New Investment in Automation

Wilson & Gilkes recently invested in a new Sal­vagni­ni P2Xe panel bender. The benefit for clients of the Make Man­u­fac­tur­ing Division is faster delivery and expanded range of complex bending options.

The Sal­vagni­ni P2Xe is a world leader in sheet metal bending. This extremely fast machine bends au­to­mat­i­cal­ly 2D punched/cut blanks, producing finished panels bent on four sizes. Human in­ter­ven­tion is required only for loading and unloading of part.

En­vi­ron­ment factors are a major con­sid­er­a­tion for all Wilson & Gilkes products and processes. The P2Xe compact panel bender has undergone con­tin­u­ous im­prove­ment over the years, not only in­creas­ing its ef­fi­cien­cy and per­for­mance but also reducing its energy con­sump­tion by more than 50%. The use of highly efficient com­po­nents, the reduction in heat dis­per­sion on the machine and the intensive uti­liza­tion of low-energy actuators for op­er­a­tions that do not require special power (such as handling and centering) have con­tributed to this reduction in con­sump­tion.
