How much does the LVD PPEC 400/40 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the LVD PPEC 400/40 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 400/40 is a 4,000 kN press brake with a 4,000 mm (157.5 in) working length, part of the heavy PPEC range that LVD supplies outside CE markets only.
At this force the series moves to a 300 mm (11.8 in) stroke and 570 mm (22.4 in) of open height, the same pair of figures LVD uses on its heavy machines for CE markets. The PPEB 400/40 has them too. The table here is wider, 250 mm (9.8 in) against the 200 mm of the PPEB 400/40.
The two machines differ in the drive. LVD lists a 37 kW motor and 500 L of oil for the PPEB 400/40, with an 11 mm/s working speed and a 120 mm/s return. The PPEC runs a 30 kW servo motor on an 800 L tank, works at 9 mm/s and returns at 90 mm/s. Approach is 100 mm/s on both.
Clear width between the uprights is 3,150 mm (124.0 in), and the throat is 400 mm (15.7 in).
This is a tall machine. LVD gives a height of 3,910 mm (153.9 in), with a length of 4,800 mm (189.0 in) and a width of 2,250 mm (88.6 in). The heading describes the frame as non mono. For a machine of this size that probably bears on how it travels and is erected, and it should be one of the first questions to the maker.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The PPEB 400/40 has a 37 kW motor, 500 L of oil, an 11 mm/s working speed, a 120 mm/s return and a 200 mm table. The PPEC has 30 kW, 800 L, 9 mm/s, 90 mm/s and a 250 mm table. Stroke and open height are the same.
02
3,910 mm (153.9 in). It is 4,800 mm (189.0 in) long and 2,250 mm (88.6 in) wide. Allow extra height for lifting tools and for maintenance.
03
Yes. The PPEC 400/60 has a 6,000 mm working length and 5,050 mm between the uprights, with the same force, stroke, opening and speeds.
04
Approach 100 mm/s, working 9 mm/s, return 90 mm/s. LVD describes the servo-controlled hydraulic system as programmable and energy-efficient.
