Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Cincinnati Xi 175Xi10 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
At 175 tons and 12 ft (3,658 mm) of overall die surface, the Cincinnati Xi 175Xi10 is the top of the two-model Xi hydraulic press brake line. It is the model in the line with the reach for longer parts and heavier gauge.
Compared with the Xi 90Xi8 it gains stroke and daylight as well as force. Stroke length is 10 in (254 mm) against 8 in (203 mm) on the Xi 90Xi8, and open height is 17 in (432 mm) against 15 in (381 mm). Closed height stays at 7 in (178 mm) and the throat at 16 in (406 mm). The extra opening is useful for taller dies and for getting flanged parts out, though it remains a modest figure for box work.
The heavier ram moves more slowly outside the bend. Approach speed is 300 ipm (7,620 mm/min) and return speed 190 ipm (4,826 mm/min). Forming speed is 24 ipm (610 mm/min), identical to the Xi 90Xi8, and so is the ±0.0004 in (±0.010 mm) ram repeatability that comes from closed-loop hydraulic control, servo-proportional valves and linear encoders.
Headroom needs a look before delivery: the catalogue lists an overall height of 113 in (2,870 mm). The rest of the specification is shared across the line. There is a welded, stress-relieved frame, a 24 in touchscreen on a PC-based control, a standard backgage with a 24-inch range, an optional 5-axis backgage, a quick clamp system and a 100% duty cycle rating.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 175 tons over a 12 ft (3,658 mm) overall die surface
- 10 in (254 mm) stroke and 17 in (432 mm) open height, more than the Xi 90Xi8 offers
- ±0.0004 in (±0.010 mm) ram repeatability
- PC-based control with a 24 in touchscreen and optional offline programming
- 100% duty cycle rating and a welded, stress-relieved frame
Limitations
- Return speed is 190 ipm (4,826 mm/min) and approach 300 ipm (7,620 mm/min), slower than the Xi 90Xi8
- Open height of 17 in (432 mm) is well short of the 23 in (584 mm) of the XFORM 175XF10
- Overall height of 113 in (2,870 mm) has to clear the building and the rigging route
- A 5-axis backgage costs extra; the standard gage has a 24-inch range

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The overall die surface is 12 ft (3,658 mm). The throat is 16 in (406 mm), which sets how far a sheet can pass into the housings when a part is positioned outside the space between them.
02
Approach speed is 300 ipm (7,620 mm/min), forming speed 24 ipm (610 mm/min) and return speed 190 ipm (4,826 mm/min). Outside the bend it is slower than the Xi 90Xi8, which approaches at 400 ipm (10,160 mm/min) and returns at 240 ipm (6,096 mm/min); in the bend the two are the same.
03
Both have a 12 ft (3,658 mm) die surface and a 7 in (178 mm) closed height. The XFORM 175XF10 has a 16 in (406 mm) stroke, 23 in (584 mm) of open height, an 18 in (457 mm) throat and a 550 ipm (13,970 mm/min) approach speed. The Xi 175Xi10 has a 10 in (254 mm) stroke, 17 in (432 mm) open height, a 16 in (406 mm) throat and 300 ipm (7,620 mm/min) approach.
04
Ram repeatability is ±0.0004 in (±0.010 mm). Cincinnati credits closed-loop hydraulic control, servo-proportional valves and high-resolution linear encoders for it, and gives the same figure for the Xi 90Xi8.
