FRANKLIN MODEL PTW72, a complete Automatic submerged dual-arc welding system. It can fixture and weld three-piece, built-up beams that consist of a web and two Flanges. The PTW-72 is capable of a web width of 72 inches and flange capacity of 20 inches wide x 1/4" thick. A PTW72 fabricating unit can reach 300 ft. The system includes a web loading gantry and web seam station. A tack station unit is also included.
Although they may look similar, if you really think about it, they are very different. Beam layout welding is usually heavier than I beams and more dense. This is because the beam layout welding can absorb and take in more force.
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.
Welding arm can be used for welding work. It is able to move horizontally on cross beam along with tool carriage. It is attached to the welding beam. The seam tracking device can be placed underneath welding beam.
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.
