Salvagnini Maschinenbau is celebrating the production of its 4000th panel bender. The milestone, celebrated at the Ennsdorf, Austria plant, is for CMAlifts, an Italian manufacturer of elevators and lifting platforms.
Salvagnini says it is consolidating its leadership in panel bending technology with over 4000 installations in 80 countries, Europe’s largest plant entirely dedicated to panel bender manufacturing, over 600 technology specialists and more than 40 years of experience. Since 1977, when Guido Salvagnini designed and built the first P4, the panel bender has never stopped evolving: today it is a fully automatic solution for the modern smart factory.
Salvagnini Maschinenbau’s 4000th panel bender is part of an industrial journey marked by significant milestones: number 1000 (installed in Germany, 2006), number 1500 (USA, 2011), number 2000 (Korea, 2016) and number 3000 (China, 2020).
Number 4000 is a Generation 4 P4-3220 with a maximum bending length of 3200 mm and a maximum bending height of 203 mm. The machine is configured with CUT, CLA, CLA/N, P, PSE and DPM options, broadening its application range. It will see integration into an FSL (flexible smart line), which also includes an S4 punching machine and multiple automation devices, at the new fully automated factory that CMAlifts is building in Corato, Italy.
“Being part of the Salvagnini Group’s history is a source of pride for the whole CMAlifts team,” says Giulio Caputo, CMAlifts Co-CEO. “This P4 reflects our culture of continuous growth and innovation. With the new P4 we will manufacture many panels fully automatically, even our most complex profiles, with consistent quality and shorter lead-times.”
