Structural Steel
Architectural Beam Manufacturing
Problem
Welding throughput for irregular shaped 40′ structural beams – 60,000 lb.
COMPLEXITY
Approach
- Integrated submerged arc welding gantry
- PLC control system
- Mechanical seam tracking
- High capacity flux management system
Result
- Project timelines met
- Efficient equipment redeployment after project completion
- Expanded scope of work available to client
Welding Gantry
Welding gantries are designed for a specific application and incorporate the integration of industry-leading welding, tracking, vision and control systems. Welding gantries range in many different working windows and design configurations depending on the application, and have been used in structural steel, shipbuilding, panel welding, and military applications.
- Web – flange beam/girder welding
- Plate welding
- Stiffener welding
- Deep groove welding – longitudinal/circumferential
- Self-contained service gantry’s for remoting equipment
