Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEC 250/40 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 PPEC 250/40 carries 2,500 kN across a 4,000 mm (157.5 in) working length. It belongs to the non mono frame group of LVD's PPEC series, which the maker sells only in non-CE markets.
For a four-metre buyer the decision sits between this machine and the PPEC 220/40, and it is a real choice. The PPEC 220/40 is the quick one, approaching at 200 mm/s and working at 14 mm/s. This one approaches at 100 mm/s, works at 9 mm/s and returns at 110 mm/s. What it offers instead is structure: a table 250 mm (9.8 in) wide where the PPEC 220/40 has 180 mm, a 280 mm (11.0 in) stroke and 520 mm (20.5 in) of open height.
So the lighter machine is for sheet in quantity and this one for plate in small numbers. Wide V-dies for thick material need the table. Deep channels need the stroke and daylight.
A 22 kW servo motor drives the hydraulics from a 700 L tank. The frame has 3,150 mm (124.0 in) between the uprights and a 400 mm (15.7 in) throat.
Outline dimensions are 4,300 mm (169.3 in) in length, 2,000 mm (78.7 in) in width and 3,500 mm (137.8 in) in height, so the building needs more headroom than for the lighter four-metre models. The PPEC-5 axes, Y1-Y2-X-V-R, apply, and front sheet supports are standard.
