SPECIAL APPLICATIONS

Beam Welding
ESAB offers a variety of beam welding solutions from simple tractors to fully automated beam assembly lines for all styles of beams, from I-, T-, L-beams, wide flange beams, columns, tapered beams and nonsymmetrical beams. Our extensive experience in beam welding ensure optimum straightness and productivity. Some beam welder examples are shown, please call for further information on specific applications.

CaB Based Beam Welders

Weld a large variety of beams with various configurations of standard columns and booms Processes include: subarc, tandem subarc, MIG, cored wire, and aluminum welding PEH integrated process controller A2/A6 heads Seam tracking options can be modified for curved shapes, such as trailer beams

Aluminum Trailer Beam Welder, With Narrow Precision Track

Pivot base allows welding on both sides of track Unique joint tracking allows proper torch alignment through the transition curves on the beam MIG welding process with AristoMIG 450 and includes integrated fume extraction system

Submerged Arc Trailer Beam Welder

Available similar to above but equipped A2/A6 subarc heads, PEH process control, and flux recovery system Also available for metalcore process

Walltrac Wall Mounted CaB Welding Station

For production of various beams structures, such as I/H, box beams and non symmetrical design Floor space is minimized with single rail/wall support Longitudinal and transverse welding procedures Uses A6 welding heads, PEH process control and GMD joint tracking

SPECIAL APPLICATIONS

Beam Welding
Pull Through Beam Welders: Welding head is stationary and beam is pulled through the station. Parts are automatically aligned and compressed, eliminating tacking. Tight fit-up ensures high weld quality. Models available for vertical or horizontal web.

IT 100, 258 and 3200 Web Vertical Pull Through Beam Welder
Both sides of flange welded simultaneously Built-in straightening device to compensate for pullback of the flanges Optional induction or gas heating equipment to ensure straight beams. Required for T beams Complete material handling systems available PLC controlled, uses A6 DC-AC tandem subarc heads on each side for high speed welding Specs: IT 100: web height max 1 m (3.3 ft) IT 258: Web height max 2.5 m (8.2 ft) IT 3200: Web height max 3.2 m (10.5 ft)

IT 2000 Web Horizontal Pull Through Beam Welder

Both flanges welded simultaneously Easy to install, no special foundation required Place two machines in line for continuous flow Infeed and outfeed conveyors available PLC controlled, uses A6 DC-AC tandem subarc heads on each side for high speed welding Specs: Flange size 100 700 mm; beam height 246 2200 mm
