Beam Welding Lines

Kistler from Germany offers 2 versions of its Beam Welding Lines, viz VBL range & LBL range.

The VBL Beam welding line is a dedicated machine designed for the continuous production of welded I and T Beams, either parallel or tapered. The VBL operates with the Web plate in the vertical position. No tack weld welding is required except at the leading edge after the Web has been aligned on the centerline of the Flange.

Initially, the Web and first Flange are fed into the VBL machine, the welding is carried out simultaneously from both sides of the Web over the full length of the Beam. After completion of the first Flange welding, the section is turned 180 and the alignment and welding operation are repeated with the second Flange.
