How much does the Yawei HPE-3078 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei HPE-3078 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 Yawei HPE-3078 is the largest of six HPE servo turret punch presses, built for sheet of 2,000 x 5,000 mm (78.7 x 196.9 in) with one repositioning. No other punch on Yawei's HPE page takes a sheet 2,000 mm wide.
Size shows in the machine itself. It is 6,920 mm (272.4 in) long and weighs 25,500 kg (56,217 lb); the next model down, the HPE-3058, weighs 19,000 kg (41,887 lb). That mass sits in a wider frame and table, and the punching head is unchanged: 294 kN, a punching frequency of 2,300 cpm, and a largest punch of Φ88.9 mm (3.5 in).
Yawei's description of the HPE centres on the servo-controlled head. It quotes up to 2300 strokes/min and a dead-point positioning accuracy of 0.01mm, which is what makes controlled forming and roller forming possible on a punch. Hole-to-hole punching accuracy is a separate figure, ±0.1 mm (±0.0039 in).
Working power is listed as 6.1 kW (8.2 hp), a low figure that fits the maker's energy-saving claim for the servo drive. The table shows 5 (X, Y, T, C, Z) controlled axes and sheet travel of up to 102 m/min. Maximum thickness is 6.35 mm (0.25 in) in carbon steel and 4 mm (0.16 in) in stainless. The number of die positions is not in the HPE table, so the turret layout has to be requested.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Largest sheet in the HPE series: 2,000 x 5,000 mm (78.7 x 196.9 in) including one repositioning
- Servo punching head with a punching frequency of 2,300 cpm
- Dead-point positioning accuracy of 0.01mm stated for the servo head
- Working power of only 6.1 kW (8.2 hp)
- Sheet travel speed of 102 m/min
Limitations
- At 25,500 kg (56,217 lb) it is by far the heaviest HPE; the HPE-3058 weighs 19,000 kg (41,887 lb)
- Needs 6,920 mm by 5,000 mm of floor
- The table does not state the number of die positions
- Thickness limit of 6.35 mm is the same as on the smallest HPE
