Manufacturing Technology

Featuring revolutionary potential in the production of parts with a shank length up to 165mm, and the ability to feed wire lengths up to 200mm, the new CS 004 machine – available from Carlo Salvi from October 2024 – completes the Italian manufacturer’s range of double stroke headers.

With the possibility of forming parts with head diameters of 22mm, the new CS 004 stands out as a versatile and powerful solution for a wide range of applications. With a maximum production speed of 180ppm, the header delivers an impressive mix of performance and precision.

This new machine not only ensures high versatility in the production of long parts, but also stands out for its flexibility and precision. The header has been designed to deliver accurate and repeatable results, enabling fastener manufacturers to efficiently obtain
high-quality products. Furthermore, with the CS 004, Carlo Salvi SpA aims to become a key player in the construction industry. 

The ability to produce parts with new extended lengths, together with the possibility of forming wire with a diameter ranging from 4mm to 10mm, positions this machine as the essential ally for manufacturers looking for efficiency, versatility, and quality, in forming essential parts for the construction industry.

The new header has been designed with a series of innovations that further enhance its performance and reliability, ensuring superior results and a positive impact on overall productivity.

One distinctive feature of the CS 004 is the revolutionary part transfer system. The phase positioning based on the length of the piece has become more ergonomic and faster, thanks to a cam placed in the operator’s area, whose access and adjustment is simplified by loosening two screws. This innovation not only improves the efficiency of the production process but also represents Carlo Salvi’s clear commitment to workplace ergonomics.

Another revolutionary feature of the new CS 004 is the condition monitoring system. Strategically positioned sensors constantly monitor the machine temperature, preventing seizures and major damages that could cause significant machine downtime. The use of digital pressure switches in the lubrication circuits enables the ‘real time’ monitoring of the lubricant pressure, preventing damage to hydraulic pumps and mechanical components. Moreover, all this data can be integrated with Industry 4.0 technology, placing the machine on the front line of the fourth industrial revolution.

The CS 004 also stands out for its brand new oil tank with a recovery pump for collecting any accidental spills. This eco-friendly solution prevents the outflow of oil on the floor, avoiding possible leaks into the ground and confirming Carlo Salvi’s commitment to transitioning to more sustainable practices.

The parts conveying system with oil recovery has also been improved to ensure greater efficiency. Moreover, fume extraction directly from the collection funnel prevents oily films and vapours in the operators’ area and contributes towards maintaining a safer workspace.

As well as this, the CS 004 comes with a bedframe already prepared for the installation of two types of inductor coils in the die holder and cartridge right in the bedframe, providing the versatility of cold and warm forging as standard, which meets various production requirements.

Finally, the position of the wire straightening unit outside the machine, with an ergonomic platform for all adjustments and maintenance on the wire inlet side, emphasises the company’s focus on practicality and ergonomics. Carlo Salvi underlines: “The CS 004 will be ready for its market debut by the end of October 2024. This means that companies seeking cutting edge precision part production should prepare for a new standard of performance, versatility, and reliability, which promises to change the way the production of fastening systems is conceived.” 

“The CS 004 marks a commitment to innovation that will redefine the landscape of precision part manufacturing machines. The machine is on its way, and Carlo Salvi is ready to lead the industry to new standards of excellence. We eagerly await the beginning of this new era.”
