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.
