Faccin offshore wind foundation rolling system for thick cone bending

Offshore Foundation Manufacturing

Plate bending machines are crucial for the manufacturing of wind foundations like monopiles, jackets, tripods, transition pieces (TPs) and floating structures.

Faccin rolling systems blend precision, power, efficiency and high productivity. Their robust design with a heavy-duty base frame enables the bending of plates over 150 mm thick to form cans and cones. Moreover, integrated safety devices ensure secure operations.

These rolling systems are designed to achieve powerful bending force for precise pre-bending. They feature an electronic balancing system for maximum precision, optimised automatic calibration for efficiency, an effective hydraulic system for high speed and low power consumption, micro positioning technology for repeatability, and special transmission and centralised lubrication systems for reliability.
