Plate Roll - MCB (4 rolls) - Vertical Configuration
Heavy Plate Rolling: Davi MCB 4-Roll Vertical Rolling Machine (MCB/V) Live Workshop Testing
Customer Need & Context
Fabricating large-diameter cylinders, tall storage tanks, or specialized SMR/AMR nuclear vessels presents material handling challenges. When rolling heavy plates horizontally, gravity causes thin-wall or high-aspect-ratio shells to deflect or collapse under their own weight, requiring expensive overhead support systems, complex crane maneuvers, and increased labor risk.
The Davi Solution
The MCB 4-Roll in vertical configuration (MCB/V) eliminates structural plate sagging by leveraging gravity naturally throughout the bending process. Shown here during live testing at our headquarters in Cesena, Italy, this machine utilizes Davi’s planetary guides to deliver maximum bending force while minimizing top-roll deflection. The MCB/V maintains total electronic, hydraulic, and mechanical roll alignment even during complex forming sequences.
