Z15 Self Alignment H Beam Assembly Machine with Manual Tack Welding

1. Application of Z15 Self Alignment H Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine:

1) Background: In the first photo, this set of Z15 Self Alignment automatic assembling H Beam Assembly Machine with manual tack welding was taken at a newly set up H Beam Production Line;

2) As you may find from the first photo, there is a set of CG4000 CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine at the back side of this H Beam Assembling Machine raw material coming inlet, the previous station of the machine, for producing raw material of the I H Beam Assembly Machine: Strip steel plates used as flange and web of welding H Beam:

Finished workpieces from H Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine:  (Fig.2)

2.  Working Steps in Z15 Self Alignment H Beam Assembly Machine with Manual Tack Welding:

This Z15 H Beam Assembling and Tack Welding Machine works in following steps for producing a piece of welding H Beam:

1) T Beam Assembly: Assembles flange and web one piece each into ⊥ shape beam first, with the help from automatic assembling self alignment unit of the H Beam Assembling Machine;

2) WIP T Beam Produced: Meanwhile, together with the automatic assembling process performed in the machine, carry out CO₂ spot welding by operators, making the workpiece a piece of semi finished product T Beam of the I Beam Assembly Machine: 

WIP T Beam assembled from I H Beam Assembly Machine: (Fig.3)

3) Second Loading: Overturn the assembled T Beam 180° and load it into the Z15 H Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine again;

4) Finished H Beam Assembly:  Then assembles the second piece of flange onto the ⊥ shape beam, making it turned into 工shape beam, or H Beam, also with the assist from the automatic assembling self alignment unit equipped in the H Beam Assembly Machine;

5) Second GMAW Welding: At same time, implements the second time manual CO₂ spot welding for the other two pieces of welding seams by operators:

3. Supply Range of Z15 H Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine:

Accordingly, supply range of Z15 Self Alignment automatic H Beam Assembly machine with manual tack welding does not include:

1) PLC being Applied in Electric Control System the H Beam Assembling Machine:

PLC (Programmable logic controller) plays key roles on controlling automatic circle of H Beam Assembling and Tack Welding Machine: (Fig.5) 

2) A.C. Inverter Controlling Working Speed of H I Beam Assembly Machine:

a) In automatic CO₂ spot welding, the A.C. inverter works together with PLC to manage adjustable moving and welding speed of H Beam fabrication: 

A.C. inverter in electric control of the H Beam Assembly Machine: (Fig.6) 

b) In the H Beam Assembly Machine with manual tack welding, the workpiece moves in constant speed,  the A.C. inverter plays on the role of back up for future upgrade;

3) CO₂ Spot Welding Power Supply being Applied in H Beam Assembling Machine:

a)  Different from PLC and inverter, it does not mean manual CO₂ spot welding does not need the corresponding welding power supply in the H Beam Assembly Machine: 

CO₂ welding power supply equipped in H Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine: (Fig.7)

b) CO₂ Welding Operating Style: Instead, without considering integration of welding power supply into control system of the automatic H Beam Assembly machine with manual tack weld, common practice is, customer prepare the CO₂ welding power supplies by themselves, which can be shared from other workstations in a steel structure facility. Usually at such facilities, CO₂ welding power supply is one of the frequent used and basic unit for equipment including H Beam Assembly Machine;

4) Machine Price: The above three reasons contribute to, that why a set of Self Alignment automatic H Beam Assembly machine with manual tack welding has 10% lower price than that of the H Beam Assembling Machine with automatic CO₂ spot welding version;

5) Complement: For introduction on self alignment automatic assembling in the equipment, please check product section of “Z18 Self Alignment H Beam Assembling Machine with Automatic Tack Welding”.
