximum system control flexibility. The Welder is capable of operating in either manual or automatic modes. You can set the sequence of operation using the individual controls on your control panel. The welding parameters can be set on each head controller individually.
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.
