Gantry Loader
A rail-mounted overhead crane system integrated into a rolling line to automatically lift, transport, and position raw plates onto the feeding table.
Technical FAQ
High-volume automatic production lines require continuous material loading without manual lifting intervention to sustain output. A gantry loader is an automated overhead crane system equipped with vacuum or magnetic lifting grids to move raw plates onto the feed line. It enables fully hands-free material handling, lowers labor costs, and maintains a highly consistent production pace for mass production. Davi custom-integrates high-productivity robotic and gantry loading lines for plates ranging from 1 to 6 meters (3.28 to 19.68 feet) in width.
Removing completed cylinders quickly from a 4-roll machine minimizes cycle delays during high-volume production. A plate ejector is a hydraulic mechanism that pushes the finished, rolled cylinder forward off the top roll once the drop-end yoke opens. It shortens cycle times by accelerating part removal and eliminates the need for operators to manually pull heavy shells from the work area. Davi integrates automated ejector systems into its high-speed production lines for sectors like automotive and HVAC fabrication.
