The tacking fixture will be used to assemble beams prior to the MainWelder. The web, flanges and seam welder are taken to the tacking fixtures. You can either manually load the flanges from the conveyors by an operator, or you can use the PHI's automatic flange-loading Gantry.
The WS-72 is equipped with a Lincoln Power Wave AC/DC helder and Max-Sa controls. The WS-72 is equipped with unique magnets that pull web plates to copper back-up bars. The copper back up bar is made with a small flux groove. It is then fixed to an aluminum water-cooled subbar.

PLCs provide the flexibility, accuracy, reliability, versatility, quality, and quick modification of the parameters for different types of welding applications. You can also program Beam Layout Welding parameters to different beam sections through the panel view screens.
They're usually thinner than H beams in terms of the web, or the center structure, or the height of I beams. An H beam's top and bottom flanges stick out farther from the web, while the flanges on I beams are shorter than those of H beams.
