Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD Easy-Form 135/42 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
Among LVD's lighter adaptive press brakes the LVD Easy-Form 135/42 is the largest: 1,350 kN, a 4,270 mm (168.1 in) working length and 3,820 mm (150.4 in) of clear width between the uprights.
It is the last model before the hydraulics change. Up to this size the Easy-Form runs a 22 kW motor on a 250 L tank. The Easy-Form 170/42, on the same bed, needs 37 kW and 425 L and weighs 15,000 kg. This machine weighs 12,000 kg (26,455 lb). For a plant with a tight power budget or a suspended floor, that boundary can decide the purchase.
The wide frame is the other attraction. A panel up to 3,820 mm long goes between the uprights at any depth, which the four-metre Easy-Form 135/40, with 3,150 mm, cannot offer.
Ram figures: 180 mm/s approach, 22 mm/s working, 200 mm/s return. Stroke 200 mm (7.9 in), open height 400 mm (15.7 in), gap 400 mm, table 120 mm (4.7 in) wide at 2,000 kN/m. Working height is 970 mm (38.2 in).
Every bend is measured. Scanners read the angle as it forms and the control corrects the punch position at once, so variations in thickness, hardness and grain are absorbed without test pieces.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Largest Easy-Form on the 22 kW, 250 L hydraulic system
- 3,820 mm (150.4 in) between uprights
- 1,350 kN on a 4,270 mm (168.1 in) bed
- 12,000 kg (26,455 lb), against 15,000 kg for the Easy-Form 170/42
- In-process angle measurement on every bend
Limitations
- Force stops at 1,350 kN; more means the heavier Easy-Form 170/42
- Open height 400 mm (15.7 in) with a 200 mm (7.9 in) stroke as listed
- Table is 120 mm (4.7 in) wide
- Front supports are an extra

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Easy-Form 170/42 is listed at 15,000 kg with a 37 kW motor and a 425 L tank, on the same 4,270 mm bed. This machine is listed at 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) with 22 kW and 250 L.
02
180 mm/s approach, 22 mm/s working speed and 200 mm/s return. The working speed is limited by safety norms in CE countries, and the approach speed applies there only with an optional safety system, according to LVD's notes.
03
LVD's claim for the Easy-Form Laser system is that the machine reaches the correct angle by measuring during the bend and adjusting the punch position in real time, compensating for thickness, strain hardening and grain direction.
04
970 mm (38.2 in). The table is 120 mm (4.7 in) wide and the distance from table to ram is 400 mm (15.7 in) in the listed configuration.
