How are the gigantic foundations for offshore wind turbines built and what do specialized milling machines from Austria have to do with it? In this episode, we dive into the world of monopiles and explore how Miba Automation Systems supports the production of these enormous steel structures. Together with Jakob Walchetseder (Sales) and Andreas Schranzinger(Head of Research & Development), we talk about how circular and longitudinal seam milling machines work and why precise weld seam preparation is essential for offshore wind power.

You’ll learn how monopiles with diameters of up to 15 meters are manufactured from massive steel plates, why the so-called tulip shape is crucial when welding thick materials, and how Miba brings mobile machining solutions directly to the component. We also share insights into innovation at Miba Automation Systems: from highly customized one-off machines to new approaches that combine milling and welding processes, helping customers reduce production times and increase efficiency.

An episode about giant steel constructions, precision engineering on a massive scale, and how Austrian special-purpose machinery contributes to making offshore wind energy more efficient and reliable: another important contribution to “Technologies for a Cleaner Planet.”
