Company : Salvagnini
Model : S4
Sheet metal punching working station
The S4 model is an advanced punching-shearing center designed for businesses that require high productivity, flexibility, responsiveness, and efficiency.
With an uninterrupted presence for over 45 years and continuous technological developments, the S4 offers a complete solution that integrates punching, forming, and separation—all in one machine.
Main advantages
- Process efficiency: S4 maximizes machining efficiency: all actions—loading, drilling, forming, part separation, and unloading—are performed automatically by a single system, without intermediate semi-finished parts and without manual intervention.
- Intelligent, adaptive system: The machine incorporates technologies that allow it to automatically adapt to changes such as sheet dimensions, material thickness, thermal expansion of axes, and controller dynamics. For example, the centering system measures the incoming sheet and modifies the program if necessary.
- “Multi-Press Head” machine tool unit: The S4 head can include a large number of tools (turret) — up to 117 tool positions in some versions. The tools are already in the machining area and no tool change is required within the machining cycle (“in-cycle retooling”) — which significantly reduces processing times.
- Integrated automation & modular access: The S4 supports automation connections for feeding, loading/unloading, sorting, and storage — from stand-alone solutions to complete production lines.
- Sustainability & efficiency: S4 uses hybrid actuators that cut energy consumption by up to ~20% compared to similar electric solutions and need less maintenance.

Why choose S4;
- Reduced production start-up and tool change times — thanks to the multi-press head that does not require re-adjustment during the cycle.
- Increased productivity and minimized scrap through the integrated loading → machining → unloading process on a single machine
- High flexibility: from small batches to large productions, with the possibility of connecting to full automation and Industry 4.0.
- Lower operating costs: energy savings, less maintenance, better performance.
