How much does the Cincinnati GOFORM 60GX3 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Cincinnati GOFORM 60GX3 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
Cincinnati's GOFORM 60GX3 puts 60 tons on the short 40 in (1,016 mm) die surface of the electric GOFORM line. Tonnage per unit of length is therefore the highest of the three models, which is what small, thick or high-strength parts ask for.
The frame is close to that of the GOFORM 40GX3. Domestic shipping weight is 6,425 lb (2,914 kg), only slightly above the 6,400 lb (2,903 kg) of the GOFORM 40GX3, and the working dimensions are the same: 10 in (254 mm) of stroke, a 7 in (178 mm) closed height, 17 in (432 mm) open height and an 8 in (203 mm) throat. Overall height is 98 in (2,489 mm). It remains a machine a fork truck can relocate.
More force comes at lower ram speeds. Approach and return are 350 ipm (8,890 mm/min) and forming is 40 ipm (1,016 mm/min); the GOFORM 40GX3 is listed at 400 ipm (10,160 mm/min) and 60 ipm (1,524 mm/min). Ram repeatability is unchanged at ±0.0002 in (±0.005 mm).
The drive is a planetary roller screw design, electric, with no hydraulic oil. Cincinnati says the roller screws let the machine bottom bend as well as air bend, and bottoming is one of the jobs where the extra tonnage over the GOFORM 40GX3 is most likely to be used. A 6xGX backgage, a quick clamp system and an adjustable pass line and control complete the listed equipment. Angle measuring can be added.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 60 tons on a 40 in (1,016 mm) die surface
- Shipping weight of 6,425 lb (2,914 kg), close to the GOFORM 40GX3, and still fork truck portable
- ±0.0002 in (±0.005 mm) ram repeatability
- Electric planetary roller screw drive that handles air bending and bottom bending
- 10 in (254 mm) stroke and 17 in (432 mm) open height with a 6-axis 6xGX backgage
Limitations
- Forming speed is 40 ipm (1,016 mm/min), down from 60 ipm (1,524 mm/min) on the GOFORM 40GX3
- Approach and return are 350 ipm (8,890 mm/min), not the 400 ipm (10,160 mm/min) of the GOFORM 40GX3
- Die surface is limited to 40 in (1,016 mm); the GOFORM 60GX5 has 60 in (1,524 mm)
- The throat is 8 in (203 mm) deep, as on the other GOFORM models

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Tonnage and speed. The GOFORM 60GX3 is rated at 60 tons and the GOFORM 40GX3 at 40 tons, on the same 40 in (1,016 mm) die surface. The GOFORM 60GX3 approaches at 350 ipm (8,890 mm/min) and forms at 40 ipm (1,016 mm/min); the GOFORM 40GX3 is listed at 400 ipm (10,160 mm/min) and 60 ipm (1,524 mm/min).
02
Cincinnati lists a domestic shipping weight of 6,425 lb (2,914 kg). The GOFORM 60GX5, which has the same tonnage on a 60 in (1,524 mm) die surface, ships at 9,600 lb (4,355 kg).
03
Open height is 17 in (432 mm), closed height 7 in (178 mm) and stroke length 10 in (254 mm). The throat is 8 in (203 mm). All three GOFORM models share these figures.
04
No. It is an electric press brake with a planetary roller screw drive, and Cincinnati notes that it can operate in clean rooms because there is no hydraulic oil. The catalogue calls the drive power on-demand.
