    摘要: A method for producing a welded I-beam profile includes providing a first flat material as a first flange of the I-beam profile, providing a second flat material as a second flange of the I-beam profile, and providing a third flat material as a web of the I-beam profile. The method includes aligning and guiding the first flange between first flange guiding rollers, aligning and guiding the second flange between second flange guiding rollers, and aligning and guiding the web between web guiding rollers. The web is arranged between the flanges in a plane that is perpendicular to the flanges for forming the I-beam. The method includes connecting the first flange to a first longitudinal edge of the web by a first welding operation in a welding station, and connecting the second flange to a second longitudinal edge of the web by a second welding operation in the welding station.

    摘要: A method is provided for transporting flat materials to be welded together, specifically a first flange and/or a second flange and a web for producing a beam through a welding station. The flat materials are aligned and guided by rollers. A slide is arranged upstream of the welding station in the run-through direction and a gripper is arranged downstream of the welding station. The slide introduces the flat materials into the welding station and moves them as far as a first position by means of a pushing movement at an advancement speed. The gripper grips the flat materials at the first position, and pulls the flat materials out of the welding station at the pulling speed and moves them as far as a second position by means of a pulling movement. The slide is arranged upstream of the welding station and the gripper is arranged downstream of the welding station.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for orientating two workpieces in order to form a joining connection, wherein in a longitudinal orientation step the first workpiece is orientated relative to the second workpiece) along at least one of the workpiece edges by linear movement of at least one of the grippers relative to the other gripper and wherein the longitudinal orientation step is carried out during the transport of the workpieces from the provision station to the processing station. Furthermore, the invention relates to a manipulator which comprises a first gripper and a second gripper.
