The largest manufacturer of offshore wind towers in Northern Europe has ordered a new DAVI heavy four roll machine with the capability rolling steel 4.0 meters wide by 145mm thick.

Davi President Mr Orazio said that "It's the largest four roll machine in the world completely dedicated to building foundations for offshore wind towers. The Davi High Productivity Package convinced that top player to buy our Wind Tower system for its benefits in building giant parts with only one operator, all the while requiring less production time than competitive machines."

The Davi Productivity Package for wind towers has been updated with the Davi iRoll CNC. The software, based on Apple iPad, lets an operator draw a part to roll and then starts production by sending the program by iPad Wi Fi to the machine.

The iRoll puts all the information about the machine at a user's fingertips. Then it connects to the Davi Service Center to dialog directly with a technician, dedicated to supply the required support.

Mr Orazio added that the European company had purchased several four roll rolling machines in 1999 and 2001, and that let it work its way into the heavy duty offshore wind market with a machine capable of rolling steel 3.600 meters wide by 125mm thick.
