How much does the LVD Easy-Form 400/51 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD Easy-Form 400/51 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
With the LVD Easy-Form 400/51, LVD takes 4,000 kN to a 5,100 mm (200.8 in) working length. The machine weighs 34,000 kg (74,956 lb) and clears 4,270 mm (168.1 in) between its uprights.
It shares that frame opening with the Easy-Form 320/51, and the comparison between the two is instructive. The Easy-Form 320/51 weighs 29,000 kg and stands with its bed at 1,035 mm. This one is heavier, as expected, yet its working height is 970 mm (38.2 in). LVD evidently builds the 4,000 kN group on a different structure, and the operator benefits from the lower table.
The ram runs at 100 mm/s on approach, 11 mm/s in the bend and 120 mm/s on return. Against the Easy-Form 320/51, with 14 mm/s and 130 mm/s, that is a small sacrifice for a quarter more force.
Five-metre plate parts are rarely simple. Boom sections have several bends at shallow angles, each of which must be right for the box to close on the weld line. A system that measures each angle as it forms is of direct use there, and LVD's crowning, cut for the individual machine, keeps the angle the same from end to end.
Stroke 300 mm (11.8 in), open height 570 mm (22.4 in), table 200 mm (7.9 in) at 2,500 kN/m. Motor 37 kW; oil 500 L at 290 bar.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Easy-Form 320/51 has 3,200 kN, weighs 29,000 kg, works at 14 mm/s and has a 1,035 mm working height. This machine has 4,000 kN, weighs 34,000 kg, works at 11 mm/s and has a 970 mm working height. Both clear 4,270 mm between uprights.
02
A closed section is made from several bends whose errors add up. LVD's scanners measure the angle of each bend while it is formed and the control corrects the punch position, so each bend is right before the next begins.
03
34,000 kg (74,956 lb), with 500 L of oil on board. The Easy-Form 400/45 is listed at 32,000 kg and the Easy-Form 400/61 at 37,000 kg.
04
570 mm (22.4 in) from table to ram, with a 300 mm (11.8 in) stroke. LVD offers further increases in 100 mm steps as an option, together with a deeper gap.
