Closing the Skill Gap in Rolling Operations
The Challenge
The Fabrication Skill Gap
In modern manufacturing, sourcing and retaining skilled operators is an obstacle. Precision rolling is as much a science as it is an art. When operators lack a deep understanding of material behavior under stress, companies face operational risks. Without specialized knowledge, even the most advanced fabrication technology cannot perform at its full potential.
Costly machine downtime
Costly machine downtime caused by incorrect operating parameters on high-capacity plate or angle rolls.
Reduced output quality
Reduced output quality when trying to achieve tight tolerances on complex geometries.
The solution?
The Training Academy is designed to transfer decades of engineering expertise directly to your team. We offer training programs led by expert technicians who specialize in both plate rolls (such as our 3-roll and 4-roll systems) and angle rolls (for profiles, channels, and beams).
Comprehensive, Hands-On Training
Our training is delivered through flexible paths designed to fit your operational schedule.
STEP 1
On-Site Training (During & After Installation)
Our field technicians train your operators on your shop floor using your specific machinery. We provide follow-up sessions to refine your team’s skills as they tackle real production runs.
STEP 2
Davi Headquarters Courses
We host training programs at our facility. These courses are open to both clients and authorized dealers, combining classroom theory with hands-on practice on actual machines.
STEP 3
Expert Instruction on All Rolling Technologies
Your team will learn directly from technicians who support Davi customers' operations. The curriculum covers plate rolls for handling plates from 6 mm to over 400 mm (0.23 inches to 15.7 inches) in thickness, and angle rolls capable of bending structural profiles up to 1,200 mm (47.2 inches) in height.
STEP 4
Rolling Skills Certification
Upon successful completion of the training, operators receive an official certification. This credential validates their technical competency, standardizes quality across your shifts, and serves as a milestone of professional expertise.
TECHNICAL FAQ
Training
Our angle roll training is designed for the high-capacity section bending industry, where mastering structural profiles is key to preventing workpiece distortion. The curriculum covers a wide range of standard profiles, specifically detailing flats, squares, rounds, angles, and T-shapes, as well as heavy structural components such as channels and beams up to 1,200 mm (47.2 inches) in height. Guided by expert technicians, operators learn how to set up our universal rolls and configure advanced accessories—such as the 3D Forming System for roller coaster structures or the Hydraulic Rolls Setup—to drastically reduce transition times between different profile batches while protecting the integrity of the material.
For job shops and specialized fabricators transitioning to automated mass production, our training programs provide a deep dive into the 4-roll planetary guides technology and the Industry 4.0 ready control systems. Operators learn to program and manage the machine's patented Servo-Tronic system for perfect rolls parallelism, as well as configure automated plate clamping to maintain exact positioning throughout the entire forming cycle. The program places special emphasis on utilizing our advanced CNC systems, training team members to import CAD files, recall programs, and use real-time diagnostics to run the line autonomously with maximum repeatability and efficiency.
Yes, our expert technicians deliver dedicated training on variable-axis plate rolling machines, which are conceptually similar to press-brakes but require specialized operational expertise to handle the independent movements of the rolls. The training specifically covers the horizontal movement of the side rolls and the vertical movement of the top roll on our heavy-capacity systems. Operators are trained to manage torque transmission, minimize flat-end pre-bending lengths, and master the Progressive Bumping Mode to execute highly accurate cone-bending operations on plates from 6 mm to over 400 mm (0.23 inches to 15.7 inches) in thickness.
Our curriculum features a dedicated advanced module for automated systems, training your operators to manage the synergy of our cutting-edge rolling technologies: the MCE e-POWER fully electric plate roll, the iRoll eXtreme control system, and the AI-Vision laser-based measurement system. Operators are taught how to utilize the high-definition laser measurement points to read bending radii in real time, enabling the CNC program to auto-correct for material springback without human intervention. This specialized training empowers your team to run fully autonomous "Autorolling" production lines, eliminating trial-and-error, minimizing test scrap, and keeping operators safely away from the machine.
