How much does the LVD ToolCell 135/30 cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the LVD ToolCell 135/30 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 ToolCell 135/30 is the entry model of LVD's tool-changing press brake line: 1,350 kN of pressing force on a 3,050 mm (120.1 in) working length, with the punches and dies stored inside the machine and loaded by grippers in the backgauge fingers.

One figure in the table tells you how the machine is laid out. The uprights stand 4,000 mm (157.5 in) apart, almost a metre more than the working length. LVD says the tooling warehouse is integrated into the machine and takes no floor space beside it, and that extra width between the frames is where the room comes from. It also explains the weight of 18,500 kg (40,785 lb), which is a lot of machine for this force.

It is the quick one of the range. Approach speed is 180 mm/s and working speed 22 mm/s, against 120 mm/s and 21 mm/s on the ToolCell 220/30, and the 22 kW main motor and 250 L oil tank are the smallest in the line. Return speed is 200 mm/s. LVD notes that the approach figure applies in CE countries only with an optional safety system, and that working speed there is limited by safety norms.

Stroke is listed as 300-400 mm (11.8-15.7 in) and the table-to-ram distance as 500-600 mm (19.7-23.6 in). The upper ends correspond to LVD's option of up to 100 mm more stroke and open height. Easy-Form Laser angle measurement, a 6-axis modular backgauge and a variable frequency drive are part of the standard machine. Front supports and sheet followers are options.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Automatic tool changer and tooling warehouse inside the machine frame, with 4,000 mm (157.5 in) between the uprights
Fastest ram in the ToolCell line: 180 mm/s approach and 22 mm/s working speed
Easy-Form Laser adaptive bending and a 6-axis modular backgauge are standard
22 kW main motor on a variable frequency drive, the smallest motor in the range
One-piece welded frame that LVD says can be installed at floor level

Limitations

1,350 kN is the lowest force in the line; the ToolCell 220/30 and the larger models have 2,200 kN
18,500 kg (40,785 lb) for a 3,050 mm machine, because of the built-in tool storage
Tooling is restricted to LVD dies and W style punches
Table is 120 mm (4.7 in) wide with a 2,000 kN/m load limit; the PLUS table is not offered at this force

Best For

Small batches with a tool change between most jobs Thin and medium sheet up to 3,050 mm long High-mix work where angle correction on the first part matters Shops with one operator covering preparation and bending

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the ToolCell 135/30 change tools?

Grippers built into the backgauge fingers take punches and dies from a warehouse inside the machine and place them on the ram and table. LVD describes the operator preparing the next job, selecting the worksheet or fetching blanks, while the machine changes the top and bottom tooling on its own.

02 What is the bending capacity?

1,350 kN of pressing force over a 3,050 mm (120.1 in) working length, at 290 bar. The table's load limit is 2,000 kN/m. LVD's table does not turn those figures into a sheet thickness, which depends on material, die opening and bend length.

03 Why is the distance between uprights larger than the working length?

The table lists 4,000 mm (157.5 in) between the uprights for a 3,050 mm working length. LVD states that the tooling warehouse is integrated into the machine instead of standing next to it, so the frame is wider than the bending line it carries.

04 Which tooling does it take?

LVD dies and W style punches. On the standard ToolCell, LVD offers two sets of punch and die heights: standard tools, and taller tools for parts with higher flanges. Other tooling systems are not mentioned by the maker for this machine.

05 How does it compare with the ToolCell 220/30?

Both bend 3,050 mm and share the same frame width, stroke and open height. The ToolCell 220/30 has 2,200 kN, a 37 kW motor and a 350 L tank and weighs 24,500 kg, but approaches at 120 mm/s. The 135/30 column lists 180 mm/s, 22 kW, 250 L and 18,500 kg.
