How much does the Yawei PBG-160/3100 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei PBG-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
With 1,600 kN on a 3,100 mm (122.0 in) bed, the Yawei PBG-160/3100 is the mid-force, three-metre model of the PBG dual servo series. What stands out in its table is that the drive is no larger than on the PBG-110/3100.
Main motor power is 2 x 7.9 kW and the oil tank volume 2 x 60 L, the figures also printed for the PBG-110/3100. The slider speeds agree as well, at 220 mm/s; 18 mm/s; 200 mm/s. The frame is what grows: weight goes to 8,600 kg (18,959 lb) from the 7,000 kg (15,432 lb) of the PBG-110/3100, and the overall dimensions to 3,690 x 1,500 x 2,780 mm (145.3 x 59.1 x 109.4 in).
For the buyer this means the step up from the PBG-110/3100 costs nothing in speed or installed power, at least on paper. A PBG-110/3100 is hard to prefer unless the lighter frame matters.
The series description explains the drive: two servo motors with two oil pumps, pressure control that Yawei says cuts energy and oil consumption, a compact tank and a pipeless structure. The working space is 2,600 mm (102.4 in) between columns, a 410 mm (16.1 in) throat, a 215 mm (8.5 in) stroke and a mould height of 550 mm (21.7 in). That stroke is shorter than on Yawei's PBC and PBM machines of the same force, a point for anyone who bends deep sections.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Bending pressure 1,600 kN, bending length 3,100 mm (122.0 in), main motor power 2 x 7.9 kW, oil tank volume 2 x 60 L and machine weight 8,600 kg (18,959 lb).
02
Not according to the table. Both list slider speeds of 220 mm/s; 18 mm/s; 200 mm/s and the same motor power. The PBG-160/3100 is the heavier machine, at 8,600 kg (18,959 lb) against the 7,000 kg (15,432 lb) of the PBG-110/3100.
03
Slider stroke is 215 mm (8.5 in) and mould height is 550 mm (21.7 in). Throat depth is 410 mm (16.1 in), and the distance between columns is 2,600 mm (102.4 in).
04
It lists advanced pressure control for energy efficiency and reduced oil consumption, a compact oil tank for low maintenance and usage costs, and a pipeless structure that eliminates the risk of loose pipe joints and oil leakage.
