“I am 100% satisfied with our investment, because it’s exactly what we needed: while on average we produced a batch of 40/50 conditioners in 20 days, today we produce a batch of 200 parts in 10 days.”

Operating mode: simple, quick and lean
Bending on each side of the sheet is achieved thanks to the controlled interpolated movements of the blades.
Flexible automation
Upper and lower blade, counterblade and blankholder are the four universal tools used to process the whole range of thicknesses and machinable materials, from 0.4 to 3.2 mm, during the cycle and without machine down times or manual re-tooling.
Proprietary bending formula
Developed over the years, the bending formula defines the force and manages the movements of the universal tools, analyzing different parameters in real time, including deflections, temperature and thickness, guaranteeing the precision, repeatability and quality of the finished product.
Automatic manipulator: fast and accurate
Quickly and fully automatically, this moves, handles, grips and rotates the sheet metal throughout the whole machining cycle. It requires no manual interventions during the cycle. The operator positions the sheet metal on the worktable and collects the product after bending, performing only the loading and unloading operations.
P-Robot
P-Robot is the application combining a Salvagnini panel bender with a robot to produce kits, batches, and single parts autonomously.
