Circumference Measurement
A digital tool used to verify the exact outer or inner perimeter of a rolled shell, providing critical data for precise edge-to-edge alignment in subsequent assembly lines.
Technical FAQ
Eliminating material waste and avoiding secondary cutting operations is a primary goal for high-productivity job shops looking to protect their margins. A flat end is the straight, unbent section left at the leading and trailing edges of a plate because the material cannot physically reach the exact tangent contact point between the machine rolls. Minimizing this straight section directly reduces material scrap and eliminates the time-consuming process of pre-bending plates on a separate press brake, thereby accelerating overall floor cycle times. Utilizing Davi all-rolls-drive technology ensures the plate can be positioned precisely at the tangent point to achieve the shortest flat end possible without compromising safety.
When assembling long vessels or wind towers, even minor variations in the circumference of matching sections can cause alignment issues. This digital tool scans and records the exact outer perimeter length of a rolled cylinder during the calibration phase. It provides data to ensure adjacent sections will fit together perfectly in the growing line, reducing weld preparation times. Davi integrates circumference measurement systems into its heavy-duty wind energy production lines.
