FRANKLIN MODEL PTW72 is a complete Automatic Submerged Twin-arc Welding System. It can fixture and weld three-piece built-up beams made up of a web, two flanges and a web. The PTW-72 can hold 72 inches of web and has flange capacities up to 20 inches wide x 1 inch thick. The length of a complete PTW72 fabricating cell is up to 300 ft. It includes a web loading gantry with web seam station, tackstation unit, 4020 CNC Flange Loading Gantry, and a PTW72 Pull Thru welder with CNC controls.
Southern States Machinery has served manufacturers and fabricators since 1995. We are experts in fabrication and machine tools technology. We have an office in North Carolina as well as an office Florida. This gives us the ability to support and sell the most recent fabrication technology.
This allows you to produce custom beams with minimal delay for changing beam shapes or sizes. Beam Layout Welding allows you to increase your productivity on both straight beams as well as tapered beams. The system automatically welds the beam's two flanges together at once. This gives you the penetration you need up to 1/2" web and 1 1/2" flange in one operation. The PHI system produces an inter-flange fillet. Welds meet all construction codes and are uniform.
A typical Beam Layout welding system has 18 conveyor segments. Six of the sections are motorized, and drive the rollers with sprockets. Ten are motorized, and connected by chains to adjoining motorized sections. Two are inactive.
H beams have different uses than I beams. Therefore, H beams can be used in different applications. In order to make an H beam welding system, there are several weld heads arranged next to each other.
H beams are typically thinner than H beams. The H beam's top flange and its bottom flange stick out more from the web than the I beam's. However, the flanges for H beams are both shorter and narrower.

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.
