1. Origin: This page is converted from introduction slides on I H Beam Production Line, for quick review on Usage/ Workpiece Specifications/ Strong Points/ Process Technology/ Layout and Main types of H Beam Production Equipment, being deployed in Wuxi JACK delivered I H Beam Production Line;
2. Goal: We expect this page of slides can be helpful to anyone who have interest on I H Beam Production Line and I H Beam Production Machine, and want to spend the least time to get a general picture on it, either for the purpose of successful purchase, or just plan to have an overall idea.
1) Delivery: As its name suggests, I H Beam Production Line produces welding T/ I/ H Beam of light/ medium/ heavy duties, from the minimum 200mm web height, to the maximum 3000mm web height. This is the primary working parts applied in Steel Structure industry:
1) New H Beam Production Equipment: Recent years, there is a kind of new generation efficient and cost effective H Beam Production Equipment: 3 in 1 H Beam Assembly Welding Straightening Integral Machine (H Beam 3 in 1 Fabrication Machine), which has many advantages in replacing traditional I H Beam Production Line, for producing light and medium duty T/ I/ H Beams;
2) I H Beam Production Line Irreplaceable Capability: Meanwhile, in the field of producing heavy duty welding H Beam, which means welding seam bigger than 12mm on finished T/ I/ H Beam, and needs to be completed with more than one time welding pass on finished working parts, the traditional I H Beam Production Line still has its irreplaceable position. This is benefitting from its 45° fillet welding, in I H Beam Submerged Arc Welding Machine:
Based on internal material transferring way among 3~ 4 working zones of I H Beam Production Machine, the I H Beam Production Line can be classified into 2 general types of automatic and semi-automatic:
1) Advantages: Automatic I H Beam Production Line has the least degree of human intervention, as shown in banner of this page: Utilizing 60° / 90°/ 180° hydraulic drive Overturning Equipment and Steel Conveyor, WIP (Work In Progress) workpieces flow inside the entire I H Beam Production Line is fully automatic and safe;
2) “Disadvantage”: Automatic I H Beam Production Line involves relative larger workshop land occupation and more investment. And update on its layout involves longer time;
a) H Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine;
b) H Beam Submerged Arc Welding Machine;
c) H Beam Flange Straightening Machine;
d) I H Beam End Face Milling Machine;
2) Material Flow: Human operation on transferring of WIP (Work in process) working parts among the above listed 3 types of I H Beam Production Machine, are carried out by operators operating on traveling cranes and travel carts, a group of Semi-Automatic I H Beam Production Line is set up;
3) Business Features: Semi-Automatic I H Beam Production Line has smaller land occupation, more flexible layout, and less investment, compared with automatic I H Beam Production Line. It is more applicable for MGPP (Multi-Generation Production Plan) on introducing I H Beam Production Line at customer site.

3) I H Beam Production Equipment
1) Working Parts: Standard models of I H Beam Production Line produces 3 grades of Max. welding T I H Beam based on its models HB1500/ 1800/ 2000, which is distinguished according to H Beam max. web height: 1500mm/ 1800mm/ 2000mm;
2) Selling Volume: Of which, the 1500mm grade (HB1500) I H Beam Production Line has the widest application;
3) Special Models: Under special design, Wuxi JACK can produce I H Beam Production Line with finished H Beam up to 3000mm web height;
2. Strong Points: This page of slides also lists main superiorities of Wuxi JACK I H Beam Production Line. In general, this turnkey project builds up a modern workshop for Steel Structure manufacture at customer site;
3. Business Case: The photo in this page of slides presents a line of HB1500 heavy duty automatic HB1500 I H Beam Production Line, exported by Wuxi JACK to a Russian client in the year 2014.
This page of slides gives suggested layout of I H Beam Production Line, which takes workshop land area in the range of 2000 m2 to 5000 m2:
1) I H Beam Assembly and Tack Welding Machine;
2) I H Beam Submerged Arc Welding Machine;
3) I H Beam Flange Straightening Machine;
4) I H Beam End Face Milling Machine;
Are installed in sequence in a straight row, so that workpieces can flow the entire machine equipment complex of I H Beam Production Line along the shortest path;
2. CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine, which is a kind of more general purpose equipment and not confined to I H Beam Production Line use, is arranged in another span along side the 4 sets of essential I H Beam Production Machine, together with raw materials storage area;
1) The minimum required least area is: 95m length x 24m width (2 arrays of 11m span, together with 2m width walking passage) = 2280m2;
2) The ideal occupied area is: 200m length x 24m width= 4800m2.
From this page of slides, photos of main H Beam Production Machine are pasted in sequence:
1) Working Nature: As mentioned previously, it is kind of universal equipment, which can be served in not only I H Beam Production Line, but also in other process technology;
2) Running Position: CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine is deployed at start working station of I H Beam Production Line: 1st Operation zone;
3) Varied Specifications: There are numerous configurations of CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine, divided on: Max. valid cutting width (Gantry span)/ Cutting way (Flame or Plasma)/ Cutting torch quantity, etc.;
4) Model for being applied in I H Beam Production Line: The CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine is usually in configuration of: CG4000 (4000mm span of cutting rails), Oxygen flame cutting, 9 sets of strip cutting torches, and 2 pieces of CNC cutting torches;
1) Significance: This is the first set of solitary use dedicated I H Beam Production Equipment;
