The work surface being a continuous surface and configured to support a plurality of components for fabrication of an assembly, such as an assembly of metal components. The device further includes a beam located above the work surface. The beam is operatively coupled to the table, such that the beam moves relative to the work surface in a first direction. A marking device on the beam is configured to move along the beam in a second direction different from the first direction. The marking device is further configured to mark the work surface in the shape of an assembly pattern. Assembly components are positioned on the assembly pattern to be assembled.

The present invention relates to a pre-stressed steel sheet and a method a method of manufacturing the same.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a pre-stressed steel sheet comprising: a base material; and a plurality of weld lines formed on the base materials, wherein the average spacing between each pair of the weld lines is equal to or greater than five times the width of the weld lines and equal to or less than half the width of the steel sheet.

According to an aspect of the present invention, a pre-stressed steel sheet having improved bendability can be provided, and accordingly when the pre-stressed steel sheet is applied to a structural member such as a girder or beam, the bendability of a structure can be improved.

A collar flange assembly welding fixture is disclosed, including a stand, a circular mount structure, and a support assembly which are configured to provide access to a front side and a back side of a collar flange assembly held by the support assembly. The stand has a plurality of circumferential bearings equidistant from an axis of rotation, the circular mount structure is rotatably supported by the circumferential bearings, and the support assembly is configured for mounting on the circular mount structure.

A manual universal punching and welding apparatus includes a body frame having at least a vertical wall; a pair of supporting arms that are attached to the body frame and clamp a portion of the work object; a punching head that rotates clockwise and counterclockwise in a plane defined by the vertical wall of the body frame; and a welding part for welding the work object loaded on the work object loading part of the punching head. As for an efficiency of the present invention, a single manual punching/welding apparatus may produce all types of parts that require punching and welding. In addition, compared to the maintenance of a large number of designated machines, only one universal machine would desire maintenance, which greatly reduces the burden of overall maintenance.

A method for manufacturing a profile member for a suspended ceiling system, comprising forming a sheet metal material into an elongate T-shaped profile member with a web having two web side walls and a pair of oppositely disposed flanges projecting from a bottom portion of the web, and laser welding the elongate T-shaped profile member for providing a laser weld joint extending in a longitudinal direction of the T-shaped profile member and joining the two web side walls to each other. The step of laser welding comprises alternatingly performing a first operation and a second operation, the second operation being different from the first operation, whereby a laser weld joint is provided comprising along its extension alternating welded first sections associated to the first operation and second sections associated to the second operation. The present invention also relates to an elongate profile member provided with a laser weld joint.

The beam rotation device described herein has a base support with a first vertical jaw arm, a second vertical jaw arm, and a support arm. The second vertical jaw arm may be pivotally coupled to the device so as to go from a first, closed position to a second, opened position to receive a steel beam (e.g., I-beam). Once the steel beam is placed within the device, the support arm may hold the beam stationary to allow a worker to weld or perform other tasks. It will be appreciated that multiple beam rotation devices may be coupled together and work in tandem to receive and rotate a beam. The beam rotation device creates a safer working environment than the rotators found in the art by having a pivotable second vertical jaw arm that may open to receive a beam and a support arm to hold the beam during fabrication.

The present invention relates to a method for reducing or completely closing an opening of an inner contour 2 of a workpiece by means of a material melted by a laser deposition welding device 7, comprising the following steps: providing a workpiece 1 with an inner contour 2 having an opening defined by an edge section 11, forming a plurality of base webs 41 from molten material by laser deposition welding by starting at the edge section 11 of the inner contour 2 of the workpiece in such a way that the formed base webs 41 protrude from the edge section 11 at a predetermined angle, connecting adjacent base webs 41 by forming connecting webs 42 from molten material by laser deposition welding in such a way that a support structure 4 which comprises base webs 41 and connecting webs 42 is formed, forming a cover layer 5 of molten material connected to the support structure 4 in such a way that the opening of the inner contour 2 is reduced or completely closed.

A method of welding a support on a slide profile, which comprises: a) providing a support having a wall with an inner face, and providing a profile having a wall with an outer face, b) positioning the interface support with the inner face of its wall against the outer face of the wall of the profile, c) creating a welding joint between the wall of the support and the wall of the profile by moving a laser beam relative to the wall of the profile, while keeping the laser beam in a position such that it successively passes through, from an emitting source: the wall of the profile, then the wall of the support, while remaining within the material of the wall of the support.

A method for producing a hollow conductor is specified. The hollow conductor has a first hollow-conductor section and a connecting section. The first hollow-conductor section contains a non-weldable aluminium alloy and the connecting section contains a weldable aluminium alloy. The method includes the step of: connecting the first hollow-conductor section to the connecting section by a laser-welding method.
