How much does the Salvagnini B3 170/3000XL cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Salvagnini B3 170/3000XL 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
XL in the Salvagnini B3 170/3000XL stands for a larger working window, not a longer bed. The table is still 3,060 mm (120.5 in) and the force 170 tons, but the throat is 520 mm deep, the maximum stroke is 450 mm and the table-ram distance is 700 mm.
Those three figures decide whether a box can be bent at all. A 450 mm stroke lets tall punches clear high side walls, and 700 mm between table and ram leaves room to withdraw a deep four-sided part. The 520 mm throat lets a wide panel slide further past the side frames, which here stand 2,650 mm apart.
The bigger frame has costs that the table makes plain. Mass rises to 17,000 kg (37,478 lb), against 11,700 kg for the B3 170/3000. Total height reaches 3,705 mm and total width 2,080 mm. Approach and return speed falls to 180 mm/s, the lowest figure in the range, so on shallow parts the standard frame will be quicker. Average consumption is listed at 2 kWh.
Pick this model when the part family includes enclosures, deep trays or channels with tall return flanges. For flat work its extra opening goes unused.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
In Salvagnini's table the XL models have a 520 mm throat depth, a 450 mm maximum stroke and a 700 mm table-ram distance. The table length is unchanged at 3,060 mm (120.5 in).
02
On approach and return, yes. The B3 170/3000XL is listed at 180 mm/s and the B3 170/3000 at 250 mm/s. Bending speed is 15 mm/s on both, because it is regulated by current standards.
03
Total length is 4,360 mm, total width 2,080 mm and total height 3,705 mm. The mass is 17,000 kg (37,478 lb). The B3 240/3000 is listed with identical dimensions and mass.
04
Salvagnini gives no box depth figure. The limits to work from are the 450 mm maximum stroke, the 700 mm table-ram distance and the height of the tooling fitted. Ask for a tooling layout drawn for the deepest part.
