Extended Feeding System
An automated material handling arrangement equipped with smart manipulators that continuously rotate, position, and align heavy plates for high-volume cylindrical and conical rolling.
Technical FAQ
Wind tower and monopile manufacturers need to choose the right automation level for handling variable conical sections. Adaptive systems rely on shop cranes for initial plate placement and use pushers for fine alignment, whereas extended systems feature automated manipulators that continuously adjust, align, and feed plates for both cylinders and cones. An extended feeding system delivers continuous, automated cone processing without crane dependence, maximizing safety and speed. Davi's Smart Line for wind energy utilize extended continuous feeding technology to optimize cycle times.
