Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Cincinnati XFORM 90XF8 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 XFORM 90XF8 is a hydraulic press brake with a 10 ft (3,048 mm) overall die surface, a 14 in (356 mm) stroke and an 18 in (457 mm) throat. Ram speeds are 650 ipm (16,510 mm/min) approach, 75 ipm (1,905 mm/min) forming and 565 ipm (14,351 mm/min) return.
A useful way to read those numbers is against Cincinnati's other brake with the same bed length. The Xi 90Xi8 also has a 10 ft (3,048 mm) die surface, but its stroke is 8 in (203 mm), its open height 15 in (381 mm) and its forming speed 24 ipm (610 mm/min). The XFORM 90XF8 opens to 21 in (533 mm) from a 7 in (178 mm) closed height. That extra daylight is what lets gooseneck punches, tall dies and deep channels clear, and the forming speed is roughly three times as high.
Equipment follows the XFORM series description: a 5-axis backgage, and a 24 in touch screen control with 3D graphics and advanced angle correction. Crowning that can be programmed is a premium item.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 21 in (533 mm) open height and 14 in (356 mm) stroke, against 15 in (381 mm) and 8 in (203 mm) on the Xi 90Xi8
- Forming speed of 75 ipm (1,905 mm/min)
- 10 ft (3,048 mm) overall die surface with an 18 in (457 mm) throat
- 650 ipm (16,510 mm/min) approach speed
Limitations
- Forming slows to 55 ipm (1,397 mm/min) on the next size, the XFORM 135XF8, so stepping up costs bend speed
- The 6-axis backgage and programmable crowning are premium features
- No tonnage row is printed in the maker's table for this model
