Original Press Release:



Nothing Can Outproduce the New Salvagnini S4N Punching and Shearing Machine



HAMILTON, OH (July 26,2004) - The new Salvagnini S4N punching and shearing machine delivers unrivaled speed and flexibility with the push of the "Start" button. Conceived with the concept of process as its guiding principle, every detail of the new S4N is designed to provide the finest in material handling; punching and shearing; programming and diagnostics for consistent quality and flexible manufacturing.

The new S4N's increased productivity and throughput are achieved by dramatically reducing the distance of sheet travel required to punch parts. The Salvagnini patented multi-press head, combined with an integrated shear will punch and cut parts with the speed, precision and accuracy that outpaces any ordinary turret machine. Unlike turret presses, which must be indexed before each operation, all of the S4N's 96 punching tool stations are live, eliminating tool change time and providing far faster and far more flexible production.

Based upon Salvagnini's scalable, building block approach to flexible manufacturing, the S4N is the ideal nucleus for growing a complete FMS system - with the ability to add additional Salvagnini laser cutting and bending equipment as future growth and production requirements change.

Other features of the S4 include:

o Punching and shearing speed of 3-5 times faster than a turret punch press

o Sheet feeding in 8 seconds

o Automatic stacking of punched parts

o 10 Gauge punching capacity

o Automatic scrap handling

o Dynamic sheet nesting

o Considered to be the most productive punching machine available in the market
