H Beam Welding Machine
What is the H Beam Fabrication Machine?
A PEB H Beam Fabrication machine converts individual steel plates into structural H Beams. The entire welding process follows an H-shaped configuration, which is why it’s called an H Beam Fabrication Line. This advanced fabrication system transforms raw materials into essential structural components used in construction and manufacturing.
H Beam Fabrication Process
Material Preparation
H Beams are fabricated from precut lengthy steel components: Flange Plates & Web Plates. These plates are prepared from standard industrial steel stock, cut to size using shearing, plasma cutting, or oxy-fuel cutting processes.
Assembly and Tack Welding
- Precut flange and web plates are loaded onto the inlet conveyor
- Plates are fed to the H Beam Tack Welding Station
- Initial tack welds create single-point connections between the two flanges and the web, forming the H configuration
- Hydraulic fit-up cylinders assist operators in forming the H Beam with ease
- Optional auto-adjustment web lifting arrangement with digital readout ensures precise positioning
Pull Through Welding Process
The tacked H Beam transfers to the Pull Through Welding Machine/Station (PTW Machine), the heart of the fabrication line. This system transforms the initially tacked beam into a fully welded structural component.

Advanced Welding Technology
The fabrication process utilizes Twin Wire Submerged Arc Welding, delivering larger weld deposition compared to conventional MIG welding or single wire SAW processes. For varying web and flange thicknesses, different advanced welding processes can be implemented.
The PLC-controlled system manages critical parameters including welding current, voltage, and beam traverse speed to ensure optimal weld quality and precise fillet sizes.
