“PRIMO” has recently developed Heavy Beam Welding Machines for the Fabrication of Railway Bridge Beam. One of the advanced variants of this machine can produce heavy thickness beams from individual plates feeded to the machine without the need for pre-assembly. The machine is equipped with necessary modules with clamping mechanism for easy assembly and alignment of beams in vertical format - I type assembly of beam.
This is a high productive
machine equipped with all necessary Electrical & Mechanical controls to
meet the Quality requirement and the demands & growth of the Railway
Industry.
We are a one stop solution
provider for Beam Welding offering complete turnkey solutions, for Pre-
Engineered building applications. Automation helps in not only deskilling, it
results in low rework( especially in flange & web assembly). We have
supplied and exported beam welding lines since the year 1999, and till date we
have installed 150+ Beam Welding Lines overseas
and in India
What
is Vertical Plate Girder Fabrication Machine ?
“Plate Girder Fabrication
Machine” is the Welding / Fabrication machinery with mechanized elements
& modules used to produce Plate Girders in I format / Vertical from loosely
feed lengthy plates. As the whole process takes place in I format, it is also
called as “I Beam Plate Girder Welding / Fabrication Equipment”.
How
to Fabricate Plate Girders ?
Plate Girder Beams can be Fabricated from precut lengthy plates
called Flange Plates & Web Plates. These Flange & Web
plates required are precut from standard available steel plates of industrial
stock sizes by either shearing or Plasma / Oxy Fuel Cutting process. There are total 4 Welding
joints / seams in the entire “Plate
Girder Beam”, 2 on bottom Flange & 2 more on the
Top Flange when taken up for Full Welding in I Format.
The Pre Cut Flange & Web Plates are loaded on to the inlet
conveyor for further Girder Beam Fabrication processes. The plates are placed
on the Inlet Conveyor in the respective sequence so as the bottom Flange is
centralized and the Middle Web Plate is aligned with respect to the Center of
the Bottom Flange. During this process the Girder looks like a Inverted T Beam.
After the final positioning and clamping is done, the manual tacking is
completed for a desired length at the entry alone on both side of the Web
Plate.
The Tacked Inverted T Beam is fed to the main Full Welding
Station. As the Tacked Beam enters the Main Welding Station, the Web and the
bottom Flange are aligned and kept in the respective position with the
necessary clamping arrangements. The both side Twin Wire SAW Torches are
positioned in the Weld Seam joint with the adjustment slide Mechanisms. Once
the Torches are positioned in the Weld Seam route, In the first Stage, the
machine takes care of Full Welding of entire length of the Beam Section for the
bottom side Flange to Web Welding. Whereas the Welded Inverted T beam is taken
aback for reloading in T format and aligned with the one more Flange in order
to form the I Beam / Plate Girder complete assembly. The same procedure is
carried out for the Second Stage Fitment, Tacking & Full Welding processes
in order to fabricate a complete Plate Girder Beam / I Beam.
The Complete Plate Girder Fabrication / Welding System is equipped
with the following major modules built to serve specific purposes.

With the help of the above machine configuration / modules, the
tacked I beam is converted in to full Welded I Beam while the beam Pulls
Through the Machine. The I Beams are fabricated / welded with Twin Wire
Submerged Arc Welding Process which allows larger Weld deposition than
conventional MIG Welding or single wire SAW process. Multi-Layer Welding
Sequence is adapted for higher plate thickness to do Multi Pass SAW Welding of
Plate Girder. Depending on the Thickness of the Web & Flange of the beam,
various other advanced Welding processes can be employed to convert the single
point tacked Beam to a fully Welded H Beam.
Various Parameters governing the Weld Quality and Fillet Sizes
such as Welding Current, Voltage, Beam Traverse speed, are controlled by the
PLC Controlled System.
Primo also offers the above Pull Through Beam Welding Systems in
different configurations along with other accessory equipment accordingly to
suit the requirement of the Customers in Steel Beam fabrication industry.
