Salvagnini’s S4 + P4 line
EuroBLECH 2006 review
Both robots can work independently on either side
of the machine. The I-Brake can be programmed
via graphical touch-screen user controls. The basic
model can also be equipped with an integrated
tool change and gripper system.
The E-Brake 200-4100 features a new drive
system to cope with higher forces (no crowning
is needed).
Also on display at the Salvagnini stand was its

up and stacking parts) and the new ADL loader/
unloader. The L1’s focusing head has been re-
designed to accept 5” and 7.5” lenses. Its new
motorized balanced lens axis has reduced cycle
times while increasing cutting quality (the cutting
pressure required is 1-1.5 bars lower than usual),
says Salvagnini. New features also include an
improved fume extractor, smaller chiller, improve-
ments to the nesting software and SiX controller
(with digital drives).
