Beam Layout Welding allows you to join different web sections with a 100% welded seam. It can also be used to create long webs out of short sections or join sections of different thickness. The two pieces to join are aligned against an edges guide and held in place by air cylinders. The copper backing-up plate with grooves is used to seal the joint. The welding head is positioned along the joint to weld it using a single wire submerged arc.
Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB) is an acronym that means the machine's parts are pre-engineered. People mistakenly think an H beam is identical to an I beam. But they are completely different in reality.
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.
The operator moves the beam to its starting position by using the "IN" conveyor and presses the "START” button. The entire sequence of operations will be automated, which includes positioning the welding heads and moving the beam at the right speed, starting and stopping the welding process on stationary and mobile sides, activating copper back-up assemblies, pressure cylinders and activating web holding.
The TS72 tack up station is hydraulically clamped and pre-fixes prefabricated beans' leading edges. Franklin 40 Series CNC Gantry provides automatic pick and place loading to flanges made from the Franklin CNC Fleece Line System. Franklin "60 Series gantries are capable of holding up to 60ft. of length and providing 75ft. travel storage.
Beam layout welding does not only require manual welding. In fact, an H beam fabrication or machine can be used to fabricate multiple H beams at once. This machine can be used to feed long uncut plates. Additionally, the machine handles the welding of each plate in order to reach the client's desired design.
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.
