How much does the LVD PPEB 400/61 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 400/61 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 PPEB 400/61 has 4,000 kN on a 6,100 mm (240.2 in) working length. In LVD's table it weighs 37,000 kg (81,570 lb), barely more than the PPEB 320/61.
That comparison is the most useful thing a buyer can take from the page. The PPEB 320/61 weighs 36,000 kg and has its bed at 1,165 mm. This model has more force at nearly the same mass, with a working height of 970 mm (38.2 in). Unless the 14 mm/s working speed of the PPEB 320/61 is needed, the case for it is hard to see; here the ram works at 11 mm/s, approaches at 100 mm/s and returns at 120 mm/s.
Between the uprights there are 5,050 mm (198.8 in), and parts up to the full bed length use the 400 mm (15.7 in) gap. Open height is 570 mm (22.4 in) and stroke 300 mm (11.8 in). The table is 200 mm (7.9 in) wide, rated at 2,500 kN/m.
Power comes from a 37 kW motor with 500 L of oil at 290 bar.
At six metres, accuracy depends on two systems LVD describes for the PPEB. Linear encoders are mounted so that frame deformation does not reach the measurement of the ram. And the automatic crowning wedge, standard on PPEB-5 and PPEB-8, is machined for the bed and compensates along its full length.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 4,000 kN over 6,100 mm (240.2 in)
- 37,000 kg (81,570 lb), close to the PPEB 320/61 at 36,000 kg
- Bed at 970 mm (38.2 in) on a six-metre plate machine
- 5,050 mm (198.8 in) between the uprights
- Encoders isolated from frame deflection; wedge crowning
Limitations
- Working speed of 11 mm/s in the bend
- Foundation beyond LVD's 400 ton/4m floor-level statement
- 37 kW motor for a machine of this force and length
- Parts over 5,050 mm are limited to the 400 mm (15.7 in) gap

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The PPEB 320/61 has 3,200 kN, works at 14 mm/s, weighs 36,000 kg and has a 1,165 mm working height. This model has 4,000 kN, works at 11 mm/s, weighs 37,000 kg and has a 970 mm working height.
02
LVD connects the linear encoders so that deformation during bending does not affect ram positioning, and its wedge crowning system is machined for the individual bed. Crowning is standard on PPEB-5 and PPEB-8.
03
5,050 mm (198.8 in). The gap in each side frame is 400 mm (15.7 in), and the open height between table and ram is 570 mm (22.4 in).
04
Yes. The PPEB 640/61 has 6,400 kN with a 55 kW motor and weighs 57,000 kg. The PPEB 500/61 sits between them, on a 37 kW motor.
