Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Salvagnini B3 240/5100 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
Five-metre bending without a slow ram is the case for the Salvagnini B3 240/5100. It has a 5,100 mm (200.8 in) table and 240 tons, and its approach and return speed is 220 mm/s.
That speed is the detail to notice. The other five-metre machine at lower force, the B3 170/5100XL, is listed at 180 mm/s, and the longer B3 240/6100 also drops to 180 mm/s. Salvagnini's table shows the B3 240/5100 with the same 21,500 kg mass and the same 6,330 x 2,080 x 3,705 mm envelope as the B3 170/5100XL, so the higher force and quicker ram come in the same space.
The working window is the deep one used across the 240 ton group: 520 mm throat, 450 mm maximum stroke, 700 mm table-ram distance. Between the side frames there is 4,620 mm. Long structural sections, trailer and body panels and tall cabinet sides fit that profile, where the part is both long and of some thickness.
Average consumption is listed at 2.5 kWh and the mass in imperial terms is 47,399 lb. Six backgauge types are offered, from 4 to 9 axis, and on parts of this length the higher axis counts earn their place by positioning each end of the part independently.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 5,100 mm (200.8 in) table at an approach and return speed of 220 mm/s
- 240 tons for long parts of some thickness
- 4,620 mm between the side frames
- Same envelope and 21,500 kg mass as the B3 170/5100XL
- Backgauges in six types, from 4 to 9 axis, all on linear guides
Limitations
- Total length of 6,330 mm needs a long bay
- Average consumption of 2.5 kWh
- Mass of 21,500 kg (47,399 lb)
- For parts beyond 5,100 mm only the B3 240/6100 is longer, and its ram is slower at 180 mm/s

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Maximum approach and return speed is 220 mm/s, with a bending speed of 15 mm/s. The B3 170/5100XL, which has the same table length, is listed at 180 mm/s.
02
The table is 5,100 mm (200.8 in) long and the maximum bending force is 240 tons. The side frames are 4,620 mm apart and the throat is 520 mm deep.
03
It measures 6,330 mm in total length, 2,080 mm in width and 3,705 mm in height, and its mass is 21,500 kg (47,399 lb). Allow for the sliding doors, which are attached to the structure and do not add to the footprint.
04
Salvagnini offers six backgauge types, from 4 to 9 axis, with all axes on linear guides. It does not tie a type to a model, so choose from the part mix: tapered or asymmetric long parts are the usual reason to go beyond the basic axis count.
