They are generally thinner than H beams when it comes to the web, the center structure or the height I beams. The web is thinner than H beams because the top and bottom flanges of an H beam are farther apart. I beams have flanges that are shorter and narrower.
In addition to selling machine tools, robotic systems and other fabrication equipment, we’re committed to education in order to help our customers stay competitive in a global marketplace. New trends are constantly coming out in manufacturing technology, and with the seminars, factory tours, and other programs we offer you as a client, you won’t have any trouble staying ahead of the pack.
The tacking fixture is used for assembly of the beam before the Main Welder. The web and the flanges are taken from the seam welder or flange storage racks, and then transported to the tacking fixture. The conveyors can be loaded manually or automatically by an operator using PHI's Flange-loading Gantry.
The upper platform, the columns and walking beams form the frame of the gantry. Each walking beam is controlled by a motor reducer. This creates a double drive system which is reliable and smooth. The platform has rails and racks at the front. These can be used to move the welder arms and tool carriages. You can also place two sets of flux recovery and wire machines on the platform.
The platform comes with rail guards and steps for easy access. This platform can be used to store flux and wire. It also allows the operator to load fluxhoppers, change reels, and make other adjustments. Add auxiliary equipment such as the PHI Flange Tilting Device or Beam Turning Device to improve your beam layout welding's speed, efficiency, and productivity.
We sell machine tools, robotics systems, and other fabrication equipment. But we also offer education to ensure our customers remain competitive in a global market. You will be able to stay ahead of the curve with our seminars, factory tours and other programs as a client.

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.
