How much does the Cincinnati XFORMe 175XFe8 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Cincinnati XFORMe 175XFe8 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 Cincinnati XFORMe 175XFe8 is a hybrid press brake on the larger-opening frame: 16 in (406 mm) of stroke, 23 in (584 mm) open and 7 in (178 mm) closed, with an 18 in (457 mm) throat and a 10 ft (3,048 mm) overall die surface.
Against the hydraulic XFORM 175XF8 it gives nothing away. Approach speed is the same 550 ipm (13,970 mm/min). Forming is 70 ipm (1,778 mm/min) where the XFORM 175XF8 manages 45 ipm (1,143 mm/min), and return is 550 ipm (13,970 mm/min) where the hydraulic machine has 485 ipm (12,319 mm/min). On the published figures this is simply the quicker brake of the pair.
The drive behind those numbers is a pair of servo motors on a bidirectional pump, working a small volume of fire-resistant, biodegradable fluid. Dynamic Thickness Compensation is fitted as standard, and the 5-axis backgage listed for the series positions the part in depth, side to side, angle and height.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Forming speed of 70 ipm (1,778 mm/min), against 45 ipm (1,143 mm/min) on the XFORM 175XF8
- Return at 550 ipm (13,970 mm/min), faster than the 485 ipm (12,319 mm/min) of the XFORM 175XF8
- 16 in (406 mm) stroke with 23 in (584 mm) of open height
- Dynamic Thickness Compensation (DTC) fitted as standard
Limitations
- Die surface is 10 ft (3,048 mm); the XFORMe 175XFe10 is needed for 12 ft (3,658 mm)
- The hybrid drive still carries hydraulic fluid, though in a low-capacity system
