How much does the LVD PPEB 500/45 cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 500/45 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.

LVD PPEB 500/45 — price

Price estimate: uncertain

We have no price for the LVD PPEB 500/45 that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so this page shows no number rather than a guess. A quote from LVD or an authorised dealer is the reliable figure.

What moves the final price

  • Spindle, control and probing options
  • Tool changer capacity and tooling package
  • Automation — pallet changers, bar feeders, robot cells
  • Freight, rigging, installation and training
  • Region, dealer and time of year

Overview

With 5,000 kN, a 4,500 mm (177.2 in) working length and 3,760 mm (148.0 in) between the uprights, the LVD PPEB 500/45 is the mid-sized machine of LVD's 5,000 kN PPEB group. It weighs 42,200 kg (93,034 lb).

The clear width is the figure to study. It is far more than the 3,150 mm of the PPEB 500/40, and a little less than the 3,820 mm of the PPEB 400/45, because the side frames grow with the force. For thick plate parts, which must pass between the frames, each of those steps decides what can be made.

Mass tells the same story about force. The PPEB 400/45 does this length at 32,000 kg.

Ram and hydraulics are common to the 5,000 kN machines. Approach is 100 mm/s, working speed 9 mm/s and return 80 mm/s. The motor is 37 kW, the oil volume 650 L and the 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 the bed stands at 970 mm (38.2 in).

Because a machine like this is bought for a known product, the PPEB's configurable build is an advantage. A hopper maker and a builder of armoured vehicles would each strip the option list down to a few lines, and they would be different lines.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • 5,000 kN with 3,760 mm (148.0 in) of clear width
  • 4,500 mm (177.2 in) working length
  • Much wider opening than the 3,150 mm of the PPEB 500/40
  • 570 mm (22.4 in) opening over a 200 mm (7.9 in), 2,500 kN/m table
  • Options trimmed to a single product

Limitations

  • 42,200 kg (93,034 lb), against 32,000 kg for the PPEB 400/45
  • 9 mm/s working speed and 80 mm/s return
  • Slightly less clear width than the PPEB 400/45
  • 650 L of oil in the hydraulic system

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What clear width does the PPEB 500/45 offer?

3,760 mm (148.0 in) between the uprights, with a 400 mm (15.7 in) gap. The PPEB 500/40 has 3,150 mm and the PPEB 400/45 has 3,820 mm.

02 How much mass does the extra force add?

This machine weighs 42,200 kg (93,034 lb). The PPEB 400/45, with 4,000 kN on the same working length, weighs 32,000 kg.

03 What speeds should I plan with?

100 mm/s approach, 9 mm/s working and 80 mm/s return. In CE countries the working speed is limited to safety norms, as noted under LVD's tables.

04 Is the table the same as on lighter models?

Yes: 200 mm (7.9 in) wide and rated at 2,500 kN/m, the same as from the PPEB 320/30 upward. At 5,000 kN the rating limits how short a full-force bend can be.
