Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD Easy-Form 170/42 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
For wide work at medium force LVD offers the Easy-Form 170/42. The LVD Easy-Form 170/42 has 1,700 kN, a 4,270 mm (168.1 in) working length and 3,820 mm (150.4 in) between the uprights, at a weight of 15,000 kg (33,069 lb).
The frame opening is the selling point of every 42 model, and it matters more as force goes up. Stronger machines are bought for deeper, stiffer parts: boxes, hoppers, cabinet shells. Those are the parts that will not fit in a side-frame gap and must pass between the uprights. Here they can be up to 3,820 mm long. On the Easy-Form 170/40 the limit is 3,150 mm.
There is a cost in mass. The Easy-Form 170/40 weighs 13,500 kg, so the wider frame and slightly longer bed add a good deal of steel.
Hydraulics are those of the 1,700 kN group: 37 kW, 425 L, 285 bar. Speeds are 180 mm/s approach, 22 mm/s working, 200 mm/s return. Stroke is 200 mm (7.9 in) and open height 400 mm (15.7 in); for deep boxes, the taller stroke and daylight combinations LVD offers in 100 mm steps deserve a look, since a box must also clear the punch on the way out.
Angle control is by the series' laser system, which measures during the bend and corrects the punch in real time.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Clear width. The Easy-Form 170/40 has 3,150 mm between uprights and a 4,000 mm bed at 13,500 kg. This model has 3,820 mm (150.4 in) between uprights and a 4,270 mm bed at 15,000 kg. Force, motor and speeds do not change.
02
The frame opening suits them. The listed stroke of 200 mm (7.9 in) and open height of 400 mm (15.7 in) limit the box depth, but LVD offers increased stroke, table-ram distance and gap in 100 mm steps as an option.
03
One: the Easy-Form 170/51, with a 5,100 mm working length, 4,550 mm between uprights and a weight of 19,500 kg.
