Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD Easy-Form 500/51 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
LVD lists the Easy-Form 500/51 at 43,820 kg (96,605 lb). The LVD Easy-Form 500/51 is a 5,000 kN press brake with a 5,100 mm (200.8 in) working length, and it sits surprisingly close in mass to the Easy-Form 500/45, the 4,500 mm model of the same force.
Its frame opening explains part of that. Between the uprights there are 4,050 mm (159.4 in). The Easy-Form 400/51 has 4,270 mm on the same bed. The 5,000 kN machine therefore overhangs its frames by more than half a metre at each end, and full-length parts depend on the 400 mm (15.7 in) gap.
This matters for planning. If the long parts are flat plates with a shallow bend or two, the gap is no obstacle. If they have deep returns along their whole length, measure them against 4,050 mm first.
Ram data: 100 mm/s approach, 9 mm/s working, 80 mm/s return. Motor 37 kW, oil 650 L, pressure 290 bar. Stroke is 300 mm (11.8 in) under 570 mm (22.4 in) of open height, the table is 200 mm (7.9 in) wide at 2,500 kN/m, and working height is 970 mm (38.2 in).
A five-metre bend at this force is where crowning does its heaviest work. LVD machines the system for each press brake so that ram and table stay parallel, and the laser scanners verify the angle that results.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 5,000 kN on a 5,100 mm (200.8 in) working length
- 43,820 kg (96,605 lb), little more than the Easy-Form 500/45
- Machine-specific crowning for five-metre heavy bends
- 570 mm (22.4 in) of open height
- Bed at a working height of 970 mm (38.2 in)
Limitations
- 4,050 mm (159.4 in) between uprights, less than the 4,270 mm of the Easy-Form 400/51
- 80 mm/s return and 9 mm/s working speed
- Full-length parts rely on the 400 mm (15.7 in) gap
- 650 L of oil in the hydraulic circuit

Frequently Asked Questions
01
4,050 mm (159.4 in) between uprights. The Easy-Form 400/51 has 4,270 mm and the Easy-Form 220/51 has 4,550 mm for the same 5,100 mm working length, so the opening narrows as force goes up.
02
It is listed at 43,820 kg (96,605 lb), and the Easy-Form 500/45 at 42,200 kg. The six-metre Easy-Form 500/61 is a larger step, at 49,420 kg.
03
The CNC crowning system. LVD says it is custom-made for each machine, engineered and machined for that press brake, so that ram and table remain parallel during bending.
04
Approach 100 mm/s, working 9 mm/s, return 80 mm/s. LVD's notes tie the approach figure in CE countries to an optional safety system and limit working speed there to safety norms.
