For decades the structural steel fabrication industry has been challenged with finding, training and retaining employees to produce accurate layout in a productive manner. The E-LEXINGTON eliminates the need for a layout person to read a drawing, decipher the information, then use a steel tape, square and soap stone to mark the relative surfaces to indicate locations, welding codes and any additional pertinent information.
LASER PROFILE IDENTIFICATION
The laser system locates the section and the zero point for subsequent layout projection.
DETAIL ITEM PROJECTION
The required layout locations on the main member of the detail items are projected on the structural steel section.
DETAIL ITEM TACK WELD
Using the designated layout location, which was downloaded from the 3D model, the welder tacks the detail item on to the main member.
