June 2017 – Salvagnini Robotica, Salvagnini's new robotic applications project, officially opened its doors on the 19th of June for a modern plant that is innovative in manifold respects, also organisationally and logistically speaking, aimed at making this new Brendola facility the centre of excellence for press brake bending.

Ribbon-cutting ceremony for Salvagnini Robotica, the Salvagnini Group's new division for the development and manufacture of press brakes and associated robotic applications.

The birth of Salvagnini Robotica is a new milestone in the group's evolution, expanding its product range by investing in press brakes 4.0, bending solutions, namely smart solutions aimed at optimizing process efficiency. As it happens, it is more and more common for the bending stage to constitute a 'bottleneck' in the manufacturing process, a busy crossroads that needs to be crossed in order to make the production flow responsive and ensure it meets the time frames demanded by the market.

Ever-smaller production batches and increasingly extreme turnaround times mean production changes are continuous and frenetic, forcing companies to become flexible and efficient at every stage of the production process, especially downline from cutting, which has reached ever-higher levels of performance in recent years.

A longstanding advocate of innovation geared towards providing solutions to real manufacturing requirements in line with market demands, Salvagnini was quick to see this situation unfolding and thus embarked on a growth path that has culminated in the birth of Salvagnini Robotica, the plant dedicated to the design and manufacture of B3 press brakes and relevant robotic applications.
