The New Salvagnini P4 3216ABT® Panel Bender Expands Application Potential
HAMILTON, OH (February 12, 2004) - The new Salvagnini P4 3216ABT® panel bender, introduced during the October, 2003 Emo show in Milan, Italy, is now available for worldwide shipment. Responding directly to customer requests for increased maximum sheet thickness and bend height capacities, the new P4 can be used on many applications that previously could only be formed on a press brake. That means the benefits of lean manufacturing - instant flexibility, high production and unmanned operation are now available to a new universe of sheet metal fabricators.
The spectrum of products that can be manufactured on the highly efficient Salvagnini panel bender has been dramatically expanded. The new P4 3216ABT (which replaces the earlier P4 3212) can work with incoming sheets up to 137" long, and produce finished parts that are .120" thick, 125" long, with 6.50" of flange height. Like its predecessor, the P4 3216ABT is ideal for fast, flexible, and lean panel bending. The new system can also integrate universal tooling, easy to use production software, and automated material handling into a single unit that delivers the ultimate in lean manufacturing.
The newest P4 is also fitted with an electronic pump that is only called into use when service demands require it, thereby reducing energy consumption - and energy costs - by as much as 60%.
The new P4 3216ABT comes complete with Salvagnini's exclusive Advanced Bending Technology. This remarkable set of automated procedures directs all bending activities, monitors environmental and material changes, and makes necessary machine adjustments to maintain accuracy and consistency. Salvagnini craftsmanship is built into the P4 and all of its support systems. The first part produced is always a quality part, whether imported as a new CAD drawing or selected from the program's archive of previously manufactured designs. Single piece part production, kit production, or batch production - it's all the same to the P4 3216ABT. Select the part and quantity to be manufactured, press the "start" button, and watch as finished parts exit the machine. The net result of these improvements is a 10% reduction in cycle times, making the world's fastest, most efficient panel bender even more productive.
For more than 30 years, Salvagnini has served the global metalworking industry by designing, manufacturing, marketing and servicing flexible sheet metal processing systems, machines, process software and tooling for the lean manufacturing factory. Major product lines include punching and shearing, automatic panel bending and laser cutting systems. And as the originator of automation in the sheet metal fabricating sector, Salvagnini offers complete material handling capabilities, including Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS), robotic loading/unloading, conveying and parts manipulation. More than 2,500 Salvagnini systems are in operation in more than 50 countries around the world.
