THE S4+P4 LINE – PIONEER IN FMS
The S4+P4 line is one of Salvagnini’s most popular solutions. It punches, shears and bends sheet metal totally automatically. The first prototype dates back to 1979 and is a landmark in the development of systems for integrated logistics. It remains the most efficient flexible manufacturing system (FMS) on the market today.

Since the beginning the S4+P4 was and remains the most efficient flexible manufacturing system (FMS) on the market.
Guaranteed flexible automation and kit production
The Salvagnini S4+P4 system punches, shears and bends metal parts from standard blanks with no intermediate handling of the partly machined workpieces.
Designed to operate in a totally automatic and integrated manner, the Salvagnini FMS S4+P4 line optimizes production lead-times and improves workshop logistics, thanks to the flexibility and capability of its proprietary control and programming software which make unmanned “lights-out” production a reality.
Automatic set-up in masked time ensures excellent levels of productivity and makes “batch one” production truly possible. The multi-press head, integrated shear, proprietary software, Punch&Cut function and flexible universal bending tool make kit and unmanned “lights-out” production a reality.
Exceptional modularity
The S4+P4 lines can be configured in a variety of ways, from the simplest to the most complex and highly automated, with devices for loading and unloading to and from automatic storage systems. This makes the installation extremely flexible and allows it to be fully personalized according to the space available and the characteristics of the production process.
Process Software
Opera-OPA is the package capable of satisfying requests from company resource management systems. The software receives production orders from ERP systems, analyses typical parameters such as quantity, codes, delivery and job priorities, generates the single part program by interfacing with the CAD/CAM software and creates work programs for the machines in the system.
If installed, the WMS software, which also interfaces in real-time with the management systems, fully monitors raw and semi-finished material over the entire production process, optimizing tray localization, permitting multi-pack storage and dynamically searching for free positions.
