Fully Electric Steel Plate Roll Machine



Davi Inc. introduced its new fully electric e-POWER plate roll machine at this year's FABTECH show in Chicago.

"In terms of electric plate rolls in the rolling market future, e-POWER is the epitome of Davi's commitment to innovation and cutting-edge technology," said Alessandro Soffritti, President and CEO of Davi, Inc. "It is a direct result of Davi's dedicated research and development department's capability to design new products that push the boundaries of performance."

"Because it is electric, the e-POWER plate roll machine achieves a positioning accuracy of five hundredths," said a Davi spokesperson. "This is compared to the typical one-tenth precision normally offered. With such precise control and positioning, the machine ensures repeatable and reliable results for a variety of applications, delivering exceptional quality and accuracy in the end product."

"For increased productivity, e-POWER's smooth and simultaneous movement across multiple axes allows the machine to execute multiple tasks concurrently," continued the spokesperson.

Service and maintenance are simplified with e-POWER. Maintenance tasks are cleaner and more straightforward because of the system's single actuator component. Instead of having to disassemble the actuator, users can easily replace it and ship the actuator back to Davi for rebuilding. This streamlined approach means that even a licensed electrician can handle the replacement, eliminating the need for a specialized technician in certain phases. The e-POWER also minimizes the need for interventions and eliminates points of leakage commonly found in traditional machines.

To conserve valuable production floor space, e-POWER eliminates the need for hydraulic control units, which contributes to its compact design and makes it more space-efficient. The compact design of e-POWER also makes for easy integration into various production settings. By reducing the number of components, the installation process is simple and less time-consuming.

e-POWER is designed to reduce energy consumption. As an intelligent system, e-POWER utilizes energy only when necessary, much like the efficient start-stop function commonly found in automobiles. "This innovative approach to energy management proves to be particularly advantageous in plate rolling processes where there are frequent idle times during the operation," said the spokesperson.

"Electric plate rolls, like e-POWER, offer additional benefits. These include quieter operation, reduced noise pollution on the production floor and an enhanced working environment for operators. Electric motors also require less maintenance."

e-POWER is equipped with advanced control systems that enable operators to program and automate various rolling parameters, including speed, pressure and bending angles.
