Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEC 320/40 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
Three LVD hydraulic press brakes are built for 3,200 kN on four metres, and the LVD PPEC 320/40 is the one a buyer in a CE country cannot have. LVD states that the PPEC is available only for non-CE markets. Its working length is 4,000 mm (157.5 in).
It sits between the other two in drive. The PPED 320/40 has a 22 kW motor and works at 8 mm/s. The PPEB 320/40 has a 37 kW motor and a bending speed of 14 mm/s. The PPEC has a 30 kW servo motor and works at 10 mm/s, approaching and returning at 100 mm/s.
In daylight it is the smallest of the three. Open height is 520 mm (20.5 in) with a 280 mm (11.0 in) stroke. The PPEB 320/40 has 570 mm and the PPED 320/40 has 670 mm. Its table, at 250 mm (9.8 in), matches the PPED 320/40 and is wider than the 200 mm of the PPEB 320/40.
The frame gives 3,150 mm (124.0 in) between the uprights and a 400 mm (15.7 in) throat. Tank volume is 700 L.
Outside, the machine measures 4,250 mm (167.3 in) by 2,150 mm (84.6 in) and stands 3,750 mm (147.6 in) high. It is a PPEC-5 with the axes Y1-Y2-X-V-R, built as what LVD's table calls a non mono frame.
