How much does the LVD PPEB 640/45 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 640/45 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.
Overview
The LVD PPEB 640/45 is the shortest of LVD's 6,400 kN PPEB press brakes, with a 4,500 mm (177.2 in) working length. It has a 55 kW motor and weighs 49,300 kg (108,686 lb).
The larger motor is the first thing that distinguishes the 6,400 kN group. With it the ram returns at 100 mm/s, quicker than the 80 mm/s of the PPEB 500/45, which has 37 kW. Approach is 90 mm/s and working speed 9 mm/s. Oil volume is 850 L at 290 bar.
Here the PPEB table is clearer than the Easy-Form one, and gives the table data in full. The table is 200 mm (7.9 in) wide and rated at 2,500 kN/m, and the working height is 970 mm (38.2 in). Stroke is 300 mm (11.8 in) and open height 570 mm (22.4 in).
That table rating deserves a moment. It is the same 2,500 kN/m found on machines of half the force. Spread evenly, 6,400 kN needs a bend longer than two and a half metres to stay inside it. This is therefore a machine for long heavy bends, and its 3,760 mm (148.0 in) between the uprights suits that.
At this size everything around the machine is part of the purchase: foundation, crane, tooling and handling. LVD's page lists the bending-side options, hydraulic clamping and sheet followers among them.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 6,400 kN on a 4,500 mm (177.2 in) bed
- 55 kW motor with a 100 mm/s return
- 3,760 mm (148.0 in) between the uprights
- Table data stated in full: 200 mm (7.9 in), 2,500 kN/m, bed at 970 mm (38.2 in)
- 570 mm (22.4 in) opening and 300 mm (11.8 in) stroke
Limitations
- Table rating of 2,500 kN/m rules out short full-force bends
- 49,300 kg (108,686 lb) and 850 L of oil
- 9 mm/s working speed after a 90 mm/s approach
- Needs a 55 kW supply and a planned foundation

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The PPEB 500/45 has 5,000 kN, a 37 kW motor, 650 L of oil and an 80 mm/s return at 42,200 kg. This model has 6,400 kN, 55 kW, 850 L and a 100 mm/s return at 49,300 kg.
02
2,500 kN/m on a 200 mm (7.9 in) wide table. With 6,400 kN available, a bend must be long enough to keep the load per metre within that rating.
03
90 mm/s on approach, 9 mm/s in the bend and 100 mm/s on return, with the usual CE limits on working speed noted by LVD.
04
Yes: the PPEB 640/61 with a 6,100 mm working length and the PPEB 640/81 with 8,100 mm. Both use the same 55 kW motor and 850 L of oil.
