Advanced hybrid technology punching-shearing center
Introducing the Salvagnini S4.G4: a hybrid punching-shearing machine offering unmatched productivity, efficiency, and flexibility.
Performance greater than the sum of its parts
Designed for businesses seeking unparalleled productivity, flexibility, and efficiency, the S4.G4 integrates punching, forming, and part separation in one seamless operation. Backed by over 45 years of innovation, the S4.G4 is ideal for companies in sectors ranging from HVAC to metal furniture, ensuring consistent, high-quality output while drastically reducing lead times.
Product overview

Multi-press head: tools always available
The multi-press head has a die structure housing up to 117 thick turret tools in stations B, C and D, the latter with a maximum force of 30 tons, all with a 9 mm sharpening margin and all available on the area of the largest sheet. The head can also mount lower cylinders and, on station D, Multitool forming tools. Each tool is actuated individually and is always available.
High-performance tools
The thick turret tools recommended for S4.G4 are those designed and manufactured by Matrix Tools. On the market for over 40 years, the company covers the whole production chain manufacturing standard, parametric and tailored solutions to meet specific needs, always guaranteeing the highest standards of quality and reliability.


TOOLS
TOOLS is the new Salvagnini software module for the graphic management of the punching tool database in punching-shearing centers and punch-laser combi machine. It defines the tools interactively and graphically, simplifying the insertion of punches of various shapes, creating set-ups for punching heads, and managing the behavior of each punch and die when associated with different materials and thicknesses.
Tapping? No problem
An optional electrical tapping unit, which can house up to 6 different tools, can be installed to the side of the operating head. It does not steal any room from the tools as it is positioned outside the head.

Manipulator: accurate referencing and fast scrap-free processing
The manipulator centers the sheet when machining begins. It has a maximum stroke of 3030 mm which allows sheets of up to 3048 mm to be machined without regripping, and has 9 pneumatic pincers with independent opening and closing, extending the possibility of machining nests without any holding scrap and reducing scrap. It has a patented hand-over system that modulates the dynamics according to the weight of the sheet metal being processed.
Integrated shear
The shear is composed of two 500 mm blades, which are independent and orthogonal to each other, equipped with blankholders, for cutting any length. Installed next to the multi-press head, the shear is a distinctive solution and unique on the market, ensuring optimal, constant alignment and superior machining quality.

Automation plays an increasingly important role: it reduces the risk of loading and unloading becoming bottlenecks, and can help to reduce the impact of labor costs. The Salvagnini loading/unloading and sorting connections satisfy all automation requirements: from stand-alone operation, to integration in flexible cells or in automatic lights-out factories.
Intelligent system, constant quality
Practically everything you ever wanted to know about the S4.G4 punching-shearing center, satisfactorily explained.
Software
Industry has changed: flexibility and efficiency are fundamental requirements for managing increasingly smaller batches or rapid item turnover rate. And developments in technology have in some way upset the balance between workloads, with increasingly fast systems which however need to be guided by more and more specific machine programs, the generation of which is increasingly time-consuming. This is why software is increasingly crucial to improving the efficiency of machinery.
Salvagnini’s IoT solution, increases the global efficiency of the punching machine. LINKS allows real-time monitoring of the machine’s performance and independent analysis.
