Section 1 Slides Review on Wuxi JACK T Beam H Beam Assembly Machine Technical Features

Slides 1: The Highly Reliable and Accurate Central Function of Wuxi JACK T Beam H Beam Assembly Machine:

1. The Two Main Functions in the Machine:
1) Assembly: Fitting up steel strips into T Beam and H Beam, making sure its flange and web to be centrally aligned in accurate position;
2) Tack Welding: To prevent the assembled T Beam H Beam from falling apart, implement CO2 welding on the workpiece simultaneously;

 

2. High Quality and Efficiency Operation of Wuxi JACK T Beam H Beam Assembly Machine:

This page of slides elaborates on how does the machine completes the above two main functions with units of:

1) Assembly Unit in T Beam H Beam Assembly Machine:

a) H Beam Assembly: There are 8 pairs of symmetric arranged alignment rollers in different height level, which are used for pushing and securing the flanges and web into correct position;
b) Reliable and Smooth Drive: To fully guarantee tight and firm clamping of flange and web, movement of these alignment rollers are driven with hydraulic oil cylinders, and guided with high precision gloss bushings;
c) Precise Positioning: These alignment rollers are all eccentric type, which have ability of inching adjustment, delivering the most accurate fitting up effect on flange and web;

 

2) Tack Welding in H Beam Assembly and CO2 Tack Welding Machine:

a) Welding Torches: As shown in this slides, in one set of the machine, there are 2 sets of CO2 welding torch in 45° mirror installation, for welding the 2 pieces of joint seams on H Beam at the same time;
b) Position Control: The position of these 2 welding torches can be adjusted precisely, based on specification of fabricated H Beam, by means of handwheels and precise linear guiderails on cross slides at its back side.

Slides 2: The Powerful Function Supporting Elements in Wuxi JACK H Beam Assembly and CO2 Tack Welding Machine

The successful completion of central tasks can not be fulfilled without the support from function assistant elements. And this page of slides is for discussing on this topic:

1. Hydraulic System in T Beam H Beam Assembly Machine:

1) Driving Purpose: As mentioned previously, to guarantee sufficient driving force, the fitting up of flange and web is driven with hydraulic oil cylinders;
2) Composition: Hydraulic system has its independent oil pump station, which has good radiation, as shown in lefthand photo of this slides page;
3) Acting Elements: Fine filters on oil pump station makes sure long term reliable working of electro-magnetic valves, which are critical working elements in hydraulic system;
 

2. PLC Control in T Beam H Beam Assembly Machine:

1) Uniqueness: T Beam H Beam Assembly Machine is the only automatic equipment in I H Beam Production Line, which has its electric control system equipped with PLC (Programmable logic controller), due to relative complicated control logic;
2) PLC Function: By means of PLC control, length of each segment tack welding seam and interval between 2 adjacent seams can be set up by customer operators, based on process technology requirement on T Beam H Beam fabrication;
 

3. VF Inverter Control on Working Speed of H Beam Assembly and CO2 Tack Welding Machine:

1) Purpose: To have a precise and smooth management on assembly/ Tack welding/ And sending forward velocity of T Beam H Beam during its assembly,
2) Accurate Management: Working speed on T Beam H Beam assembly and CO2 tack welding is precisely and continuously controlled with A.C. inverter (VF: Short for Variable Frequency Drive), and displayed real time in digital form, on operating panel of the machine.

Slides 3: The Reliable and Precise 2 Stages Assembly in Wuxi JACK T Beam H Beam Assembly Machine

1. This page slides gives panorama view on machine working zone at customer site;
2. Infeed conveyor roller tables are at left back side of main frame; Outfeed conveyor roller tables are at right front side. Which means, the workpieces (flange and web) flow direction in this photo is from left to right;
3. Why need 2 Stages Assembly: As can be seen from photo in this slides, considering long length of T Beam H Beam and correspondingly large assembly zone, solitary precise assembly step discussed before is not sufficient to acquire firm fitting up on flange with web. For this reason:

 

4. T Beam H Beam Assembly Machine has Double Assurance Mechanisms of 2 Stages Assembly:

1) Installation Position: Shown in the slides, there are 3 pairs of yellow color pulling rod boxes deployed in regular interval, along infeed roller table of the machine, for performing on preliminary positioning and clamping on flanges with web;
2) Drive Way: Same as the central zone precise alignment eccentric rollers, these pulling rod boxes are also driven with hydraulic oil cylinders, considering the necessary heavy and reliable driving force;
3) Hydraulic drive pulling rod boxes (Manipulators) working as 1st step assembly function mechanism: (Fig.2)

 

Slides 4: The Smooth/ Heavy Force, and Precise Guiding of Downward Pressing Roller in Wuxi JACK H Beam Assembly and CO2 Tack Welding Machine:

1. Role for Assembly: As we know, during work period, T Beam H Beam is in the position of vertical orientation. So, its reliable and accurate positioning is of vital importance for guaranteeing on high standard assembly effect;
2. Implementation Way: This job is performed by means of the overhead downward stroke pressing roller, which is installed into machine mechanical U frame, and moves downward for holding the H Beam firmly, as indicated in the 2 photos of this slides;
3. Powerful Drive and Smooth Guide: Illustrated in this page of slides, downward movement of this pressing roller is also driven with hydraulic oil cylinders, and guided with precise linear guiderail, fully guaranteeing its reliable and smooth movement.

Section 3 Electric Control System of Wuxi JACK T Beam H Beam Assembly Machine

1. A.C. Inverter in T Beam H Beam Assembly Machine:

1) Task: A.C. inverter works in couple with the PLC, to control the CO2 tack welding speed during H Beam assembly;
 

2) Compound Control on Work Velocity in H Beam Assembly and CO2 Tack Welding Machine:

To acquire on extensive range of working speed manage, there are double levels of speed control:
a) Variable frequency change: Based on parameters such as H Beam thickness, there are 8 options of output frequency from the A.C. inverter, which can be set up ahead of time into PLC user program. By means of dial switch on front cover of A.C. inverter, tack welding velocity can be switched among these 8 stages of frequency;
b) Continuous working speed: On the basis of selected frequency, and by means of turning speed knob on machine operating pendant, the desired speed can be modulated conveniently and intuitively;

b) The assembly steps of eccentric alignment rollers act;
c) Set up process parameters of CO2 tack welding seam on assembled T Beam H Beam;
Are all controlled with PLC, making the machine working in unified command;
 

2) PLC Control CO2 Tack Welding in H Beam Assembly and CO2 Tack Welding Machine:

a) Tack Welding Mode: Compared with the subsequent step of H Beam SAW welding, H Beam assembly and tack welding operation is in the form of low current intermittent welding (max. 500A, working current usually 160- 350A), instead of large current continuous welding in SAW (Up to 1000A or 1250A);
b) For this reason, during operation of H Beam Production Line, it is very important to have proper management on welding process parameters, including:
 -- Length of each segment welding seam;
 -- Interval between welding seams;
 -- Welding current for each segment of welding seam;
 

c) PLC Value for T Beam H Beam Assembly Machine:

 -- Under manual control mode of machine, it is difficult to deliver consistent welding seams on all the finished assembled H Beam;
 -- While under automatic control working mode, by means of parameters preset into the PLC, a batch of unison tack welded H Beam can be expected for sure;
d) Besides, just to modify the aforementioned parameters in PLC and A.C. inverter, can the form of H Beam tack welding seams to be changed at will.
3. As to brand of PLC and A.C. inverter of Wuxi JACK Z series T Beam H Beam Assembly Machine, we always select renowned suppliers in the industry, such as Scheider;
