Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co. is the world leader in structural steel fabrication technology. Beam Layout Welding machines can be a competitive advantage in steel fabrication and optimize tonnage.
The beam's strength is determined by the web. This refers to the height or center of the beam. We can conclude that H beams are stronger because they are thicker and higher than H beams. However, I beams are stronger than H beams and have a greater flange resistance.
The underside of the H beam is equipped with a solid base that holds the metal plate and the weld heads pass through it. Here the flanges for the H beam are formed and cut. Next, web is formed from a long plate. The web is loaded onto a conveyor belt with the flanges.
As Gulf States Saw & Machine Company, our specialty is robotic welding plus different Industrial applications for Robotics such as Machine Tending and Material Handling. The Atlanta Technology Center serves as headquarters for Capital Robotics but we also maintain systems and conduct customer training in Dallas. Capital has consistently expanded technical staff members including welding engineers, application engineers, and service engineers.
Don't believe the myth that an H beam is the same as an I beam. You'll find more information below. To fully grasp the importance of I beams, you can imagine one piece of plywood. Placing the plywood at the edge of where its longitudinal ends are supported is ideal.
Traditional fitting requires a trained fitter to read and comprehend the assembly drawing, draw the measurement tape, and mark it. A laser projector system projects complete and detailed information directly onto the beam. With limited training, an operator can align the connection with projected lines and tack-weld where necessary.
The web, which is the center or height at the beam, usually determines the beam's strength. H beams are more strong because they are thicker. But, I beams have a better and more resistant flange than H beams.
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.
