Gulf States Saw & Machine Company has the largest distribution network of Metal Fabrication & Robotic Welding products in the South. Over 30 years of experience in providing high-quality services and the most advanced technology to our customers.


The tacking fixture allows you to attach the beam to the Main Welder. The web and flanges can be brought from the seam-welder and flange storage shelves respectively. Once they are there, they are positioned at the tacking fixture before being tacked to the beam's leading edge. Operators or automatic PHI's flange loading Gantry can load the flanges onto the conveyors manually.

Beam Layout Welding Heat Source


H Beam layout welding equipment is more than a one-off piece. It is composed of many different parts with different functionalities and features. Beam layout machine manufacturers and suppliers use many different materials to produce their H beams. H beam welding machine are made mostly from different types of metal.

Beam Layout Welding program can be downloaded remotely over a network or connected PC. The software also comes with a 1-day data logger, which keeps track of the machine's operation. This option allows beams to be manufactured up to 84" instead of 72". All parts of the system have been modified to accommodate larger web sizes.

What is beam to beam connection in steel structure


The WS-72 Web seamer station comes equipped with a Lincoln Power Wave AC/DC Welder and Max-Sa Controls. The WS-72 uses unique magnets to pull the web plates towards the copper back-up bars. The copper back-up bar has a small flux groove, and is attached to an aluminum sub-bar that is water-cooled.

Traditional fitting requires an experienced fitter who can read and understand the assembly drawings, use the measuring tape and mark where the beam is. A laser projection system can project all information directly onto a beam, so an operator, who has limited training, can align and tack weld the connection with that line.

Area


The "IN" conveyor moves the beam from the beginning position to the destination. Next, the operator selects one the preset welding program (welding speed or wire speed) and presses "START". The total sequence of actions, including the movement of beam with welding speed, positioning the welding head, start and stop the welding process for stationery and moveable side, activation copper back up assemblies and pressure regulators, and the STOP operation, will all be done automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
