How much does the LVD PPEB 640/61 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEB 640/61 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 640/61 puts 6,400 kN on a 6,100 mm (240.2 in) working length. At 57,000 kg (125,661 lb) it is the second-largest machine in the PPEB table.
It is the natural format for the heaviest long work a single standard press brake takes on. Spread over the bed, 6,400 kN stays within the table rating of 2,500 kN/m only on bends of some length, and at six metres there is room for them. Heavy-wall masts, deep hull plates and crane boom shells are bent this way.
The frame clears 5,050 mm (198.8 in) between the uprights. Stroke is 300 mm (11.8 in) under 570 mm (22.4 in) of open height, and the table is 200 mm (7.9 in) wide at a working height of 970 mm (38.2 in).
A 55 kW motor and 850 L of oil at 290 bar drive the ram at 90 mm/s on approach, 9 mm/s in the bend and 100 mm/s on return. The next machine down at this length, the PPEB 500/61, has a 37 kW motor and returns at 80 mm/s.
No PPEB of this size falls under LVD's floor-level installation statement. A project like this starts with the foundation drawing and the crane plan. On the bending side, the PPEB's servo-hydraulic system positions the piston at each end of the ram to the programmed value, and wedge crowning, standard on PPEB-5 and PPEB-8, corrects the deflection that a six-metre bed under this load will show.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The PPEB 500/61 has a 37 kW motor, 650 L of oil and an 80 mm/s return, and weighs 49,420 kg. This model has 6,400 kN, a 55 kW motor, 850 L and a 100 mm/s return, and weighs 57,000 kg.
02
The table rating of 2,500 kN/m. The machine's 6,400 kN can only be used in full on a bend long enough to keep the load per metre within that figure.
03
LVD's floor-level statement covers PPEB machines up to 400 ton/4m only. For this model the foundation must be designed from LVD's drawings for a machine of 57,000 kg (125,661 lb).
04
Yes, one: the PPEB 640/81, with an 8,100 mm working length, 7,050 mm between the uprights and a weight of 71,550 kg.
