From this product we discuss on PHJ and ZHJ Series Three in One H Beam Welding Machine from the view point other than standard models.
1) H Beam versus I Beam: In some countries (Such as South Asia) some customers call H Beam as “I Beam”. So, this product family has the alternative name of I Beam Assembly Weld Straighten Integrated Machine, or I Beam Fabrication Machine;
2) Central Functions: Besides, because the core step in welded H Beam production is to weld web and flanges into final finished H Beam, supported with the first step of H Beam fit up and third step of H Beam flange straightening, we can also this machine as Multifunction H Beam Welding Machine --- Integrating three central steps in one:
Testing on Wuxi JACK exported to Argentina ZHJ15 model 3 in 1 H Beam Fabrication Machine, by fabricating on welded T Beam: (Fig.1)
1) Suitable Application: This high efficiency machine tool replaces traditional H Beam Production Line, which is composed of three individual machines (H Beam Assembly Machine, plus H Beam Welding Machine, plus welded H Beam Straightening Machine), in the field of making small and medium size welded H Beam (Here, light to medium H Beam refer to: Max. Welding toe size of single pass less than 12mm) since 2009. This is the reason we give the product name as Light duty Fit Up Full H Beam Welding Machine;
2) Benefit of the Machine: In other words, for customers whose niche products are light to medium duty welded H Beam, the PHJ and ZHJ series machine is the best choice, considering nearly all factors when introducing new equipment, covering investment/ facility area/Number of operator/ productivity/ Everyday running cost/ Finished H Beam quality/ Operation security;
3) Market Boom: This is the reason that by the year 2021, these light duty and compact size of individual equipment I Beam Fabrication Machine has taken over 60% task of welded H Beam production, and witness very rapid growth in steel structure industry. It has very prosperous prospect in market share:

1) For producing heavy duty welded H Beam, (Which means, H Beam web thickness above 25~30mm, and welding seam height higher than 12mm), the conventional H Beam production line with individual machines on assembly/ welding/ straightening is still the only choice;
2) The reason is, the traditional SAW H Beam Welding Machine (Gantry structure LHA, or T structure LHT, or Column structure LHC) can perform several rounds of welding back and forth along the H Beam (Usually 2~3 times can meet the demand);
3) For producing Small to Medium Sized H Beam: While PHJ and or ZHJ series 3 in 1 I Beam Assembly Weld Straighten Integrated Machine usually performs single pass of SAW welding, with max. welding seam height of 12mm. So, for producing welded H Beam of welding seam height 12mm and less, PHJ and ZHJ model machine is the ideal choice;
4) 2 Critical Factors: Since there are several models of Light duty H Beam Fabrication Machine to choose from, for selecting proper model, 2 factors should be considered: First is structure and size of workpiece (Welded H Beam) that is to be produced; The other is prospective productivity;
5) 2 Types of H Beam Cross Section Structure: If H Beam web is joint centered with respective to flange, both PHJ and ZHJ models can be selected; If there are some H Beam of which web is not centered against flange, then PHJ model machine is the only proper solution. Please check below sketch:
