Davi Inc. has introduced its new iVision laser radius measuring system, designed for its e-POWER fully electric machines, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize the plate rolling process. This system aims to address the challenge of losing experienced operators as they retire, bringing decades of expertise into a simpler and more automated process. With iVision, plate rolling shops can operate unmanned, improving both speed and accuracy.
The iVision system utilizes a combination of AI and a specialized algorithm to perform real-time measurements and self-correction through the CNC of the e-POWER machines. This enhances the rolling process by eliminating the need for manual adjustments and templates, making the process more efficient. In traditional rolling operations, operators often manually check the radius with a template, adjust the machine, and repeat this process several times until the desired result is achieved. iVision streamlines this by automatically adjusting the machine, ensuring precise results faster and with less reliance on highly skilled operators.
One of the key features of the iVision system is its use of a “laser blade” that scans a wider area compared to the traditional single-point laser beam. This reduces the risks associated with material surface irregularities or environmental conditions, such as light reflections, which can interfere with measurements. Additionally, the laser head can move vertically and tilt to ensure it is always in the ideal position for accurate measurement, regardless of the radius size.
Once the system takes a measurement, it sends the data to the machine’s CNC, which makes real-time adjustments to the side rolls. Davi also offers the iRadius version, which provides a digital readout for operators to make adjustments manually when CNC controls are not available. Both iVision and iRadius eliminate the need for manual radius measurement using templates, significantly increasing operational efficiency, particularly in shops handling large parts.
Alessandro Soffritti, President and CEO of Davi, emphasized the value of iVision, stating that the system helps shops boost productivity and accuracy while automating the plate rolling process, offering a return on investment in just one year.
