Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei PBC-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
For four-metre work in medium gauges, the PBC series offers the Yawei PBC-160/4100, with 1,600 kN of bending pressure over 4,100 mm (161.4 in).
It stands between two neighbours on the same bed length. The PBC-110/4100 is lighter, at 9,200 kg (20,282 lb), and suits thin sheet only. The PBC-220/4100 weighs 14,000 kg (30,864 lb) and is wider. This machine, at 11,900 kg (26,235 lb), keeps the narrow 1,570 mm width of the 1,600 kN frame.
Speeds are 200 mm/s; 15 mm/s; 170 mm/s. Compared with the three-metre PBC-160/3100 only the last figure changes, from 180 mm/s. The oil tank grows to 400 L, while the main motor stays at 17.8 kW (23.9 hp).
Long bends in thicker sheet load the bed heavily and unevenly, and the crowning has to match. Yawei's mechanical crowning for the PBC is adjustable point by point, which gives finer correction than a single central wedge setting. The slider is guided by a dual rail structure. Frame dimensions are 410 mm (16.1 in) for the throat, 265 mm (10.4 in) for slider travel and 600 mm (23.6 in) for mould height, with 3,600 mm (141.7 in) between the columns. Overall size is 4,620 x 1,570 x 3,060 mm (181.9 x 61.8 x 120.5 in).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,600 kN over a 4,100 mm bending length
- 3,600 mm (141.7 in) between columns
- Point-by-point mechanical crowning for long, loaded bends
- Lighter and narrower than the PBC-220/4100
- 400 L oil tank on a 17.8 kW (23.9 hp) motor
Limitations
- Third slider speed of 170 mm/s, the slowest of the 1,600 kN PBC pair
- Weighs 11,900 kg (26,235 lb)
- Thick plate over the full length still needs the PBC-220/4100
- Overall height above three metres
