Featured Machines
Cincinnati prioritizes the operator experience by using consistent, intuitive controls across its entire machine lineup, so operators can move between machines more efficiently without relearning new systems.
Laser Cutting
At this year’s show, CI will debut its latest advancements in laser cutting technology, giving attendees an exclusive first look the new CI Fiber, a high-performance fiber laser tailored for small to mid-size fabricators looking for an affordable yet powerful cutting solution. With flexible power options, a precision optical system, and modular hardware, the machine delivers consistent, accurate cuts while prioritizing speed, durability, and operator ease-of-use.
Headlining CI’s exhibit is the next-generation of their flagship laser system. This new fiber laser is a high-end linear drive fiber laser that merges the best features of CI’s current CL-900 and CLX models into one all new machine. Available in 10-, 12-, and 15-kilowatt power options, and in multiple table sizes (3x1.5 meters and 4x2 meters), this new laser is automation-ready and engineered for peak performance.
Machine highlights include:
● A redesigned non-hydraulic pallet exchange system, making it one of the fastest in the industry
● A new dual-monitor control station with onboard programming
● An automatic nozzle changer with a quick-connect design
● A centering camera for operator ease
With these features and more, this new laser represents our most advanced, operator-focused, and high-performance laser cutting solution to date. See the official unveiling at their booth.
Press Brakes & Automation
CI’s groundbreaking XFORM and XFORMe press brakes feature innovative advancements, including faster ram speeds, a quieter drive system, a larger control screen, a larger standard stroke and throat, and will be equipped with 6XGX and 6XLT backgages, respectively.
Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern fabrication, the XFORM line of press brakes feature a robust frame and advanced hydraulic systems that deliver reliable forming power across a range of applications. Its intuitive touchscreen control system streamlines operation and minimizes setup time, while options like dynamic crowning and Dynamic Thickness Compensation (DTC) ensure consistency and accuracy throughout the bend. Whether for small shops or large-scale production, the XFORM offers a durable and scalable solution that fabricators can depend on. Now with all-new, easy-access cylinder covers with built-in indicator lights that can display the machine’s status when paired with CIberDash.
