  M451 H/1 Beam Welding Line - SAW Submerged Arc Welding 
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.
