How much does the Yawei PBC-160/3100 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei PBC-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 PBC-160/3100 raises the three-metre PBC to 1,600 kN. Bending length is 3,100 mm (122.0 in), and the main motor is 17.8 kW (23.9 hp).
More pressure brings a heavier, slightly slower machine. It weighs 10,000 kg (22,046 lb), where the PBC-110/3100 weighs 8,500 kg (18,739 lb), and its slider speeds are 200 mm/s; 15 mm/s; 180 mm/s. The middle figure, the pressing speed in the usual reading, is 18 mm/s on the PBC-110/3100.
The working space does not change: 2,600 mm (102.4 in) between columns, 410 mm (16.1 in) of throat, 265 mm (10.4 in) of slider travel and 600 mm (23.6 in) of mould height. Tools, backgauge positions and programs for the lighter machine apply here too, with force to spare.
That reserve is the reason to buy it. Stainless steel, thicker mild steel and narrow die openings all push the required force up quickly, and a shop that works near the limit of a lighter brake gets inconsistent angles. Yawei's features for the series, point-by-point mechanical crowning and a dual rail slider guide, serve the same goal of repeatable angles. The oil tank holds 300 L and the machine measures 3,620 x 1,570 x 3,010 mm (142.5 x 61.8 x 118.5 in).
