Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD Easy-Form 170/40 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
The LVD Easy-Form 170/40 is a 1,700 kN press brake with a 4,000 mm (157.5 in) working length, and for many fabricators it is the natural all-round size of the series: long enough for most sheet, strong enough for medium plate on shorter parts.
Moving here from the lighter four-metre models is a step in installation, not just in force. The Easy-Form 135/40 runs a 22 kW motor and weighs 11,000 kg. This machine has a 37 kW motor and a 425 L tank at 285 bar, and weighs 13,500 kg (29,762 lb). The foundation and the supply need to be planned for it.
In return the speed holds. Approach is 180 mm/s, working speed 22 mm/s and return 200 mm/s. A buyer comparing it with the Easy-Form 220/40 should weigh that: the stronger machine approaches at 120 mm/s.
The uprights are 3,150 mm (124.0 in) apart and the gap is 400 mm (15.7 in), so a full-length part has that much flange depth at each end. Working height is 970 mm (38.2 in) and the table 120 mm (4.7 in) wide.
LVD equips every Easy-Form with its laser angle system, a custom-made crowning system and linear encoders mounted so that frame deflection does not enter the ram measurement. The backgauge can be anything from two axes to a full multi-axis unit.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,700 kN over 4,000 mm (157.5 in) with a 22 mm/s working speed
- Approaches at 180 mm/s, where the Easy-Form 220/40 lists 120 mm/s
- Crowning engineered and machined for the individual machine
- Linear encoders isolated from frame deflection
- Multi-axis backgauge options for non-parallel flanges
Limitations
- 13,500 kg (29,762 lb), against 11,000 kg for the Easy-Form 135/40
- Needs a 37 kW supply and 425 L of oil
- 3,150 mm (124.0 in) between uprights for a four-metre bed
- Hydraulic clamping, sheet followers and front supports are options

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Easy-Form 220/40 has 2,200 kN and weighs 15,300 kg but approaches at 120 mm/s and works at 21 mm/s. This model has 1,700 kN and 13,500 kg with 180 mm/s and 22 mm/s. Both use a 37 kW motor.
02
LVD describes a range that starts at a basic two-axis backgauge and goes up to a full multi-axis system for parallel and non-parallel flanges. An additional gauging finger appears among the options.
03
The table lists a 37 kW motor, a 425 L oil tank and a machine weight of 13,500 kg (29,762 lb). LVD publishes no overall dimensions on the page, so the footprint has to come from the installation drawing.
04
Quick-acting hydraulic clamping on ram and table is an option, which LVD recommends for faster set-ups. The page does not describe the standard clamping in detail.
