Consistent with its commitment to continuously improving products, CI introduces its newest model press brake, the HYFORM HX. The HX brings new technology and efficiencies to CI’s existing line up of hydraulic and electric drive press brakes. While building on the industry’s expectations for high-quality machine tools, Cincinnati’s new servo-motor pump drive HX press brake runs quiet and reduces operating cost with lower energy consumption and simplified maintenance.
The servo-motor driven pump only runs during the working portion of the stroke, saving considerable energy while the ram is stationary. In addition to energy savings the HX is environmentally friendly using only 22 gallons of fire resistant, readily biodegradable hydraulic fluid. The HX includes field-proven CI features such as a 22” touchscreen control, bend simulation software with 3D part views, interlocked frame members, Dynamic Thickness Compensation, programmable ram tilt and CI’s exclusive six-axis linear motor backgage. New features found on the HX are an ergonomic sliding overhead control arm, unique built in storage cabinets, LED lighting, protective cylinder covers and side and rear guards.
CI’s CIberLink generates daily log files of machine production and provides the ability to monitor machine status on a remote dashboard. The HX provides the productivity and versatility required by today’s fabricators. Job setups are assisted with a graphical display of tool locations, photo and video attachments, hydraulic tool clamping and programmable crowning. Ram speed of 500 ipm and precision ram repeatability of +.0004” assure fast and consistent production. The generous 14” stroke and 21” open height tackle challenging part shapes and tool heights.
