How much does the Yawei PBA-160/3100 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei PBA-160/3100 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 PBA-160/3100 combines 1,600 kN with a 3,100 mm (122.0 in) bending length, a general-purpose size for a main brake. It weighs 8,600 kg (18,959 lb).
The drive is economical. Main motor power is 11.3 kW (15.2 hp), and the tank holds 300 L. Yawei's PBC-160/3100, a machine of the same force and length, lists 17.8 kW and 10,000 kg (22,046 lb).
Speed figures read 200 mm/s; 13 mm/s; 160 mm/s. The first of them equals the PBC-160/3100's; the second is 13 mm/s against 15 mm/s. On most jobs the difference is lost in handling time.
What separates the PBA from the PBC in Yawei's descriptions is how crowning is set. The PBA has CNC controlled mechanical crowning, adjusted by the control. The PBC has mechanical crowning adjustable point by point. One suits frequent changeovers; the other allows local correction of a worn or uneven setup. Frame dimensions are a 410 mm (16.1 in) throat, a 215 mm (8.5 in) stroke and a 550 mm (21.7 in) mould height, with 2,600 mm (102.4 in) between columns. Overall the machine is 3,630 x 1,525 x 2,780 mm (142.9 x 60.0 x 109.4 in), narrow enough at 1,525 mm to sit in a line of machines without wasting aisle.
