Palazzani hosts engineering experience

At the end of October Palazzani Industrie welcomed a group of engineering students from the University of Brescia.

The 5th-year students were enrolled on a Design of Operating Machines course and the object of the visit was to provide them with a direct and in-depth experience in the world of design and manufacturing of relevant equipment.

Paola Palazzani, President of Palazzani Industrie, greeted the students and highlighted how the company carries out continuous technological innovation and safety and sustainability.

Production tour

Francesco Zola, CEO of Palazzani Industrie, then led the students on a comprehensive tour of the company’s production cycle. The future engineers had the opportunity to closely observe the organization and efficiency of the industrial processes in place, from warehouse and raw material management to assembly phases and final testing.

Zola explained how each step is carefully monitored to ensure the highest quality standards, and how the company chooses a specialized team and up-to-date technologies to meet top production requirements.

Technical team

A key part of the visit was a meeting with Palazzani’s technical team, which included Davide Maino, the company’s CTE, alongside engineers Alessandro Scioscioli and Eros Salvadori. The team showed the key stages in the design of a spider lift, explaining in detail the core aspects that drive the development of Palazzani’s machines.

Particular emphasis was placed on safety and risk assessment, crucial elements for ensuring product reliability and compliance with international standards. The session also covered the technical challenges and innovative solutions Palazzani has implemented to optimize the performance of its products, even in challenging operational conditions.

Spider demonstration 

At the end of the visit, the students had the opportunity to attend a live demonstration of the XTJ 52+ Bi-energy spider lift - the top model of the Palazzani range. The demonstration highlighted its intuitive human-machine interface, the  extension and outreach of the boom, and the design and advanced sensors that ensure operator safety.

The compsny added, “For the engineering students, it was a valuable educational day, where they had the chance to engage with industry experts and learn important technical and practical aspects for their studies.

“For Palazzani Industrie, the event represented a great opportunity to get in contact with the academic world and invest in the education of future engineers, who will contribute to developing and improving increasingly advanced technologies in the operating machines sector.”
