What to Look for When Buying Used LVD Strippit Equipment
LVD Strippit machines are built across multiple production facilities worldwide with precision hydraulics, robust frames, and integrated CNC controls. Sheet metal fabrication equipment sees heavy cycle counts, so careful inspection is critical. Here is what to evaluate on used units.
On press brakes, test the ram, hydraulics, and bending accuracy. Verify consistent ram parallelism across full stroke. Check hydraulic cylinders for leaks, drift, and pressure stability. Perform test bends across the full bed length and compare achieved angles to programmed values. On Easy-Form models, verify that the laser adaptive bending system reads correctly and compensates in real time. Test the CNC backgauge on all axes for positioning accuracy and repeatability.
On laser cutting systems, verify the laser source and motion. Check actual laser output power against the rated specification. On fiber lasers (Phoenix FL, Lynx FL, Electra FL), verify beam quality and cutting performance on sample material at rated speed. Test the shuttle table or pallet changer for reliable exchange. Inspect the cutting head, nozzle, and lens for wear. On the Siemens or LVD Touch-L controller, verify all functions and confirm that CADMAN-L software operates correctly.
On punch presses, inspect the turret and tooling stations. On Strippit V-series turret punch presses, index through every station and verify accurate, positive lockup. Test punching force and stripping function. Check the sheet clamps for consistent grip and positioning accuracy. On PL combination machines, test both the punching and laser cutting functions independently and verify smooth mode switching.
Verify the CNC control and software licensing. LVD uses proprietary Touch-series CNC controllers (Touch-B for brakes, Touch-L for lasers, Touch-P for punch). Confirm clean power-up and test all control functions. Verify that CADMAN software licenses transfer with the machine and that the installed version supports your production requirements.
LVD Press Brakes
Easy-Form, PPED & PPEC Series
The Easy-Form series is LVD's premium press brake platform, featuring the patented Easy-Form Laser in-process angle measurement system that monitors and corrects the bend angle in real time without trial bends. Available from 50 to 640 US tons and bend lengths from 6 to 26 feet. The PPED hydraulic press brakes (50 to 320 tons) provide a multi-axis backgauge, CNC V-axis crowning, and the Touch-B controller for versatile bending at an accessible investment level. The PPEC electric press brakes deliver energy-efficient, high-speed bending.
ToolCell, Dyna-Press & Synchro-Form
The ToolCell XT features automatic tool changing, reducing setup time to a fraction of manual methods. The Dyna-Press (40 to 60 tons) is a compact, electric-drive press brake for high-speed air bending, coining, hemming, and bottoming of small parts. The Synchro-Form series handles heavy-duty custom bending with extra-large tonnage for structural steel, shipbuilding, wind tower, and energy sector plate fabrication.
LVD Fiber Laser Cutting Systems
The Phoenix FL is LVD's production fiber laser platform with power options from 3 kW through 20 kW for high-speed cutting of mild steel, stainless, aluminum, brass, and copper. The Electra FL delivers premium cutting speed and accuracy. The Lynx FL provides entry-level fiber laser capability with a Siemens CNC and low operating costs. The Taurus FL handles large-format sheet and plate. The TL series (TL 8525) cuts round, square, and rectangular tubes and profiles. All laser systems integrate with CADMAN-L programming and LVD automation options.
Strippit Punch Presses & Combination Machines
The Strippit V-series (V20, V30) turret punch presses handle punching, forming, tapping, and louver cutting in a single machine with tonnage up to 33 tons. The Strippit PX-series provides single-head punching with the flexibility developed from the Pullmax AB acquisition. The Strippit PL punch/laser combination machine integrates punching and forming capability with fiber laser cutting speed on a single platform, eliminating secondary operations.
How to Sell Your Used LVD Strippit
LVD Strippit machines hold strong resale value thanks to Belgian engineering, the Easy-Form adaptive bending system, CADMAN software integration, and broad demand from sheet metal fabricators. Easy-Form press brakes, Phoenix FL lasers, and Strippit V-series punch presses are in particularly high demand.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used LVD Strippit Machines
Are used LVD Strippit machines reliable?
Yes. LVD has manufactured sheet metal fabrication equipment since 1952, and Strippit has built punching technology since the 1920s. The combined company operates production facilities in six countries with sales and service in 47+ markets. Robust hydraulics, precision frames, and integrated CNC controls deliver long-term reliability.
What is the relationship between LVD and Strippit?
LVD (Lefebvre, Vanneste, Dewulf) was founded in 1952 in Belgium. Strippit, Inc. was established in the 1920s in the United States as a pioneer in self-stripping punch tooling. LVD acquired Strippit in 1998. LVD North America operates as the sales and service division of Strippit, Inc. from Akron, New York. Used machines may carry LVD, Strippit, or LVD Strippit branding.
What should I inspect before buying used LVD Strippit equipment?
On press brakes, test ram parallelism, hydraulic condition, bending accuracy, and backgauge repeatability. On lasers, verify source power and cut quality. On punch presses, test turret indexing and punching force. On all machines, verify CNC control function and CADMAN software licensing.
What LVD Strippit models hold their value best?
Easy-Form press brakes with laser adaptive bending hold the strongest values due to premium technology. Phoenix FL fiber lasers and ToolCell auto-tool-change brakes also retain well. Call (844) 478-8181 for current valuations.
