Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei PBA-160/4100 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-160/4100 is a four-metre press brake of 1,600 kN, with a 11.3 kW (15.2 hp) main motor. It is the mid-force long-bed model of the PBA electro-hydraulic series.
A useful comparison is with its counterpart in the PBC line. The PBC-160/4100 has a 17.8 kW motor and weighs 11,900 kg (26,235 lb). This machine does the same nominal job with 11.3 kW and 10,500 kg (23,148 lb). The larger frame of the PBC-160/4100 shows in its 265 mm (10.4 in) slider travel, where the PBA has 215 mm (8.5 in).
For long panels the PBA's CNC controlled crowning is its strongest listed feature. The control sets the bed correction for each program, which shortens setup when lengths and gauges change through the day. Cylinder synchronisation is closed-loop electro-hydraulic servo.
Slider speeds are 200 mm/s; 13 mm/s; 160 mm/s. Throat depth is 410 mm (16.1 in), mould height 550 mm (21.7 in), and the columns are 3,600 mm (141.7 in) apart. The oil tank volume is 400 L, and the machine measures 4,630 x 1,525 x 2,850 mm (182.3 x 60.0 x 112.2 in). Lift doors, cabinet sides and curtain wall panels in medium gauge are typical of what a brake of this size bends, and all three industries are on Yawei's application list for the series.
