Overview
The Salvagnini S4Xe is a punching and shearing machine made in two sizes: the S4Xe 30 takes sheets up to 3048 x 1650 mm and the S4Xe 40 takes sheets up to 4064 x 1650 mm. Punching is done by an operating head, and the shear cuts along the X and Y axes either simultaneously or independently, so parts are separated from the sheet on the same machine that punches them.
In Salvagnini's table the two sizes differ only in sheet length. Width is 1650 mm on both. The maximum sheet diagonal is 3466 mm for the S4Xe 30; it is 4386 mm for the S4Xe 40. The smallest sheet either size accepts is 370 x 300 mm, which matters for shops that feed offcuts or pre-cut blanks.
Axis speeds are 132 m/min in X and 96 m/min in Y, with 163 m/min when both axes move together. Acceleration is 30 m/s2 in X and 15 m/s2 in Y, so X accelerates twice as hard as Y. On a nest with many short moves between hits it is acceleration, more than top speed, that sets the pace, which favours laying dense hole patterns along X.
Thickness limits are the same for punching and for shearing: 5.0 mm in aluminum (UTS 265 N/mm2), 3.5 mm in steel (UTS 410 N/mm2) and 2.0 mm in stainless (UTS 610 N/mm2), from a minimum of 0.5 mm. Each limit is tied to the stated tensile strength, so a stronger grade of the same material should be expected to have a lower limit than the table shows.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Punching and shearing on one machine, with X- and Y-axis cutting either simultaneous or independent
- Two sizes: the S4Xe 30 for 3048 x 1650 mm sheets and the S4Xe 40 for 4064 x 1650 mm sheets
- Axis speeds of 132 m/min in X and 96 m/min in Y, and 163 m/min with both axes moving
- X-axis acceleration of 30 m/s2, with 15 m/s2 on Y
- The same thickness limit for punching and shearing in each material, up to 5.0 mm in aluminum (UTS 265 N/mm2)
- Accepts sheets as small as 370 x 300 mm
Limitations
- Stainless is limited to 2.0 mm (UTS 610 N/mm2)
- Steel stops at 3.5 mm (UTS 410 N/mm2), so thicker plate needs another process
- Sheet width is 1650 mm on both sizes; only the length changes
- Y-axis speed and acceleration, 96 m/min and 15 m/s2, are lower than the 132 m/min and 30 m/s2 of X

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Sheet length. The S4Xe 30 takes sheets up to 3048 x 1650 mm with a maximum diagonal of 3466 mm. The S4Xe 40 takes sheets up to 4064 x 1650 mm with a maximum diagonal of 4386 mm. Speeds, accelerations and thickness limits are listed once and apply to both.
02
Up to 5.0 mm in aluminum (UTS 265 N/mm2), 3.5 mm in steel (UTS 410 N/mm2) and 2.0 mm in stainless (UTS 610 N/mm2). The limits are identical for punching and for shearing, and the minimum material thickness is 0.5 mm.
03
Maximum speed is 132 m/min on the X axis and 96 m/min on the Y axis, or 163 m/min with both axes moving simultaneously. Maximum acceleration is 30 m/s2 on X and 15 m/s2 on Y.
04
The minimum sheet dimensions are 370 x 300 mm, and the minimum material thickness is 0.5 mm. Anything smaller or thinner than that is outside the listed range for both sizes of the machine.
05
With its shear. The shearing row describes simultaneous or independent X- and Y-axis cutting, and the punching row lists an operating head. Shearing shares the punching thickness limits, for example 3.5 mm in steel (UTS 410 N/mm2).
