Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Salvagnini B3 240/3000 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 Salvagnini B3 240/3000 concentrates 240 tons on a 3,060 mm (120.5 in) table. It is the short, strong member of the 240 ton group, built on the deep frame: 520 mm throat, 450 mm maximum stroke and 700 mm table-ram distance.
Force per metre is what this model is about. A three-metre bed with 240 tons bends thicker plate and tighter radii than the lighter machines can, and short heavy parts such as brackets, gussets and machine guards do not need a longer table. The distance between the side frames is 2,650 mm.
Salvagnini's table gives it exactly the envelope of the B3 170/3000XL: 4,360 mm long, 2,080 mm wide, 3,705 mm high, 17,000 kg (37,478 lb). Yet the B3 240/3000 has the quicker ram, with approach and return at 220 mm/s against 180 mm/s on the B3 170/3000XL. Average consumption is 2.5 kWh.
Thicker material springs back more and varies more from batch to batch. The adaptive functions listed for the B3 (S-CROWNING, AMS and TFC2.0) are there to remove test bends and corrections, and they matter most on exactly this kind of work.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 240 tons on a 3,060 mm (120.5 in) table for thicker plate
- Approach and return at 220 mm/s, faster than the B3 170/3000XL at 180 mm/s
- Deep frame: 520 mm throat, 450 mm stroke, 700 mm table-ram distance
- Adaptive technologies S-CROWNING, AMS and TFC2.0
- Same 4,360 x 2,080 mm footprint as the B3 170/3000XL
Limitations
- Mass of 17,000 kg (37,478 lb) on a three-metre machine
- Average consumption of 2.5 kWh, above the B3 170/3000XL
- Table limited to 3,060 mm; longer work needs the B3 240/4250
- Total height of 3,705 mm to clear under cranes

Frequently Asked Questions
01
It has a maximum bending force of 240 tons on a 3,060 mm (120.5 in) table, so it offers high force per metre. That suits thicker plate and short heavy parts. Stroke is 450 mm and table-ram distance 700 mm.
02
No. Both are listed at 4,360 mm total length, 2,080 mm width, 3,705 mm height and 17,000 kg. The B3 170/3000XL has an approach and return speed of 180 mm/s; the B3 240/3000 reaches 220 mm/s and has an average consumption of 2.5 kWh.
03
Salvagnini lists S-CROWNING, AMS and TFC2.0 as the integrated adaptive technologies of the B3. S-CROWNING is adaptive mechanical crowning and AMS is a laser angle measurement system that detects springback. Salvagnini says they eliminate scrap and part correction.
04
Throat depth is 520 mm, and the distance between the side frames is 2,650 mm. Parts wider than the frame opening can be bent as long as the flange depth stays within the throat.
