How much does the Yawei PBM-160/3100 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei PBM-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) table, the Yawei PBM-160/3100 sits in the middle of Yawei's high-end PBM range on both counts. It is the class that covers most sheet and light plate work without the bulk of a four-metre machine.
Its neighbours show what is being traded. The PBM-110/3100 has the same table and frame geometry with 1,100 kN and weighs 9,000 kg (19,841 lb). The PBM-220/3100 raises force to 2,200 kN and weight to 13,000 kg (28,660 lb). This model, at 10,500 kg (23,148 lb), is closer to the small one in mass and footprint.
Yawei rates the hybrid drive at 7.5 x 2 kW. The PBM concept is an oil-electric system whose pumps control the synchronisation of the two cylinders, and the maker claims better energy saving and higher speed for it than for a conventional design. Listed slider speeds are 220 mm/s; 18 mm/s; 220 mm/s.
For setup, the useful numbers are 2,600 mm (102.4 in) between columns, 410 mm (16.1 in) of throat opening, 265 mm (10.4 in) of stroke and 600 mm (23.6 in) of mould height. The stroke is generous for a machine of this force, which helps when withdrawing deep four-sided parts from the punch. The overall size is 3,630 x 1,600 x 2,985 mm (142.9 x 63.0 x 117.5 in).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 1,600 kN and 3,100 mm: the mid-size combination in the PBM series
- At 10,500 kg (23,148 lb), much nearer the PBM-110/3100 than the PBM-220/3100 in mass
- 265 mm (10.4 in) stroke for deep boxes and tall tooling
- Return speed position lists 220 mm/s, higher than the 200 mm/s of the PBM-220/3100
Limitations
- 2,600 mm (102.4 in) between columns restricts full-depth bending to parts shorter than that
- A 3,100 mm table cannot take standard four-metre sheet lengthwise
- The page gives no positioning accuracy for ram or backgauge
- Motor power of 7.5 x 2 kW is higher than the 5.5 x 2 kW of the PBM-110/3100
