Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Yawei PBM-220/4100 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 PBM-220/4100 is the largest press brake in Yawei's PBM high-end series: 2,200 kN of nominal force over a table 4,100 mm (161.4 in) long. The PBM line uses an oil-electric hybrid drive with pump-controlled synchronisation, and this model drives it with two 15 kW motors, listed as 15 x 2 kW.
The frame dimensions are the ones every PBM shares. Throat opening is 410 mm (16.1 in), slider stroke is 265 mm (10.4 in) and mould height is 600 mm (23.6 in). Between the columns there is 3,600 mm (141.7 in), so a part longer than that can only be bent to the depth of the throat before it meets the side frames.
Three slider speeds are printed without labels: 220 mm/s; 15 mm/s; 200 mm/s. Read in the usual order of approach, pressing and return, the middle figure is the one that sets cycle time on thick material, and it is the lowest in the series. The PBM-110/4100 lists 20 mm/s in that position. More force, slower press: that is the normal trade in a hydraulic system, hybrid or not.
At 14,700 kg (32,407 lb) and 4,650 x 1,850 x 3,095 mm (183.1 x 72.8 x 121.9 in), this is also the heaviest and tallest PBM. Check the floor loading and the headroom, since the listed height is for the machine alone. Yawei's page gives no backgauge, crowning or control details for the series, so those belong on the list of questions for the quotation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,200 kN of nominal force, the highest in the PBM series, over a 4,100 mm table
- Oil-electric hybrid drive with pump-controlled synchronous control, which Yawei credits with better energy saving
- 3,600 mm (141.7 in) between columns for full-depth bending of long parts
- 265 mm (10.4 in) of slider stroke with 600 mm (23.6 in) of mould height leaves room for tall tooling and deep boxes
Limitations
- Middle slider speed of 15 mm/s is the slowest in the series; the PBM-110/4100 lists 20 mm/s
- Heaviest PBM at 14,700 kg (32,407 lb), and 4,650 x 1,850 x 3,095 mm needs matching floor space and headroom
- The page states no backgauge axes, crowning method or control model
- Throat opening of 410 mm is no deeper than on the smallest PBM

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Nominal force is 2,200 kN and table length is 4,100 mm (161.4 in). Column spacing is 3,600 mm (141.7 in), throat opening 410 mm (16.1 in), slider stroke 265 mm (10.4 in) and mould height 600 mm (23.6 in).
02
Yawei describes an oil-electric hybrid drive system with pump-controlled synchronous control technology. Motor power for this model is listed as 15 x 2 kW, which reads as two motors of 15 kW each.
03
The table prints three slider speeds, 220 mm/s; 15 mm/s; 200 mm/s, without saying which is which. Press brake tables normally list approach, working and return speed in that order, so confirm the reading with Yawei if cycle time matters.
04
Overall dimensions are 4,650 x 1,850 x 3,095 mm (183.1 x 72.8 x 121.9 in) as length, width and height, and the total weight of the machine is 14,700 kg (32,407 lb). Those figures cover the machine only; allow for sheet handling in front and the backgauge behind.
