Once clamps have been released, the web is then transferred to the tacking fixture. The equipment comprises a welding head, flux hopper and travel carriage. Controls are also included. A 1,000 Amp power source is also available. Full-color laser projection systems can project all the information an operator needs in order to accurately tackweld connections on the beam, or any other connections.

We can easily serve the ten-state area. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., Inc., a sister company to Alabama Tool & Supply Co., Inc., was founded in 1979. We are a family-owned business.
PLC can be used to program different welding applications. It provides accuracy, reliability and flexibility. Panel view screens are also used for programming beam layout welding parameters.
The strength of a beam is often determined by its web. This is the distance between the center and the beam. Because H beams tend to be thicker and more powerful, it is easy to conclude that they are stronger. But I beams offer greater and better flange resistance than H beams.
To create continuous beam production, the Conveyor System interconnects the Beam Layout Welding with Tacking Fixture, Automatic Welder and Tacking Fixture. Hydraulically controlled, the Conveyors are situated at the entry and exit of Seam Welder Tacking Fixture, Automatic Welder, as well as at the Seam Welder. These controls control the movement, direction and speed of the conveyors adjacent to them.
The Beam Layout Welding automated welding machine can be fully customized and used for joining heavy-duty structural steel boxes sections. This machine is ideal for the civil construction and oil & Gas industries. The Beam Layout Welding Machine is equipped to perform component clamping and rotation through the tailstock as well. Beam Layout Welding has a linear axis that controls XYZ, Z, and laser seam-tracking devices. There is also a wire feeding system. The integrated control and motor drives allow for full automation.
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.
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.
