1) As introduced in product section of “HB1500 High Speed Semi Automatic Welding H Beam Production Line”, the total investment on H Beam Production Machine in Automatic H Beam Production Line with SAW welder is 2 times that of semi automatic line;
Then, what is the reason customer choose automatic H Beam production line instead of semi automatic? The 3 major factors behind that are:
a) The productivity of Automatic Welding H Beam Production Line is 2 ~ 2.5 times that of semi automatic H Beam Production Line;
b) Production Efficiency: Based on calculation and feedback from customers over the years, with single shift of production, output of a complex of automatic H Beam production line is around 5,000 Ton on annual basis; While for a semi automatic line, it is around 2,000 ~ 2,500 Ton per year: (Fig.1)
The 2nd benefit lies in modern and high end workshop embodied with a complex of automatic welding H Beam production line. It represents strong strength of customer;
The 3rd benefit is less operators involved. H Beam Production Machine in a typical group of automatic welding H Beam production line usually needs 7~8 operators to take care:
a) 1 Operator for CG4000 CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine;
b) 1 Operator for H Beam Assembly machine with tack welding;
c) 4 Operators for 4 sets of LHC SAW H Beam Gantry Welding Machine;
d) 1 Operator for HYJ800 H Beam Straightening Machine;
e) 1 Operator for hoisting flange and web from plate cut to assembly, and back up;
No operator needed for working on transferring H Beam among workstations inside the Automatic H Beam Production Line.
When introducing Automatic H Beam Production Line, the second factor is its land occupation. Please check attached second picture on layout of typical line. Standard arrangement is:
a) H Beam Assembly Machine, H Beam Gantry Welding Machine and H Beam Straightening Machine lay in a streamline following one after the other: (Fig.2)
b) Alongside this flow line of the three H Beam Production Machine, in parallel is CNC Strip plate cutting machine and storage area of the Automatic H Beam Production Line: (Fig.3)
a) The total length from starting point of input conveyor of H Beam Assembly Machine, to the end point of output conveyor terminal of H Beam Straightening Machine should be 95 at minimum, or 120m better, or 200m the best with margins and spare back up zone considered;
b) There are two bays of span in one complex of Automatic Welding H Beam Production Line;
c) The width of one span of flow line is 11m. Plus 2m walking passage, and another 11m span for cutting machine and storage, total width of facility for this Automatic H Beam Production Line should be at least 22m;
d) Height of travel crane overhead for hoisting flange and web from CNC Strip Plate Cutting machine onto H Beam Assembly machine should be 8.6m high: (Fig.4)
3) Occupied Area: In All, a typical Automatic Welding H Beam Production Line needs floor area of at least 24m (width) x 95m (length) to better 24m (width) x 120m (length) to suggestive 24m (width) x 200m (length), with height of 12m (8.6m height for travel crane beam) for accommodating H Beam Production Machine.
