Syntax 12 HS
Syntax 16 HS VERSATILITY AND INNOVATION
The SYNTAX 12-16 HS is the sum of all best technology solutions
developed in the field of coil processing, straightening and shaping.
In this machine it is reached the maximum level of flexibility, productivity
and product quality.

THE EFFICIENCY THAT REDUCES THE COSTS

The high productivity is guaranteed in any condition, regardless if there is a
requirement for serial production or processing of individual building elements
such as beams and columns. The SYNTAX HS Series can offer an outstanding
flexibility of application, and the capability of processing double wire up to
12 mm in all versions, and single wire 16 mm with the SYNTAX 16 HS. The
large production capacity, as well as the adaptability in different production
configurations, makes the SYNTAX 12-16 HS capable to reduce the number of
required equipment, as well as in the number of machinery operators, therefore
reducing drastically the production cost per unit of weight.

A DOUBLE TRACTION FOR ANY SHAPE

The Secondary feeding unit lets you use a patented
method that allow to produce shapes bent on both
sides using one bending unit instead of two.

The working cycle is considerably simplified and sped

Exclusive automatism
for unparalleled productivity

The productivity reached from SYNTAX 12-16 HS is the

result of an unprecedented concept of full automation
at maximum speed of all processes that normally require
the intervention of the machine operator.

All manual handlings as well as control operations

which can slow down the production and be potentially
detrimental for the unit efficiency are completely
assigned to the control of the machinery.
In this way the SYNTAX HS Series operates in a full
automated non-stop working cycle.
