Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Salvagnini B3 240/4250 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 240/4250 sits in the middle of the B3 range: 240 tons, a 4,250 mm (167.3 in) table and the deep frame with a 450 mm stroke. For a shop that wants one electric press brake to cover most of its work, it is the natural size to look at first.
The figures explain why. Four metres and a quarter takes full sheets of the common large format. 240 tons handles medium plate over a useful share of that length. The 520 mm throat and 700 mm table-ram distance leave room for boxes and tall tooling, and the ram still approaches and returns at 220 mm/s. The side frames are 3,620 mm apart.
Its dimensions match the B3 170/4250XL line for line: 5,330 mm long, 2,080 mm wide, 3,705 mm high, with a mass of 19,400 kg (42,769 lb). Average consumption is 2.5 kWh.
This is also the table length at which Salvagnini offers the AU-TO versions with automatic tool set-up. The B3 AU-TO 240/4250 carries the same force, table, throat and stroke, and adds the tool change device at a mass of 21,600 kg. A buyer running many short batches should compare the two before deciding; one running long batches may be content with ATA tool length adjustment on this model.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Maximum bending force 240 tons, table length 4,250 mm (167.3 in), throat depth 520 mm, maximum stroke 450 mm, table-ram distance 700 mm, and approach and return speed 220 mm/s. The mass is 19,400 kg (42,769 lb).
02
The B3 AU-TO 240/4250 has the automatic tool change device and the same bending figures, but is listed at 5,560 mm long, 2,240 mm wide and 21,600 kg. The B3 240/4250 is 5,330 mm long, 2,080 mm wide and 19,400 kg.
03
Average consumption is listed at 2.5 kWh. The ram is driven by two independent direct-drive brushless motors, and the Direct Drive system adapts consumption to what the bending process needs in real time.
04
Yes, with the ATA device, which changes and automatically adjusts the upper bending tool length. ATA.L does the same for the lower tools, and MVM is the alternative that varies the die opening. These are automation devices to specify with the machine.
