A brief discussion on light steel and heavy steel structures by welding robot manufacturers

Xizhang Welding Robot is an enterprise dedicated to providing customers with complete intelligent solutions for steel structure production. Below, we will analyze the differences between light steel structures and heavy steel structures. Steel structures are divided into light steel structures and heavy steel structures. With the widespread use of steel structures, people's understanding of steel structures has deepened. However, the scale and differences between light steel structures and heavy steel structures are still not very clear, which often leads to many designers or project managers not fully understanding them.

Although there is no common standard between heavy steel structures and light steel structures in the industry, and many constructions now have both light and heavy steel, Xizhang welding robots can help everyone summarize and consider based on some data and make judgments.

Crane lifting capacity: Heavy steel structure ≥ 25 tons<Light steel structure.

Steel consumption per square meter: Heavy steel structure ≥ 50KG/M2<Light steel structure.

Component steel plate thickness: Heavy steel structure ≥ 10MM<Light steel structure.

Application areas: Petrochemical plant equipment, power plant buildings, large-span sports venues, exhibition centers, and high-rise or super high-rise steel structures using heavy steel structures. Lightweight roofs, lightweight exterior walls, and lightweight enclosures are generally made of light steel structures in general factory buildings.

Previous data reference: The cost per square meter of heavy steel structure is higher than that of light steel structure. For example, the maximum component weight of heavy steel structure is much more significant, and the maximum span, structural method, and eave height are also important data comparisons between light and heavy steel structures. Light steel and heavy steel share the same structural design concept and have no differences.

Xizhang welding robots have independently developed multiple equipment, including single machine welding workstations, ground rail welding robots, cantilever welding robots, etc. We welcome enterprises with needs for steel structure welding to contact us. E-MAIL： info@xzwelding.com
