Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD Easy-Form 400/45 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 400/45 is the four-and-a-half-metre member of LVD's 4,000 kN adaptive press brakes. Working length is 4,500 mm (177.2 in) and weight 32,000 kg (70,547 lb).
A note on the frame before anything else. LVD's tables do not agree on the distance between uprights for this size, so the dimension needs confirming. On the Easy-Form 320/45, a lighter machine with an identical bed, it is 3,820 mm. A buyer with a wide part should get the dimension for this model in writing.
The rest of the specification is consistent across the 4,000 kN group. Stroke is 300 mm (11.8 in), open height 570 mm (22.4 in), gap 400 mm (15.7 in). The table is 200 mm (7.9 in) wide at 2,500 kN/m and stands at a working height of 970 mm (38.2 in). A 37 kW motor and 500 L of oil at 290 bar move the ram at 100 mm/s on approach, 11 mm/s under load and 120 mm/s on return.
Why this length? Plate comes in widths that four metres does not always cover once the part has run-out at both ends, and 4,500 mm gives margin without the mass of a five-metre frame. The Easy-Form 400/51 weighs 34,000 kg.
Adaptive bending is standard. So are the turbo hydraulic drive, the barcode reader for calling up jobs, a second foot pedal, which on a long bed saves walking, and LED lighting of the work zone.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
LVD's published tables give conflicting values for this size, so it should be requested from the maker. The Easy-Form 320/45 has 3,820 mm and the Easy-Form 500/45 has 3,760 mm on the same working length.
02
The Easy-Form 400/40 has a 4,000 mm working length and weighs 30,500 kg. This model has 4,500 mm (177.2 in) and weighs 32,000 kg. Force, speeds, motor, oil volume, stroke and opening are the same.
03
LVD lists the Easy-Form Laser system, turbo hydraulic drive, knuckle arm, LED work zone lighting, second foot pedal, barcode reader and electrical cabinet air conditioner. CNC crowning and the 19-inch Touch-B control are also described for the series.
04
11 mm/s, with a 100 mm/s approach and a 120 mm/s return. In CE countries the working speed is limited to safety norms, as LVD notes under its tables.
