For the Italian technology leader in high-tech machines for cold and hot wire forming, the year 2022 will be all about innovation, research, and development. 

Forecasts are difficult in times of a pandemic – but one thing is for certain: Carlo Salvi, the Italian expert for high-tech cold and hot wire forming machines, will continue to focus on its inventive spirit and innovative power in 2022. 

“We work on a number of projects, and they all have a common denominator: our vision of the future,” reports Marco Pizzi, Chief Executive Commercial Officer at Carlo Salvi.

Into the spotlight: CS 513 TH

Marco Pizzi: “At the trade show WIRE 2022 in Düsseldorf from June 20-24 we will showcase our new combined machine model CS 513 TH. It represents a new chapter in our company history – the first progressive header with integrated pointing and threading unit opens up a new market segment and will reduce the investment costs for our customers.” On the CS 513 TH, components are cold formed and subsequently pointed and threaded in order to obtain different kind of threads and grooves. 

“Actually, we had planned to present the machine in 2020 already, but we needed to postpone it because of the Covid pandemic. In the meantime, with implemented improvements on the technology of the machine,” states the C.C.O.
 

Attention to detail, optimized efficiency

The progressive five-die-header with integrated pointing and threading unit can process wires with a diameter of six to 13,5 millimeters. The minimum and maximum thread diameter is M6 and M12. The machine layout has been developed “in line“ in order to have a better accessibility and optimized ergonomics for the operator, the units are positioned in parallel. The threading movement is driven by a desmodromic cam for a gradual deformation and perfect synchronization between ram movement and introduction of the parts into the flat dies. A control system brings optimized efficiency, and a special device prevents two parts from being fed into the flat dies at the same time. The flat dies housing is suitable for bigger flat dies thicknesses for materials with high mechanical resistance.
 

Turnkey solutions

Carlo Salvi offers real turnkey solutions from a single source. Starting with initial consultations, then the development, production and fine-tuning of machines and of course also the customer service: The entire production process can be tailored and coordinated for the customer. The forming machines of Carlo Salvi offer enormous possibilities: thread rolling, drilling, and tapping are just a few of the many applications. The forming machines are specifically developed to meet customer requirements and to master complex shapes without any problems. 

All Carlo Salvi headers are equipped with a management system that enables the monitoring and control of processes at any time via remote access. Marco Pizzi: “We offer an extensive Industry 4.0 service package for maintenance and operations. For us, the interconnectedness also is an opportunity to continue to deepen our expertise and drive market expansion.”
 

The importance of human interaction

In recent years Carlo Salvi highlighted the importance of human interaction and relationships – especially in times of a pandemic. The digital project “Carlo Salvi Stories“ aimed to underline the significance of team spirit and solidarity. Many of the companies’ collaborations, the successes in Italy and around the world, as well as the interpersonal cooperation were portrayed on the website www.carlosalvistories.com. The human values and the entrepreneurial spirit are two main factors in the stories. The digital project is structured in various chapters and follows the experiences of the narrator – be it a client, partner, or employee of Carlo Salvi. 

Marco Pizzi: “Our team works on a new edition of the Carlo Salvi Stories for 2022. We are convinced that the new stories will be filled with many beautiful messages. We want to celebrate the people that we are working with. It is essential to highlight these relationships and collaborations, and at the same time to demonstrate authenticity and entrepreneurial spirit.” The Carlo Salvi Stories, written from the perspective of the customers, will also be available in book form.
