They are generally thinner than H beams when it comes to the web, the center structure or the height I beams. The web is thinner than H beams because the top and bottom flanges of an H beam are farther apart. I beams have flanges that are shorter and narrower.
Traditional fitting requires that a qualified fitter reads and understands the assembly drawing and then pulls out the measuring tape to mark the beam. Laser projection systems project detailed information directly onto the beam. This allows an operator with limited training to align the connection with the line and tack-weld as needed.

An Automated Structural Steel Beam Welding System (ASSW) is a robotic welding system that's designed for structural steel fabricators. It can be used in small or large shops with varying capacities. It has a small footprint and complete robotic automation. The system can also be integrated with special software. Robotic welding can be used to solve all kinds of welding problems in fabrication shops.
A typical Beam Layout welding system has 18 conveyor sections. Six motorized sections drive the rollers via sprockets, chains and other means. Ten motorized sections can be connected to each other by connecting chains. Two remain idle.
Beam Layout Welding software can be downloaded remotely via a networked PC. The program also contains a data logger that keeps a log of machine operations for a day. This option allows the production of beams up to 84 inches in size, instead of the 72 inch standard. The system can be modified to support larger web sizes.
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.
