Gulf States Saw & Machine Company, the largest distributor of metal fabrication & robotic welding in the South. Since over 30 years, we have been committed to providing the best technology and top-quality service.
An H beam's flanges are usually thicker than the normal, so they can be used in applications that need to support heavier and larger weights. The flanges on I beams are also inclined, which is why they were labeled as "I" beams. H beams on the other hand have flattened, leveled Flanges.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co is the global leader in structural steel fabrication technology. Beam Layout Welding machines are a key advantage for steel fabricators. They can optimize tonnage and maintain an edge in the steel industry.
FRANKLIN MODEL PTW72 - This is a complete Automatic, submerged twin-arc welder system. It is used to fixturing and welding three-piece constructed-up beams. These beams are composed of a web with two flanges. The PTW-72 web has a width of 72 inches, and the flanges are 20 inches wide x one inch thick. A PTW-72 fabrication cell can span up to 300 ft. The system consists a web loading gantry (web seam station), tack station units, 4020 CNC flange loader gantry, and a PTW-72 pull thru welder with cnc controls.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co. are world leaders in the field of structural steel fabrication technology. Beam Layout Welding machines give steel fabricators an advantage in the steel sector and allow them to maximize tonnage capacity.
The TS72 tack up station is hydraulically clamped and pre-fixes prefabricated beans' leading edges. Franklin 40 Series CNC Gantry provides automatic pick and place loading to flanges made from the Franklin CNC Fleece Line System. Franklin "60 Series gantries are capable of holding up to 60ft. of length and providing 75ft. travel storage.
The PLC offers the ability to quickly change parameters for different welding applications with ease, reliability, quality and versatility. Panel view screens can also be used to program the beam layout weld parameters for various beam sections.
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.
