Schiavi Press Brakes & Bending Automation

Italian Press Brake Technology

Schiavi Macchine is a leading Italian manufacturer of high-performance press brakes and automated bending systems, internationally recognised for precision, reliability and advanced engineering.

Founded in 1958, Schiavi has built its reputation on continuous innovation, in-house research and a deep understanding of the bending process. Today, Schiavi press brakes are used worldwide across demanding sheet-metal applications where accuracy, repeatability and automation are critical to productivity.

As an official UK partner, Daltons supplies Schiavi press brakes and automation solutions, supported by expert specification, installation, training and long-term aftersales support.

Made in Italy since 1958

Schiavi Macchine represents the very best of Italian manufacturing excellence. From its modern facilities in northern Italy, the company designs, manufactures and tests all machines in-house — ensuring complete control over quality, performance and innovation.

With more than 14,000 machines installed worldwide, Schiavi has become a benchmark brand in press brake technology. Its ability to combine mechanical engineering, proprietary CNC software and automation within a single ecosystem gives customers a genuine competitive advantage in modern sheet-metal production.

Robotic bending cells

Schiavi designs and delivers fully integrated robotic bending cells that combine press brakes, robots and proprietary software into a single, unified system. Unlike solutions that rely on third-party integrators, Schiavi develops its machines, robotics and TASK software in-house, ensuring seamless communication, simplified operation and reliable long-term support. These robotic cells are designed for high productivity, repeatability and unattended operation, helping manufacturers reduce labour dependency, improve consistency and lower production costs.

Standalone press brake machines

Alongside automation, Schiavi offers a comprehensive range of standalone press brakes engineered for accuracy, reliability and flexibility in manual or semi-automated production. From the crowning-free LineAr series to the versatile HFB and BST ranges, Schiavi press brakes deliver consistent bending precision across simple and complex geometries. Designed and manufactured in Italy, these machines provide an ideal solution for subcontractors and manufacturers who require exceptional accuracy today, with the option to scale into automation in the future.

The evolution of bending technology

From traditional hydraulic press brakes to crowning-free systems and fully automated robotic cells, Schiavi continues to redefine what is possible in metal bending.

FAQs

Schiavi uses advanced, patented automatic and crowning-free compensation systems to eliminate table deflection during bending. On models such as the LineAr, the upper and lower tables are kept perfectly parallel along the full machine length, regardless of load. This ensures consistent punch penetration and a perfectly straight bend without the need for manual crowning adjustments, improving accuracy, repeatability and productivity.
