Traditional fitting requires that a qualified fitter reads and understands the assembly drawing and then pulls out the measuring tape to mark the beam. Laser projection systems project detailed information directly onto the beam. This allows an operator with limited training to align the connection with the line and tack-weld as needed.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Company was established in Tampa, FL in 1984. Its mission is to help clients get the best products in the metal cutting sector. CMT's operations expanded to serve the whole south, with additional showrooms opening in Atlanta, GA and Dallas TX. Capital's presence can now be felt in 12 states, including Florida, South Carolina. Virginia, Mississippi. Tennessee. Texas. Georgia. North Carolina. Alabama. Louisiana. Oklahoma.
Beam layout welding can't be done manually. A H beam fabrication line/machine can handle multiple H beams simultaneously. It's a flat-laid machine, where long uncut plate are fed. The machine also handles the welding process of each plate to achieve the design requested.
There will always be H beam welding machines on the market, especially when you consider that there are more manufacturers! Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co is the only manufacturer you can trust. We have been in the industry over a decade and have had nothing but happy clients.
Beam Layout Welding can be used to join web sections using a 100% welded seam, to make long webs from shorter sections, or to join sections with different thicknesses. The pieces are placed against an edge guide, and then clamped together using air cylinders. The joint's lower side is held in place by the grooved copper backup plate. The welding head moves along the joint and weaves it using a single-wire submerged arc.
Beam layout welding is not just manual. An H beam fabrication line, or machine, can work on multiple H beams simultaneously. This flat-laid machine is used to feed long, uncut plates. The machine then handles welding each plate to achieve the desired design.
The Beam Layout Welding's Electrical Control Panel allows for maximum system control flexibility. You can operate the Welder in Manual Mode or Automatic Mode. The individual controls on the control panel allow you to set the order of operations in Manual Mode. Each welding head controller can also be used to set the welding parameters.
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.
