Abstract
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.
