Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Salvagnini B3 170/4250XL 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
Deep parts on a long bed: the Salvagnini B3 170/4250XL combines a 4,250 mm (167.3 in) table with the XL working window of a 520 mm throat, 450 mm maximum stroke and 700 mm table-ram distance. Bending force is 170 tons.
The obvious comparison is the B3 170/4250, which has the same force and table but a 435 mm throat and a 350 mm stroke. The XL has the larger figure in both of those rows. It gives up some speed, with approach and return at 220 mm/s where the standard frame reaches 250 mm/s, and it is a much heavier machine at 19,400 kg (42,769 lb).
Where does that pay? On long enclosure bodies, lift panels with deep returns, and wide U-channels that have to be lifted clear of the die after the second bend. A part that is both long and deep is awkward to support by hand, so the FLW sheet follower option is worth specifying; each unit carries up to 150 kg.
Total length is 5,330 mm, width 2,080 mm and height 3,705 mm. The side frames are 3,620 mm apart. Average consumption is listed at 2 kWh, no higher than the standard-frame machine of the same force.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 450 mm stroke and 700 mm table-ram distance on a 4,250 mm (167.3 in) table
- Throat depth of 520 mm for wide panels passing the side frames
- Approach and return at 220 mm/s
- Average consumption of 2 kWh despite the larger frame
- Optional FLW sheet followers, each with a maximum capacity of 150 kg
Limitations
- Mass of 19,400 kg (42,769 lb), against 13,500 kg for the B3 170/4250
- Slower approach than the B3 170/4250, which reaches 250 mm/s
- Total height of 3,705 mm needs a tall bay
- 170 tons over 4,250 mm suits thin and medium gauge, not heavy plate at full length

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The B3 170/4250 has a 435 mm throat, a 350 mm stroke, a 600 mm table-ram distance and a 250 mm/s approach speed, at 13,500 kg. The XL version has a 520 mm throat, 450 mm stroke and 700 mm table-ram distance, approaches at 220 mm/s and weighs 19,400 kg (42,769 lb).
02
It is 3,620 mm. The table itself is 4,250 mm (167.3 in) long, and the 520 mm throat depth sets how far a longer part can reach past the frames.
03
They are optional. Salvagnini recommends the FLW sheet follower for bending particularly large or heavy pieces, and each FLW has a maximum capacity of 150 kg. The standard front sliding shelves have a capacity of 120 kg.
04
Total length is 5,330 mm and total width 2,080 mm, with a total height of 3,705 mm. The B3 240/4250 is listed with the same dimensions and the same 19,400 kg mass.
