Vertical I Beam Welding Line


“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.
