It is fitted with a solid underneath that holds the plate of metal while the weldheads go through it. Here are the flanges that make up the H beam. The web is made using a long piece from plate. It is loaded onto a conveyor belt-like welder roller along with the Flanges.
Operator moves the beam towards the start position using the "IN” conveyor. Then, he presses the button to activate the "START" button. The whole sequence of operation, including positioning of the welder heads and welding speed, movement of the beam, activation of copper backup assemblies and pressure tubes, stop and start of the process on stationery or moveable sides and activation of web holding and STOP will be completed automatically.
The two flanges, which are located on the conveyor section opposite each other of the web's web, are rotated into vertical position by magnetic guide rollings. The three pieces can be moved to the right position by a hydraulic clamp. The operator manually joins them. The clamps can be released and the tack welded beam is sent to the welding station. After the initial adjustment of the clamp positions in the first beam beam, the operator controls all material movement through the control panel.
Actual production capacity will vary depending on the size and type beams being fabricated. However, the average output is 2,000 tonnes of steel per month with only three workers working an eight-hour shift.
The Beam Layout Welding's Electrical Control Panel allows for maximum system control flexibility. You can operate the Welder in Manual Mode or Automatic Mode. The individual controls on the control panel allow you to set the order of operations in Manual Mode. Each welding head controller can also be used to set the welding parameters.
At Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., we understand that no two fabricators have the same need – as processes and nature of tasks may differ. We pulled together only the best of structural fabrication machines suited to your individual need. No matter what your choice range is, we’ve got you covered!
While they might look very similar at first glance, you will soon realize that they are quite different once you take into account all the details. Beam layout welding tends to be heavier and denser that I beams. This means that beam layout welding is more capable of absorbing and taking in more force.
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.
