Overview
The LVD PPEB 4100-200 is a large-format hydraulic CNC press brake combining 4,100 mm of working length with 2,000 kN (200 tonnes) of bending force. Part of LVD's established PPEB (Precision Press Brake) series, this machine is engineered for fabricators who need to process wide sheet metal panels with consistent angular accuracy. The PPEB line is one of LVD's core product families, developed and refined over decades at the company's Belgian manufacturing facility and widely deployed in automotive supply, HVAC, construction, and industrial equipment sectors.
LVD equips the PPEB 4100-200 with their proprietary TOUCH-B CNC control, which provides a touchscreen interface, 2D graphical bend simulation, and automatic bend sequence optimisation. The control integrates directly with LVD's CADMAN-B offline programming software, enabling complete job preparation off the machine floor and seamless program transfer. Tooling setup, material database management, and springback compensation are handled within the same software environment, streamlining the workflow from design to bent part.
The machine's hydraulic system uses proportional valve technology on both cylinders, ensuring precise synchronisation of the upper beam across its full 4,100 mm travel. Active hydraulic crowning is included to counteract deflection when bending long panels, and LVD's Easy-Form Laser adaptive bending system can be optionally integrated for closed-loop angle measurement and correction in real time without stopping production.
Built to stringent Belgian quality standards, the PPEB 4100-200 features hardened and ground side frames, precision-machined gibs, and a robust welded steel body. The machine meets CE machinery directive requirements and is equipped with a comprehensive safety package including front laser guards, two-hand controls, and a safety-rated PLC. Its combination of working length, tonnage, and sophisticated control capability makes it a competitive option in the large-format press brake segment.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 4,100 mm working length with 200-tonne force for large panel fabrication
- TOUCH-B control integrates with CADMAN-B offline programming software
- Optional Easy-Form Laser adaptive bending for real-time angle correction
- Active hydraulic crowning for consistent angles across full bed length
Limitations
- Optional adaptive bending system adds significant cost to base machine price
- Large footprint and weight require dedicated floor space and installation planning
- CADMAN-B software is proprietary, creating vendor lock-in for programming workflows

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Easy-Form Laser is LVD's proprietary adaptive bending system that uses a laser sensor to measure the actual bend angle in real time as the punch descends. The control compares the measured angle to the programmed target and automatically adjusts the stroke depth to compensate for springback, achieving the correct angle on the first bend without trial pieces.
02
Yes. LVD designs the PPEB series with automation integration in mind. The machine can be paired with LVD's own robotic bending cells or third-party handling systems. The TOUCH-B control supports communication protocols for cell controller integration, and LVD offers complete turnkey automation solutions through their engineering team.
03
The PPEB series is LVD's standard hydraulic press brake line, while the Easy-Form series centres on the integrated adaptive bending sensor as a primary feature. The PPEB 4100-200 can be ordered with the Easy-Form Laser option, effectively bridging the two lines. The PPEB generally offers more working length and tonnage options, while Easy-Form machines are optimised specifically around closed-loop angle control.
