Bay-Lynx developed their first commercially
available BEAM CAMBERING MACHINE for the
STRUCTURAL FABRICATION INDUSTRY over two decades ago for their own Steel Fabrication shop. Knowing the short-comings of other manufacturers they continuously improved their product, Today Bay-Lynx offers ten (10) different size models
to fulfill any CAMBERING requirement from
small commercial buildings to highway bridges and CAMBER BEAMS at a fraction of the cost of mill or heat cambering.
Bay-Lynx CAMBERING MACHINES utilize two
primary hydraulic cylinders spaced some distance
apart. This distributes the bending
over a certain length of the beam; thus, the strains from the direct pressure on the web and the
bending are not concentrated at one spot as is the case when
a single ram is used. This, along
with special guides and supports, reduces the possibility of twisting and buckling.
All standard motors are 230/460 volt, 3
phase, 60 cycle; however, other motors are available,
often
at no increase in
price. Motor starters to match the customer's electrical power voltage
are available
These machines have
the proven reliability and efficiency that come from years of experience. All are
designed for ease and speed of operation and are
totally self-contained so that they can be
moved and stored when not in use. All can also be
used to straighten beams, tees, and other
shapes.

|
PROBLEM |
|
Determine the
man-hours required to camber fifteen (15) W18x50 beams 35 feet long
using a two man crew. Each beam is to have 1 1/4" camber.
Note: Handling time to transport beams to and from cambering machine
is not included.
(NOTE: this Handling time becomes
a virtual non-factor if the cambering machine is
built into the Material Handling
system)
|
|
SOLUTION |
|
(NOTE: if the machine is built into the Handling system and if
the machine has long stroke
cylinders the cost per ton is even less) go to VIDEOS
and view CAMBERING VIDEO
- Time required to change spacers and flange
support angles for new beam size = 20 minutes.
- Time required, by trial and error on first
beam, to determine total piston rod extension required to produce
desired camber = 15 minutes.
- Time required to camber remaining fourteen
(14) beams, i.e. picking a beam up off of one stack, placing it in
the machine, extending piston rod to the amount determined in step
2, and then removing the beam from the machine and placing it onto
a second stack @ 3 minutes per beam = 3 x 14 = 42 minutes.
- Total time required = 20 + 15 + 42 = 77
minutes.
- Total man-hours = 2 x 77 / 60 = 2.57 M.H.
- Direct cost per
beam @ $30.00 per M.H. = 2.57 x $30.00 / 15 =
$5.14.
- Direct cost per
ton = ($5.14 x 15) / (15 x 35 x 50)/2000) =
$5.87 per ton.
