The first thing people notice about CSI's
M451 H / I beam welder is how quietly it operates
relative to other manufacturers. This may not be
critical from a production standpoint, but it does reveal much
about the M451's smooth operation. Traditionally as the
flanges and web is fed through the welding heads, the beam
wanders left and right placing different demands on the
corresponding hydraulic cylinder. These cylinders do not
effectively
counter-act the movement by increasing pressure on one side or the
other. The noise results from the friction of the beam
colliding and scraping against the guides. The intensity of
the friction slows production and may even cause "blow through"
ruining the web and flanges impacting material costs and lost time. The M451 H beam welder is different because we've decoupled the motors and the welding tip heads. This Engineering approach ensures that each component performs it's exact job and is not adversely effected by another component through changes in hydraulic pressure or binding. The M451 uses variable hydraulic pressure to clamp flanges and web and the servo driven pinch roll drives deliver accurate welding speed control. The process is monitored and controlled through a PLC and user friendly HMI interface.
The proof lies in the accuracy, beauty and consistency of the final welds. The M451 beam welder is also manufactured in Canada and currently has a manufacturing lead time of 6 weeks. If you're interested in learning more, contact CSI - Control System Innovators and we'll email you a link to the video of the beam welding machine in action. We may also be able to arrange a demonstration of a commissioned beam welder. |
