Company: Salvagnini
Model: P4
Panel Bender
The P4 is Salvagnini’s advanced series of panel bending machines, designed for companies that require high flexibility, greater capacity, and increased productivity. It offers larger sheet lengths and widths, higher clamping force, and a wider bending range compared to the P2 series, making it ideal for demanding designs and a wide variety of products.
Main Features
Universal bending tools: Upper/lower blade, counter-blade, and blank-holder that automatically adapt to different sheet thicknesses and geometries, without stopping the machine or requiring manual adjustments.
Advanced Direct Drive actuators: Combination of pneumatic and electric actuators for precise movement, stability, and reduced energy consumption.
MAC 3.0 with sensors and dynamic algorithms: Monitors material parameters and adjusts movements in real time for accuracy, repeatability, and waste reduction.
Larger sheet lengths and widths: Supports larger parts compared to the P2, increasing productivity and product variety capabilities.
Industry 4.0 connectivity: Integration with LINKS, STREAM, and OPS software for full supervision, order tracking, and ERP/MRP system integration.
Technology & Productivity
The P4 combines high technology and ergonomics for fast, precise, and automated production. The tools automatically adapt to the sheet geometry, reducing cycle time and eliminating manual adjustments. The use of Direct Drive technology and advanced actuators ensures consistent results even for large or complex parts, while the MAC 3.0 system monitors and adjusts every movement in real time to minimize waste and maximize efficiency.
Application Field
The P4 is designed for industries requiring high flexibility and capabilities beyond entry-level models, covering small to large parts with various thicknesses and materials. It is ideal for batch production or variable production, custom orders, and complex designs, delivering consistent quality, high productivity, and full automation in metal component forming.
