Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD Easy-Form 320/51 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 320/51 puts 3,200 kN on a 5,100 mm (200.8 in) working length and weighs 29,000 kg (63,933 lb). It is the series' five-metre machine for plate.
One dimension differs from what the lighter five-metre models would suggest. The distance between uprights is 4,270 mm (168.1 in), whereas the Easy-Form 220/51 has 4,550 mm on the same bed. The heavier frame takes some of the opening, and a buyer with a part between those two lengths should check which machine it fits.
The bed also rises a little, to a working height of 1,035 mm (40.7 in). Open height is 570 mm (22.4 in), stroke 300 mm (11.8 in) and the table 200 mm (7.9 in) wide at 2,500 kN/m.
Speed follows the 3,200 kN group: 120 mm/s down, 14 mm/s in the bend, 130 mm/s up, from a 37 kW motor with 400 L of oil. On a plate machine the bending phase is a small share of the cycle next to handling, and a crane or sheet followers will influence output more than the ram does.
Beside the Easy-Form 220/51 the gain in force is nearly half again, and with it the ability to bend medium plate at full length instead of only sheet. The standard laser system then measures every one of those long, expensive bends as it forms.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
4,270 mm (168.1 in). That is narrower than on the Easy-Form 220/51, which has 4,550 mm for the same working length. Longer parts use the 400 mm (15.7 in) gap.
02
The Easy-Form 220/51 has 2,200 kN, a 200 mm stroke and 400 mm of open height at 21,200 kg, and works at 21 mm/s. This machine has 3,200 kN, a 300 mm stroke and 570 mm at 29,000 kg, and works at 14 mm/s.
03
Mostly handling. The ram works at 14 mm/s and returns at 130 mm/s, but a five-metre plate blank has to be lifted, positioned and turned. LVD's optional sheet followers and front supports address that part of the cycle.
04
Yes, the Easy-Form 320/61, with a 6,100 mm working length, 5,050 mm between uprights and a weight of 36,000 kg.
