Beam Layout Welding Basics

Beam Layout Welding Techniques






You may be wrong if you think an H beam and an I beam are the same thing. Below, we'll explain it better. Imagine a single piece plywood to understand the importance I beams. Place the plywood so that its longitudinal ends only support at the edge.








The two flanges will be placed on the conveyor section at opposite ends of web. The three pieces are positioned against a retractable stopping device and hydraulically clamped to their respective positions. The operator manually tack-welds them together. The clamps are released and the tack-welded beam can be sent to the welder. After setting up the clamp positions on the first beam, an operator controls material movement via the control panel. This is the same procedure for all subsequent beams.

What is the difference between plate and beam



H beams and I beams are more commonly used. It is not enough to conclude that H beams have superior quality and are more economical than I beams. A H beam welding machine consists of several weld head aligned with one another.

The tacking fixture will be used to assemble beams prior to the MainWelder. The web, flanges and seam welder are taken to the tacking fixtures. You can either manually load the flanges from the conveyors by an operator, or you can use the PHI's automatic flange-loading Gantry.

What is beam and column



Clamps are released, and web is transmitted to the tacking device. Welding equipment is composed of a welding head and flux hopper, travel carriage with controls, and a 1,000 Amp electrical power source. Full-color projection systems with lasers can project all necessary information to enable operators to precisely tack-weld connections either on the beam of other connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
