PERformER+ - Panel Bender
Programmable and automatic machine for the production of sheet metal panels
through the formation of a number of bends on each of the four sides.
The machine has the following specifications: -numeric control of the sheet centering references on both axes; automatic
set up of the references;
-ability to produce the first bend flattened at 180 degrees (positive and
negative safe edge);
-ability to program the stop of the descending blankholder from 0 to 6.496"
(165 mm) in order to obtain, for example, an open safe edge;
-maximum number of bends on each side: free;
-ability to make both upwards and downwards bends, but the last bend on each
side must be an upwards bend;
-ability to bend pre-painted sheets or silked stainless steel, when protected
by plastic film (however, the quality of the material must be verified
according to the application);
-discontinuous rotator at 90, 180 and 270;
-the blankholder is equipped with left and right contractible end segments,
which allow the production of two different bending lengths within the same
cycle, without intervention of the operator
-an electrical coil can be programmed, by means of graphic interface software
(Oil Heating), to come on so as to bring the oil in the hydraulic circuit to
the working temperature at a programmed time (it only works when the power
cabinet is on);
-work surface equipped with circular inserts with plastic brushes; it allows
the panel to be moved easily without marking the contact surface and reduce
the noise level during the production cycle;
-hermetically insulated power cabinet provided with an automatic device for
the ventilation and the internal temperature control;
Cooling
Two independent closed cooling circuits are installed in the machine.
a)Oil cooling circuit
An oil-air-cooler is installed to maintain a constant oil temperature in the
hydraulic circuit. The specific refrigerating capacity is 0.5 kW/K. That
corresponds to 10 kW refrigerating capacity at a difference in temperature of
20 K.
b)Electrical cabinet cooling circuit
A cooling unit with a refrigerating capacity of 0.8 kW is installed to
maintain a constant temperature inside the electrical cabinet. The ecological
refrigerant R134a is used in this cooling circuit.
Programming
The programming can be made directly on the elaboration unit of the system
without interrupting the current working cycle. The language is high
level; the defined macroinstructions express geometrical concepts (ANGLE,
RADIUS, LENGTH). The post- processor is included; it analyzes the syntax and
the geometry of the programming macroinstructions, transforming them in data
useful to the working cycle of the PERformER+, furthermore it manages the
movements of the manipulator, also considering the forming of the sheet metal,
and it automatically calculates the gripping points;
A graphic user interface simplifies the use and programming of the machine.

SiX - Control system
High performance proprietary control system distributed on 3 levels.
- Elaboration unit for managing and supervising the machine. The unit is
composed of a HP workstation with Windows XP Professional (English) operation
system equipped with: SATA hard disk, two ETHERNET TCP/IP network cards, UTP
cable with RJ45 connector and analog modem for information exchange between
the system and various Salvagnini depts. such as Service, Automation, Studies
& Applications.
The workstation is equipped with HW and SW System Backup package composed of
an RHD (Removable Hard Disk) and of the management software that allows the
customer to automatically backup the whole main HD into the new RHD support.
The operator is automatically and periodically reminded to carry out the
backup
procedure by video warnings
The workstation, which is an integral part of the SiX control system, is
tested and configured according to exact Salvagnini specification to
communicate with the control unit and grant remote service. The hardware and
software configurations cannot be modified by the customer.
-Control unit which communicates in real-time with the interface section
through a high- performance VME bus and a field bus (Ethernet o CANopen).
-Input/output interface section towards peripheral devices such as motors,
solenoid valves, sensors, etc.
The UPS (Uninterruptible power supply unit) installed inside the system power
cabinet allows the Six control and the elaboration unit to be correctly shut-
down in case of sudden blackouts.
JOB.CONSOLE - Software for managing the production and the P2
JOB.CONSOLE is the set of software packages integrated in the SiX control
system, which graphically allows the system to be easily used, managed and
supervised by supplying you with all the information required to carry out
production.
Furthermore, the information relevant to system operation is collected and
arranged in order to make it available for a correct system monitoring.
JOB.CONSOLE includes the following modules:
Salvagnini Console
Main console for an intuitive management of the system which allows you to:
-easily save and find programs thanks to graphic tree structure
-use an editor for a simple correction of the programs
-semi-automatically move parts of the system, by means of a graphic
interface, useful to easily use or access the system.
JOB P4
Application used to dynamically schedule daily production; you can create a
sequence of programs named "job" or list, on screen. JOBP4 allows you to queue
and modify the sequence of jobs without waiting that the job being processed
is finished. The production can be interrupted and then re-started from where
it was interrupted. The programs that require a manual changeover of the
system setup must be grouped in separate Jobs.
Salvagnini Compiler
The Salvagnini compiler interprets programming instructions based on
geometrical principals (e.g.: finished dimension of the panel, length of the
edge to be bent and angle to be obtain on each bend) and defines the
production cycle calculating sheet metal handling and cycle time. The compiler
supplies the dimensions of the unfolded, information on program integrity and
suggestions on wrong info. Moreover, it can simultaneously compile groups of
programs arranged in work directories.
Maintenance Manager
Database of the analyses of the movements and cycles of the system components
for an easy maintenance and wear checking of some parts; it includes a list of
maintenance checks to be performed. You can add further checks or alarms to
parts of the system.
EasyData
Diagnostic software integrated with the NC to interactively browse
documentation using "web" technology (photos, hyperlinks, part code and
automatic filters).
EasyData supplies information pertaining to each component managed by the
Salvagnini NC. The system wiring or fluid-mechanical diagrams can be looked up
directly on screen, automatically filtered on the component being diagnosed or
by text searching the documentation.
You can also:
-enrich the photo library with your own photos or notes
-print one or more documental diagrams on paper or export them in PDF or JPG
EasyData does not contain the documentation of any third party components
integrated in the Salvagnini systems.
CLA-A - Auxiliary bending tool asymmetric command for positive bends
Option of the panel bender composed of two NC devices able to independently
and asymmetrically position the auxiliary bending tools along the lower blade
in order to make bends with interrupted bending edge (e.g. welding tabs).
