VERSATILITY AND INNOVATION
The MINI 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 MINI SYNTAX 12-16 HS 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. The large production
capacity, as well as the adaptability in different production configurations,
makes the MINI 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 MINI 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 MINI SYNTAX 12-16 HS operates in a
full automated non-stop working cycle.

THE FASTEST WIRE CHANGE

The exclusive pre-feeding unit (optional) changes automatically
the wire in a very short time. At the same time the straightening
system reconfigures itself based on the diameter or the

equipment is ready to restart the production in few seconds
without any manual operation.
