1. Output: I H Beam Production Line produces welding T/ H/ I Beams of medium to large sizes and thickness;
1) In Steel Structure industry, there are applied 2 kinds of T/ H/ I Beams: Smaller size hot rolling Beams, and heavier duty welding Beams fabricated from I H Beam Production Line;
2) Welding T/ H/ I Beams have larger size than hot rolled ones, and consequently stronger strength and wider application:
3) 3 Standard Specifications: of welding T/ H/ I Beams, with max. web height available from I H Beam Production Line: 1500mm/ 1800mm/ 2000mm;
1) T/ H/ I Beams Application: Over the past three decades, these fabricated Beams are the basic and No.1 consumed working parts in Steel Structure construction;
2) Correspondingly, various configurations I H Beam Production Line and I H Beam Fabrication Machine are the most preferred equipment for customers;

2) Combination or separately selected the above-mentioned I H Beam Fabrication Machine.
1) Since the year 2009, Wuxi JACK successfully took the lead in developing PHJ and ZHJ series I H Beam Fabrication Machine;
2) This machine has exceeding power in making light and medium duty welding T/ H/ I Beams, covering all factors of P (People)/ Q (Quality)/ V (Velocity)/ C (Cost), and helping customer reducing investment over 50%;
Meanwhile, traditional I H Beam Production Line still has its irreplaceable position, when customers plan to manufacture heavy duty steel structure T/ H/ I Beams:
a) When the designated SAW (Submerged arc welding) toe on T/ H/ I Beams need several passes of welding seam, then LHC/LHA/LHT series I H Beam SAW Welding Machine are the most proper choice for customers;
b) The SAW welding seam formed from I H Beam SAW Welding Machine has wider cover face and deeper penetration;
a) The max. straightening capacity can be up to 80mm flange thickness, on H Beams made from carbon steel material of Q345, in tensile strength 510~600 MPa;
3. For quick review on technical strong points of these I H Beam Fabrication Machine, it is introduced in summary page:” Slides on Wuxi JACK I H Beam Production Line”.

In view on way of material and WIP (Working in process) flow among working stations, there are two types of I H Beam Production Line put into use: Automatic and Semi Automatic:
a) From CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine to I H Beam Assembly Machine;
b) From I H Beam Assembly Machine to I H Beam SAW Welding Machine;
c) From I H Beam SAW Welding Machine to I H Beam Straightening Machine;
are fulfilled with hydraulic drive 60°/90°/180° Overturning Equipment Rack, no need of manual operation;
So, operators of automatic I H Beam Production Line are relieved from hard job of material handling;
2) H Beam SAW submerged arc welding is fulfilled with 4 sets of LHC model Column trolley structure I H Beam SAW Welding Machine;
3) Detailed introduction is in the product page of “Automatic I H Beam Production Line”.
1) Here, “Semi-Automatic” or “Manual” only refers to its ways of material flow among work stations;
2) All the machines and equipment in semi-automatic I H Beam Production Line work in automatic manner;

Are introduced in product page “Equipment in I H Beam Production Line”.
1) Flexible layout, adjustment and relocation on H Beam production machines, adding new equipment in the halfway;
2) Less workshop land occupation necessary;
3) Less period investment;
1) In automatic I H Beam Production line, there are 4 sets of LHC column trolley I H Beam SAW Welding Machine. H Beam is completed SAW welding with one time pass, no turning around;
2) In semi-automatic I H Beam Production line, there is 1 set of LHA or LHT gantry frame I H Beam SAW Welding Machine. H Beam needs to be 90° / 180° turned 3 times on material racks to finish its SAW;
1) Higher variable cost: More operators necessary;
2) More Challenge on Safety Assurance: The added manual labor mainly involve material handling and transshipment. The materials are large and heavy. So, safety hidden risk grows up than automatic I H Beam Production Line, and safe operation should be seriously managed and monitored;
1) Flexible Configuration: Model and quantity of Equipment in semi-automatic I H Beam Production Line can be selected and arranged personally;
