How much does the LVD Easy-Form 400/40 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD Easy-Form 400/40 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
Four thousand kilonewtons on four metres. The LVD Easy-Form 400/40 has a 4,000 mm (157.5 in) working length and weighs 30,500 kg (67,240 lb), about a third more than the Easy-Form 320/40.
The figures show a heavier class of machine, not a stretched one. The Easy-Form 320/40 weighs 23,000 kg and holds 400 L of oil. Here the tank is 500 L and the pressure 290 bar. Speeds come down a step: 100 mm/s approach, 11 mm/s in the bend and 120 mm/s on return. The motor remains a 37 kW unit.
One number moves the other way. Working height is 970 mm (38.2 in), lower than the 1,000 mm of the Easy-Form 320/40, which is welcome on a machine that is loaded with heavy blanks.
Opening and stroke are 570 mm (22.4 in) and 300 mm (11.8 in). The table is 200 mm (7.9 in) wide and rated at 2,500 kN/m. Between the uprights there are 3,150 mm (124.0 in), with a 400 mm (15.7 in) gap.
At this force the material is thick plate or high-strength steel, and both spring back by amounts that are hard to predict from a chart. LVD's laser system measures the angle while the ram is still in the bend and corrects the punch position, so the correction is made on the part itself. In plate, where each blank represents real money, that is the feature that defines the series.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
LVD lists 30,500 kg (67,240 lb) for this machine and 23,000 kg for the Easy-Form 320/40. Bed length, frame opening, stroke, open height and table are the same; force, oil volume and mass are higher.
02
100 mm/s approach, 11 mm/s working speed and 120 mm/s return. The Easy-Form 320/40 is quicker at 120, 14 and 130 mm/s, and the Easy-Form 500/40 slower at 100, 9 and 80 mm/s.
03
A 37 kW motor, a 500 L oil tank and a working pressure of 290 bar. LVD machines the cylinders from solid steel billet and uses hardened, precision-ground forged pistons.
04
