Z10 Automatic T Beam Assembly And Tack Welding Machine

The Z10 T Beam Assembly and Tack Welding machine takes the 3^rd step in T Beam production following edge rounding. It has similar working principle and structure as H Beam assembly, but smaller size: Max. height of vertical plate (Stiffener) is 1000mm, compared with Max.1500mm width of web in welding H Beam.

   1. Technical Description of Z10 Automatic T Beam Assembling and Tack Welding Machine:

   1.1  Purpose of the T Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine:

     - Z10 Automatic T Beam Assembly and Tack Weld machine is for assembling two pieces of steel plate into

       inversed T-shape and strengthen it with CO₂ tack welding, making a piece of T Beam coming into being.

   1.2  Structure of the T Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine:

    1) Please check attached picture. The Z10 T Beam Assembly and Tack Weld machine has main body of gantry

       frame assembled onto machine bed;

    2) Input conveyor and output conveyor of 10~12m each for conveying raw material into and finished product

       out of this T Beam Assembly machine;

    3) Hydraulic pump station is put alongside machine body for easy connection and maintenance;

    4) 2 sets of CO₂ tack welding power supply are put on the overhead platform at the top of gantry, with a 

      staircase assembled for climbing up the platform;

   1.3  Working Principle in the T Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine:

    1) The assembly and tack welding of T Beam with this Z10 automatic T Beam Assembling machine can be 

       divided into three major steps;

    2) The first step is the first-stage assembling (Rough assembling) with the 3 sets of manipulators (Pulling rod

      system, please check the 2^nd attached picture) installed on the input conveyor;

   3) These manipulators (Pulling rod system) are hydraulic oil cylinder driven. It will position and clamp the 2 

     pieces of steel plates into the shape of inversed T, and clamp it for keeping the shape;

   4) The workpiece goes forward to the machine bed, which is the working area of this T Beam Assembling

      machine;

   5) There are final assembling unit, in the form of set of alignment rollers (Please check the 3^rd attached picture),

      which adjusts and tightens the workpiece, finishing the second step of final assembly;

   6) The 3^rd step operation of this Z10 T Beam Assembling and Tack Welding machine is to have CO₂ tack welding

      in constant speed of 2000mm/min. along both sides of the assembled T Beam, making it into shape;

   1.4  Main Units in the T Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine:

     Z10 Automatic T Beam Assembly machine is mainly composed of:

    1) Machine body --- Including Gantry frame assembled with Machine bed;

    2) Input and output conveyor --- Same speed as Assembling and Tack welding;

    3) Pulling rod system (Manipulator) --- For the first step of assembling (Rough assembling), installed on the

       input conveyor, hydraulic driven;

    4) Assembling unit --- For final step of assembling (Precise assembling), in the form of set of alignment rollers,

      hydraulic driven;

    5) CO₂ tack welding system --- Including 2 sets of CO₂ welding power supply and welding torch, wire feeder, 

      console;

    6) Hydraulic system --- Give power on assembling process of this T Beam Assembly and Tack Welding machine;

    7) Control system --- Its core element is PLC;

    1.5  Operation of the T Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine:

    1) Operating panel (See attached) of Z10 T Beam Assembly machine is installed on the right lower section of 

        gantry column, for easy access and observance on working process;

    2) Management of CO₂ welding system is integrated into the machine panel.
