How much does the LVD PPEB 135/42 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 135/42 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 3,820 mm (150.4 in) between its uprights, the LVD PPEB 135/42 is LVD's wide-frame PPEB at 1,350 kN. Working length is 4,270 mm (168.1 in) and weight 12,000 kg (26,455 lb).
A detail in LVD's tables deserves a question to the maker. This column lists a working speed of 12 mm/s. The PPEB 135/40, the same machine with a narrower frame, is listed at 15 mm/s in the neighbouring table. Both have a 15 kW motor, a 250 L tank and 290 bar, so the reason is not apparent; if cycle time matters, ask which figure applies. Approach and return are 130 mm/s and 115 mm/s.
The case for the model is geometric. Closed and deep parts have to pass between the side frames, and this frame takes them up to 3,820 mm long, which the PPEB 135/40, with 3,150 mm, does not. Think of shallow tanks, long drawers and four-sided covers in sheet.
Stroke is 200 mm (7.9 in) under 400 mm (15.7 in) of open height, with a 400 mm gap. The table is 120 mm (4.7 in) wide at 2,000 kN/m.
LVD's statement that the frame can be installed at floor level covers PPEB machines up to 400 ton/4m; this bed is slightly longer, so confirm it for this model. Tandem configurations are on LVD's option list for anyone who later needs to bend beyond a single bed.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
LVD's page does not say. This column shows 12 mm/s and the PPEB 135/40 shows 15 mm/s, in two different tables, with the same motor, tank and pressure. It may be a difference between the tables; confirm with LVD.
02
Parts up to 3,820 mm (150.4 in) long. Longer parts, up to the 4,270 mm (168.1 in) working length, reach into the side frames, where the gap is 400 mm (15.7 in).
03
LVD lists it as a PPEB option without description on the page. In general it means two press brakes set in line and run together for parts longer than one bed.
04
Yes. The Easy-Form 135/42 has the same bed, frame opening and weight, with a 22 kW motor, a 22 mm/s working speed and laser angle measurement as standard.
