An exclusive Beam Layout Welding head design can be provided for crane beam producers. Crane beams feature a "C-channel" top flange with short sides that face inwards toward the beam.
After clamps are removed, web is passed to the tacking fixture. The welding equipment consists of a welding head with fluxhopper, travel carriage, controls, and a 1,000 Amp supply. Full-color, laser-projected systems will provide all the information required to accurately tackweld connections in the beam or other connections.
Each section of conveyor has a maximum load capacity of 4,000 lbs. Conveyor speeds and welder input speeds are synced to reduce conveyor wear due to friction between the turning roll and the slower-moving beam near the welder entrance.
A typical Beam Layout welding system has 18 conveyor sections. Six motorized sections drive the rollers via sprockets, chains and other means. Ten motorized sections can be connected to each other by connecting chains. Two remain idle.
The gantry frame is made up of the walking beams and columns as well as the upper platform. Each walking beam is driven by a motor reduction, which creates a dual-drive system. It makes the operation reliable and smooth. There are rails or racks on the platform that can be used as a support for the welding arms and tool carriages. The platform can accommodate two sets each of flux recovery machines and wires.
Beam layout welding, as well as fabrication machines, are auxiliary equipment. As such, their weight is too much for regular workers to carry. For those who don't know, electron beam welding is a method of welding where electrons are generated at high speeds by the use of electric field.
Beam layout welding does not only require manual welding. In fact, an H beam fabrication or machine can be used to fabricate multiple H beams at once. This machine can be used to feed long uncut plates. Additionally, the machine handles the welding of each plate in order to reach the client's desired design.
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.
