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.
With minimal delays, you can now produce custom beams in a continuous fashion with no need to change beam sizes or shapes. Beam Layout Welding increases productivity for both tapered and straight beams. Automatically welds both the beam's flanges at once. This allows for the maximum penetration on up to 1/2" web and 1 1/2" flange. All this in just one pass and only one side. The PHI system creates a fillet between the web and the flange. The welds are uniform and meet the requirements of construction codes.
The tacking fixture is used for assembly of the beam before the Main Welder. The web and the flanges are taken from the seam welder or flange storage racks, and then transported to the tacking fixture. The conveyors can be loaded manually or automatically by an operator using PHI's Flange-loading Gantry.
An average Beam Layout Welding System has 18 conveyor sections. Six of these sections are motorized and drive the rollers using sprockets or chains. Ten motorized sections are connected by chains to the adjacent motorized sections. Two of them are inactive.
An Automated Structural Steel Beam Welding System, also known as an automated structural steel beam welding system, is a robot-operated robotic welding system for structural steel fabricators. It is compact in size, fully robotically automated and integrated with dedicated software. All sizes of fabrication shops now have the option to use robotic welding to solve their weld production problems.
You can try standing on the plywood middle while it is in that position. You may not be able to break it. For extra strength and support, you can place one piece of Styrofoam beneath the plywood and another plywood underneath it.
This is typically done by welding or bolting. The connection would take place under each of the flanges, webs, and/or bevel. The purpose of joining them is to increase or decrease the support range and strength, or to allow it to cover a wider array of components or parts.
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.
