Welding
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.

They may appear similar at first glance. But, if you examine everything carefully, you'll see that they are completely different. Beam layout welding is typically heavier and more dense than I beams. This is due to the fact that the former can absorb more force and the latter can take in less.

Beam Layout Welding can be used to join web sections using a 100% welded seam, to make long webs from shorter sections, or to join sections with different thicknesses. The pieces are placed against an edge guide, and then clamped together using air cylinders. The joint's lower side is held in place by the grooved copper backup plate. The welding head moves along the joint and weaves it using a single-wire submerged arc.
On the opposite ends of the web, the two flanges are placed on a conveyor section. They are then rotated to the vertical position and held in place by magnetic guide rollers. The three pieces are moved against a retractable stop, and hydraulically clamped in the correct relative positions. They are manually joined by the operator. The clamps are removed and the tack-welded beam sent to the welder. After setting the clamp positions for the first beam is done, the operator can control material movement using the control panel for any subsequent beams of the same dimensions.
The Gulf States Saw & Machine Company's Service Department holds the company together. It is the only one in the entire south. The current department has nearly 30 employees, including 24 Field Service Engineers strategically located throughout Capital's 12-state region. We offer an online Service Request Form to expedite your needs. In addition to several team members answering customer calls. These steps are why top-tier machine tool builders appreciate Capital's superior quality team and their pursuit of excellent service.
Welding or bolting are the most common methods of achieving this. The connection would be made from the underside of each flange or web. You could join them to improve or increase the strength of the support, or for it be possible to cover more components.
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.
