Invented by Salvagnini.
Perfected by Salvagnini.
From the dawn of the industrial revo- lution until the mid-seventies, forming parts from sheet metal was mainly accomplished on a press brake.
But in 1977, everything changed. No longer did an operator have to stand in front of a brake and hand feed parts. Salvagnini had invented the flexible, automated P4 panel bender.
The P4Xe and P2Xe Panel Benders
The 2012 family of Salvagnini panel benders are the constantly evolving descendants of the original P4. Today’s P4Xe and P2Xe employ zero setup time, universal tooling, Automated Bending Technology (ABTTM), and reduced energy consumption to automatically produce parts – switching from batch to kit to single piece part production with total flexibility, reliability and consistently high part quality.
PANEL BENDERS
Lean. Efficient. Accurate.
Whether used in a stand-alone mode, or in-line with a punch shear, punch- laser,orlaser,aSalvagninipanelbender is the fastest, most cost efficient way to get from punched blank to a finished part. That means reduced work in process, just in time, lean production. It means increased profitability.
Salvagnini panel benders. The first. And the best.
