“A new, prestigious recognition to the ability to innovate and a lot of attention to the news and innovative technologies” – Salvador
“We arrived at Xylexpo extremely confident, but we never imagined it would be such a positive experience and important for our company.” Christian Salvador has no doubt in commenting on the results of the XXV edition of the biennial of technologies for wood processing, held in Milan from 24 to 28 May.
“We had a number of contacts at least twice the previous edition-added Salvador – and the strong feeling that many may turn into orders.” He added further.
A confirmation of the performances done in recent years is also the conquest -after the award on communication at Xylexpo 2014 and the “Gold Medal” at Drema in Poznan in 2015 – of the third prize for innovation, the XIA-XYLEXPO INNOVATION AWARDS highlighting the technological evolution of “Superangle 600 ALL IN-1”, a successful machine, made even more versatile by adopting a new software “Salvawood” and measures which allow not only to rapidly and easily cut wooden elements at different angles, but also to drill, thanks to the respective groups designed and developed for applications in the sofa’s furniture industry, for which the company in San Vendemiano is already imagining many other uses.
In a nutshell, we can say that the drilling group, positioned before the blade, allows for a perpendicular drilling of the pieces with diameters between 6 and 16 mm, suited for the application and/or integration of accessories or hardware in the manufacturing of increasingly complex sofas. The machine commands four axes overall, offering the possibility of working on two boards simultaneously. Equipped with a separate and independent cells chain loader, in addition to a buffer unloader, the new version of the “Superangle” will be able to work without the operator’s intervention, substantially increasing the productivity of the companies which will choose it.
Grouping three different operations (cutting, drilling, automation) that until now were performed by three different machines will therefore allow, apart from high savings on labor costs, to significantly increase the automation level, to rationalize the logistics and to digitize operations that couldn’t be managed at a flow level before.
A new surprising solution because after all, “to surprise” is a vocation for Salvador: with the results, showing a very important performance in the last years; with the innovation of its machines, more and more oriented towards being instruments through which each operator can do his job in the easiest and most profitable way; with the desire to present itself on the market in the best possible way, therefore with the right tools to communicate with the press and its partners, with a new logo, website and an adequate corporate image.
At Xylexpo this complex project, which has marked the latest Salvador season, was completed with a new, important development:
“Everything we have achieved on many levels in the last years, even though we are a small company, is now completed at an industrial level –announced Christian Salvador – with the strategic choice to shortly launch a new production facility entirely dedicated to the production of “entry level” machines, a part of our production which in recent times has seen a growing demand and which, at the same time, allows us to structure a more “industrial”, serial process, therefore with volumes which are expected to be interesting.
The new factory will be built in Poland, not only because it is proving to be a market that offers great satisfactions and opportunities, but because Salvador has developed and tested here a series of reports and connections in the production field, that lay the groundwork for a project designed for an “intelligent production” of “Salvador Easy” machines, but at a price and quality that places them in the “first purchase” segment.“For some time now we have realized –continued Salvador –that more and more people are interested in the semiautomatic crosscutting saws and in the pusher optimizing saws. Solutions that will undoubtedly enhance the work management and will give an immediately perceptible economic return.That’s why we decided to increase our attention to “entry level” solutions, so as to have the necessary tools – a good quality, extremely reliable production machine productive at a tempting price – to show that this is the way to go and conquer new market shares among the small and medium-sized woodworking companies.
The stated goal is to create a sort of “literacy process” towards this technology, to convince artisans and many potential small-medium customers that cutting wood and abandoning the traditional systems, while still working safely, besides having an excellent price-quality ratio, will allow a very fast amortisation.
At Xylexpo
It is therefore an important Xylexpo edition for Salvador, a “small” company that understood that it is necessary to “think big”, by creating opportunities, projects, strategies that will allow to continue the prestigious recent years growth. The Salvador stand at Xylexpo was a representation of all this, in the heart of pavilion 2, dedicated to massive machines, alongside industry giants. Many machines that could be seen at the exhibition, starting from “Superangle 600 ALL IN-1”,there was also space for “Supercut 500”, the family which the “Super fast”version is part of, redesigned in the cutting system for greater speed, reducing the cutting time to a few hundredths of a second, a really excellent result also made possible thanks to the chain loader able to handle the loading tables “lung”. The solution, especially for those companies that need to cut many pieces as fast as possible, so as to become truly competitive and to protect the operators’ safety.
In Milan, Salvador’s warhorses were also present, completely restyled as well. They include the “Superpush 200”, a very flexible pusher optimizing saw, also available in the “Window”version which –with specific accessories and printed on labels or on wood –is proving to be a highly appreciated solution for the window and door frames industry. Also this machine has recently been updated with the adoption of a new Salvador software version, that further makes it strong and versatile, as well as extremely easy to program.
Salvador also exhibited in the stand set up at Fiera Milano-Rho the“Classic 50”and“Classic 60”, manual “entry level” crosscutting saws. These are “simple” solutions, as reducing as this definition sounds, as they are totally efficient, safeguarding the operator’s safety, which has always been a top priority for Salvador.
