Bigger bending options

Belgium machine builder LVD has upgraded and expanded its PPS Series of cost-effective precision hydraulic press brakes for increased performance on a wider range of models up to 320 tons in capacity.

The higher specification PPS models offer greater flexibility and performance with increased open height, stroke and operating speeds. The PPS machines are available with LVD, Wila, Universal or US style tooling systems.
The latest models feature new style back gauges: from the standard X-axis back gauge with rigid construction for better, more accurate gauging and a handwheel R-axis adjustment to the optional X-R back gauge, equipped with the same construction plus a programmable R-axis.

The addition of these higher tonnage models to the PPS series provides heavier bending capacities to suit a broader range of applications and makes the PPS series one of the most comprehensive lines of entry-level press brakes with machines from 50 to 320 tons and bend lengths from 2,000mm to 4,000mm.

Available in 3- or 4-axis configurations, PPS press brakes combine a rugged, simple design and easy to use features in a value-minded machine that is ideal for general purpose bending applications. All models include LVD's touchscreen control unit equipped with an intuitive graphical user interface, enabling quick programming of simple parts.

PPS models up to 320 tons feature a rugged, welded one piece frame machined without repositioning guaranteeing machine precision. Hydraulic cylinders are machined from a solid steel billet. Pistons are steel forgings, precision ground and micro polished for years of trouble-free service, the manufacturer claims.
Microprocessor technology is linked to servo-controlled hydraulics and electronics to ensure total control of the bending process and optimum precision. Three new table sizes, 140mm for Multi-V 70mm square, 180mm for Multi-V 90mm square, and 250mm for Multi-V 130mm are available, depending on the model.

The LVD Group offers a comprehensive range of sheet metal/plate working machine tools and software solutions, including laser cutting systems, punch presses, press brakes, guillotine shears and mid-level automation systems, integrated and supported by its CADMAN PC-based Windows compatible software.
