One of the reasons we understand the needs of our customers so well is that, like them, we are in metal fabrication ourselves. As makers of metal fabrication products, we face many of the same challenges that they do on a daily basis. Our goal is to help them increase productivity and efficiency in their businesses by providing the best possible machines, tooling and engineering support possible.

CINCINNATI makes some of the finest press brakes in the world. That being said, if you don’t have tooling to put into the machine, no metal is going to be formed today. It’s like a drill without a drill bit – pretty much useless. For that reason, we make sure the reputation of our press brake tooling matches that of our machines.

For a quarter century, Tom Racicot has been a welder. The first 15 years of his career was spent at a welding company, where he learned the ropes and ultimately gained enough expertise that he hit his ceiling. As it turned out, he had just as much passion and talent for hands-on fabrication as he did for welding.

So in 2011, he set off on his own and opened T.R. Welding & Fabrication out of his garage. The Wappingers Falls, NY company welds steel, aluminum and stainless, and it provides custom welding, structural steel, aluminum and mobile welding services. Starting the company was riskier than staying put, but Tom didn’t think twice about it. His talent spoke for itself.

Suffering from tight margins? Could you use a little less noise in the shop? Are you a perfectionist? If you answered “yes” to any, or all, of these questions, we’ve got a press brake to tell you about. Our brand-new servo-motor pump drive HYFORM HX press brake was designed to run quietly and reduce operating costs with lower energy consumption and simplified maintenance. 

Vermeer® Corporation, a third-generation family-owned company based in Pella, Iowa, is known for the manufacture of high-quality agricultural, underground construction, surface mining, tree care and environmental equipment. Known since 1948 for building products that are durable and reliable, it stands to reason that they would look for a fabrication equipment partner with the same reputation. They found the perfect match in CINCINNATI.

When operating a press brake, you have two primary and vital objectives. First, you must eliminate the need for operators to place any parts of their bodies within (or even near) the point of operation when loading, forming or unloading. Second, choose a guard, device or operating method that prevents entry or stops die closing if the operators inadvertently enter the point of operation.

Ryan Carne, president of Detronic Industries, has been with the same company for 24 years. He’s had Cincinnati press brakes that entire time. Why the focus on Cincinnati? In their president’s words, “They place an uncommon emphasis on educating and taking care of their customers.”

Thanks to the small footprint, the hydraulic Autoform perfectly complements the existing CI line of compact electric press brakes and allows for more efficient production of your smaller parts.

Why use green eco fluid when hydraulic oil is available? Well, CI FireSafe Eco Fluid provides fire safety, performance life and environmental benefits.

Investing in new technology keeps Accurate at the head of the pack. After shifting to SOLIDWORKS a few years ago, they purchased a laser cutting machine to boost productivity and accuracy over their hi-def plasma. The laser led to more precision jobs, and Accurate quickly found itself in need of a more precise press brake that could keep pace.

CINCINNATI designs and produces our own PC-based controls in-house improving efficiencies in programming, all with the American user in mind.

There are roughly 60,000 active CINCINNATI machines in the wild. Many were built this century. But some? Some are nearly a century old.

CINCINNATI uses a FARO Laser Tracker to measure the accuracy of large pieces before we go to final assembly.

Countless CINCINNATI press brakes have been created and shipped in the past 100+ years, but back in 1989, a special one was born. This is its story.

CINCINNATI has designed high-tech controls components for older press brake machines. Same great functions with added reliability, set-up speed and versatility.
