How much does the Cincinnati XFORM 175XF8 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Cincinnati XFORM 175XF8 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 step up to the Cincinnati XFORM 175XF8 brings a bigger opening as well as a bigger frame. Stroke length rises to 16 in (406 mm) and open height to 23 in (584 mm), while the overall die surface is 10 ft (3,048 mm) and the throat 18 in (457 mm). Closed height remains 7 in (178 mm).
The XFORM 135XF8, at the same bed length, has a 14 in (356 mm) stroke. The extra ram travel sounds minor, but on return-flanged parts and deep U-sections it is often the difference between pulling the part out forwards and having to slide it off the end of the tooling.
The price in speed is moderate. Approach is 550 ipm (13,970 mm/min), forming 45 ipm (1,143 mm/min) and return 485 ipm (12,319 mm/min). The hybrid XFORMe 175XFe8 has the same approach speed and a forming speed of 70 ipm (1,778 mm/min), so anyone ordering this size should look at both drive types.
