Machine Comparison
Bystronic Xpress 160 vs LVD Dyna-Press Plus
Bystronic vs LVD · CNC Press Brakes
Summary
The Bystronic Xpress 160 and the LVD Dyna-Press Plus are both CNC press brakes, but they are built for different parts. The Bystronic Xpress 160 is a full-length machine for long bends. The LVD Dyna-Press Plus is a compact, short-bed press brake for small parts and volume runs of small bends.
The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair: the only shared row is the control. The Bystronic Xpress 160 runs BySoft Cell Control Bend, and the LVD Dyna-Press Plus runs a Touch-B touchscreen. This table does not carry tonnage, bed length or speed for both machines, so it names no winner on numbers.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Bystronic Xpress 160 | LVD Dyna-Press Plus |
|---|---|---|
| Control | BySoft Cell Control Bend | Touch-B touchscreen |
Advantages
Bystronic Xpress 160
- Takes long parts that a short-bed press brake cannot
- A far higher bending force class for longer and heavier bends
- Suited to short-flange work where high ram speed carries the cycle
LVD Dyna-Press Plus
- Compact short-bed format for small parts
- Fast approach speed for volume runs of small bends
- Ram repeatability aimed at tight-tolerance small parts
- Touch-B touchscreen control
Verdict
Buy by part size. A shop bending long parts needs the bed length and force of the Bystronic Xpress 160; the LVD Dyna-Press Plus cannot take those parts. A shop with steady volumes of small parts, where a full-length machine would be tied up on short bends, is better served by the LVD Dyna-Press Plus. The two machines complement each other more than they compete.
