Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Cincinnati GOFORM 60GX5 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 GOFORM 60GX5 is the long-bed model of the electric GOFORM press brakes: 60 tons across a 60 in (1,524 mm) overall die surface. The GOFORM 40GX3 and GOFORM 60GX3 stop at 40 in (1,016 mm).
Length changes the character of the machine more than the tonnage does. Domestic shipping weight is 9,600 lb (4,355 kg), where the GOFORM 60GX3 with the same 60 tons ships at 6,425 lb (2,914 kg). Cincinnati still describes the GOFORM as portable by fork truck, but at this weight the truck has to be chosen for the job. What the extra bed gives is room: longer parts in one hit, or several tool stations set up side by side so a part is finished without a tool change.
Ram data matches the shorter 60 tons model. Approach speed is 350 ipm (8,890 mm/min), forming speed 40 ipm (1,016 mm/min) and return speed 350 ipm (8,890 mm/min). The stroke is 10 in (254 mm) between a 7 in (178 mm) closed height and a 17 in (432 mm) open height. Throat depth is 8 in (203 mm), and ram repeatability is ±0.0002 in (±0.005 mm).
Because the ram runs on planetary roller screws there is no hydraulic system to maintain, and the maker points to bottom bending as something this drive does that ballscrew machines struggle with. The 6xGX six-axis backgage is the listed gage. Pass line and control adjust for sitting or standing, tooling locks with a quick clamp system, and an angle measuring option is offered. The machine stands 98 in (2,489 mm) high.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 60 in (1,524 mm) die surface, the longest in the GOFORM line
- 60 tons from an electric drive with no hydraulic oil
- ±0.0002 in (±0.005 mm) ram repeatability
- 10 in (254 mm) stroke and 17 in (432 mm) open height
- 6xGX 6-axis backgage and a quick clamp system
Limitations
- Ships at 9,600 lb (4,355 kg), far heavier than the 6,425 lb (2,914 kg) GOFORM 60GX3
- Forming speed of 40 ipm (1,016 mm/min) is below the 60 ipm (1,524 mm/min) of the GOFORM 40GX3
- Throat is 8 in (203 mm), the same as on the shorter models
- 60 tons spread over 60 in gives less force per unit of length than the GOFORM 60GX3

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Its bed. The overall die surface is 60 in (1,524 mm), against 40 in (1,016 mm) on the GOFORM 40GX3 and GOFORM 60GX3. Tonnage is 60 tons and the ram speeds are those of the GOFORM 60GX3. It is also the heaviest of the three at 9,600 lb (4,355 kg) domestic shipping weight.
02
Approach and return are both 350 ipm (8,890 mm/min) and forming speed is 40 ipm (1,016 mm/min). Ram repeatability is ±0.0002 in (±0.005 mm).
03
Cincinnati describes the GOFORM line as fully portable via fork truck. This model's domestic shipping weight is 9,600 lb (4,355 kg) and it is 98 in (2,489 mm) high, so the move needs a truck rated for that load and a route with enough headroom.
04
Cincinnati says so. Its explanation is that the planetary roller screw design outperforms ballscrew drive systems and opens the door to both air bending and bottom bending on the same machine. Whether a given bottoming job fits within 60 tons over the part length is a calculation to make for each part.
