Technical Advantages of Wuxi JACK H Beam Production Welding Line

A. Subject of this Product Slides Page on Wuxi JACK H Beam Line:

1. Purpose: This page is originated from introduction slides on our I H Beam Production Welding Line. It is for quick review on Usage/ Workpiece Specifications/ Technical Strong Points/ Process Technology/ Layout and Main types of Machine for H Beam Production, deployed in Wuxi JACK delivered I H Beam Line;
2. Goal: We expect this page of slides can be helpful to anyone who have interest on I H Beam Line and related equipment, and want to spend the least time to get a general picture on involved Machine for H Beam Production, either for the purpose of successful and high rewarding purchase, or just plan to have an overall idea first.

B. Extensive Use of Steel Structure Machine for H Beam Production:

1. Function and Finished Working Parts of I H Beam Production Welding Line:

1) Finished Workpieces: As its name suggests, I H Beam Line produces welded T/ I/ H Beam of light/ medium/ heavy duties, from the minimum 200mm web height, to the maximum 3000mm web height. These are the primary and fundamental workpieces applied in Steel Structure industry:
2) A piece of large welded H Beam, being manufactured from Wuxi JACK SAW welding Machine for H Beam Production: (Fig.1)

Fig1 H Beam Production Welding Line 14

2. Related Machine for H Beam Production:

1) Machines and Equipment in Traditional H Beam Line:

a) Z15/ Z18/ Z20 I H Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine;
b) LHC/ LHA/ LHT I H Beam Submerged Arc Welding Machine;
c) HYJ800/ HYJ40 motor drive, and YTJ40/ YTJ50/ YTJ60/ YTJ80 hydraulic drive I H Beam Flange Straightening Machine;
d) DX15xx series I H Beam End Face Milling Machine;
2) New Generation Machine for H Beam Production: Over the past 2 decades, there is a kind of newly developed efficient, compact and cost effective Equipment: PHJ and ZHJ models 3 in 1 H Beam Assembly Welding Straightening Integral Machine (H Beam 3 in 1 Fabrication Machine). This machine has numerous advantages in replacing traditional H Beam Production Welding Line, for producing light and medium duty welded T/ I/ H Beams;

3. Irreplaceable Capability of Conventional I H Beam Line:

1) Meanwhile, in the field of producing heavy duty welded H Beam, the long term applied H Beam Production Welding Line still is the solitary solution for steel structure customers:
2) Here, heavy duty welded H Beam means welding seam bigger than 12mm on finished T/ I/ H Beam, and needs to be completed with more than single time welding pass on finished working parts;
3) Such process technology entails application of 45° fillet welding in I H Beam Submerged Arc Welding Machine, which is the 2nd set of Machine for H Beam Production in traditional I H Beam Line:
4) 45° fillet welding on producing H Beam, in Wuxi JACK Submerged Arc Welding Machine for H Beam Production: (Fig.2)

C. Classification on Steel Structure I H Beam Production Welding Line:

Based on internal material transferring way among assembly/ welding/ straightening working zones of Machine for H Beam Production, the I H Beam Line can be classified into 2 general types of automatic and semi-automatic:

1. Automatic Steel Structure I H Beam Production Welding Line:

1) Feature: Workpieces flow through work stations by means of logistics units: Overturning equipment: 60°/ 90°/ 180° stationary or motor drive moving type, steel conveyor, etc.; The entire welded H Beam production is implemented fully automatically;
2) Advantages: Automatic I H Beam Line has the least degree of human intervention. WIP (Work In Progress) workpieces are manipulated for operation under machine control. The entire process is fulfilled with fully automatic and safe mode;
3) “Disadvantage”: Automatic I H Beam Line involves relative larger workshop land occupation and more investment on equipment and Machine for H Beam Production. Besides, update on its layout involves longer time;

2. Semi-Automatic Manual Steel Structure I H Beam Line:

1) Feature: The 3 core types of Machine for H Beam Production: Assembly/ welding/ straightening are arranged individually and flexibly;
2) Material Flow: WIP workpieces flow through H Beam Production Welding Line with operator hard job, with the help of traveling crane/ travel cart, and other types of overturning equipment;
3) Business Advantages: Compared with automatic line, semi-Automatic I H Beam Line has smaller land occupation, more flexible layout, and less investment. It is more applicable for MGPP (Multi-Generation Production Plan) on introducing Machine for H Beam Production step by step at customer site.

Slides 2: Fluent Process Flow in Wuxi JACK Steel Structure I H Beam Line:

1) This page of slides presents on graphic view on process technology route in producing welded H Beam, in both automatic and semi-automatic H Beam Line;
2) General speaking, it goes through 5 major steps, and involves operation on 5 major types of Machine for H Beam Production:

1. The 1^st Step: 1^stOperation Plate Cut Off with CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine:

1) This step is for cutting out raw materials on making welded T/ I/ H Beams, by means of Oxygen fuel flame cutting;
2) The long strip steel plates cut from carbon steel plate will be applied as flange and web of welded H Beam and T Beam;

2. The 2^nd Step: H Beam Fit Up and Stitch Welding in Assembly Machine for H Beam Production:

1) In this step, first one piece of flange and web respectively will be fit up and stitch welded into T Beam;
2) Then, the WIP (Work in process) T Beam is flipped 180°, and sent into the I H Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine again, by means of traveling crane;
3) The 2^nd piece of flange is loaded into the I H Beam Assembly Machine, to produce T Beam into H Beam;

3. The 3^rd Step: Large Current Submerged Arc Welding in SAW Machine for H Beam Production:

1) In Automatic I H Beam Production Welding Line:

a) Model and Quantity of Machine: There are 4 sets of LHC model trolley moving I H Beam SAW Welding Machine, being deployed in a consecutive straight line;
b) Task of Machine: Each set of the LHC machine is responsible for implementing on fabricating 1 piece of welding seam on H Beam;
c) H Beam Placement for Welding: During SAW welding, H Beam is laid on group of 60° overturning rack along side the LHC Machine for H Beam Production, for carrying out 45° submerged arc welding;
d) Change H Beam Orientation: Every time 1 piece of welding seam is completed, the H Beam is flipped 90°, and sent to next set of LHC SAW Welding Machine, until all the 4 pieces of welding seams are finished welding on H Beam;

2) In Semi-Automatic Manual I H Beam Line:

a) Model and Quantity of Machine: There are 1 or 2 sets of LHA Gantry Moving, or LHT T Frame Open Structure I H Beam SAW Welding Machine in the line:
b) Task of Machine: One or two sets of the LHA/ LHT I H Beam Welding Machine finishes all the 4 pieces of welding seams fabrication;
c) For this purpose, the workpiece H Beam should be flipped 90° 4 times on supporting rack of the Machine for H Beam Production, to perform SAW on H Beam;

4. The 4^th Step: H Beam Flange Straightening in H Beam Production Welding Line:

1) Flange Deformation: After the large current submerged arc welding, H Beam flanges usually is distorted upward certain degree due to heat input, which should be flattened out in I H Beam Flange Straightening Machine;
2) Longitudinal Deformation: Sometimes, the distortion along H Beam lengthways is also obvious, which should be straightened with I H Beam Horizontal Press Straightening Machine;

5. The 5^th Step: End of H Beam Line: I H Beam End Face Milling Machine:

1) This step is for milling on end faces of fabricated H Beam, so that these finished working parts can be jointed together for carrying out Steel Structure construction;
2) When applied in welded H Beam Line, the model of H Beam End Face Milling Machine is DX15xx: The Max. milling height is 1500mm, with varying horizontal end face milling stroke of 1,500mm (DX1515) to 4,000mm (DX1540);

6. Material Flow among Steel Structure Machine for H Beam Production:

1) In automatic I H Beam Line, workpieces 60°/ 90°/ 180° overturning and transportation is fulfilled by means of moving or stationary 60°/ 90°/ 180° hydraulic drive Overturning Equipment and Steel Conveyor. Operators work is safe and relieved;
2) In manual I H Beam Line, the corresponding material flow is basically completed by operators with operating on traveling cranes, and sometimes 60° overturning racks at H Beam 3 in 1 Fabrication Machine. So, operators need to take care on safe operation.
