How much does the LVD PPEB 110/40 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 110/40 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
Long, light and simple to install: the LVD PPEB 110/40 covers 4,000 mm (157.5 in) with 1,100 kN and weighs 11,000 kg (24,250 lb).
Four metres at this force is thin-sheet territory. The machine suits long panels, covers and trays whose difficulty lies in handling and gauging more than in tonnage. That shifts attention from the ram to the equipment around it, which on a PPEB is the buyer's to choose.
Start with the backgauge. Long parts are often gauged at two points far apart, and a tapered blank needs the fingers at different depths. LVD's range goes from two axes (X-R) through five to six, the last adding the X’ axis for exactly that. Then support: front supports on guide rails and programmable sheet followers stop a four-metre sheet from sagging and whipping. And crowning, standard on PPEB-5 and PPEB-8, keeps the middle of the bend from opening.
The drive is modest. A 15 kW motor at 245 bar gives 130 mm/s approach, 12 mm/s working speed and 115 mm/s return, with a 250 L tank.
Clear width between the uprights is 3,150 mm (124.0 in), the gap 400 mm (15.7 in), the stroke 200 mm (7.9 in) and the open height 400 mm. The 120 mm (4.7 in) table is rated at 2,000 kN/m.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
LVD offers 2-, 5- or 6-axis backgauges, from X-R to X-R-Z1-Z2-X’. Z1 and Z2 place the fingers along the bed, and X’ lets one finger sit deeper than the other for tapered parts.
02
1,100 kN at 245 bar. The PPEB 135/40 has the same bed, weight and 15 kW motor with 1,350 kN at 290 bar and a 15 mm/s working speed.
03
130 mm/s approach, 12 mm/s working and 115 mm/s return. A turbo press drive is offered as an option for higher bending speed.
04
A one-piece welded frame. LVD states that PPEB machines up to 400 ton/4m can be installed at floor level, so no pit is required for this size.
