Europe, having led the way in adopting Industry 4.0 and now transitioning to Industry 5.0, is at the forefront of technological advancements. Among these, the sheet metal processing industry stands out due to its high number of installations.
In the future, many products will be manufactured using this material, minimizing investment costs for molds. This is due to the reduced number of pieces produced, frequent updates to final products, and the possibility of varied serial production to meet customization demands.
These factors led to the development of the new L3.G4 fiber laser machine, a cutting-edge technological solution from the Salvagnini Group. MM Design was entrusted with its design and material selection. Designed to enhance ergonomics and ease of use while ensuring maximum precision and repeatability in processing, the L3.G4 eliminates low-value-added operations and optimizes energy consumption.
In designing the L3.G4, MM Design's designers, in collaboration with Salvagnini's engineering team, prioritized improving machine accessibility. A large front opening with dual sliding doors facilitates easy inspection, while large observation windows, positioned at an ergonomic height and protected by horizontal polycarbonate safety bands, allow operators to monitor the laser sheet metal processing safely and efficiently.
The interface area is mounted on an adjustable support, enhancing the user experience both when the machine is in operation and during material loading. The electrical panel and laser source are housed in a dedicated, easily accessible compartment on the side of the machine.
The overall design of the L3.G4 is highly compact, visually reducing the machine’s substantial dimensions. Additionally, it has been engineered to fit within a standard shipping container without requiring disassembly.
The choice of materials, shapes, colors, and graphics aligns with Salvagnini’s “Diamond Bend” Corporate Design, a project initiated by MM Design in collaboration with Salvagnini’s Marketing Department. This partnership between industry and design has resulted in the development of multiple machines and solutions.
