Press Brakes, Shears & Machining

Used Cincinnati Maxform Press Brake: Sell or Buy at Auction

Cincinnati Incorporated is an American manufacturer of press brakes, shears, laser cutting systems, and additive manufacturing equipment. Cincinnati machines, particularly press brakes and hydraulic shears, are workhorses of American metal fabrication shops, known for robust construction and long service life.

The Cincinnati Maxform is a hydraulic CNC press brake built by Cincinnati Incorporated and positioned as the company's flagship forming machine, engineered for a combination of cycle speed and forming accuracy. Unlike Cincinnati's older mechanical press brakes, which drive the ram with a flywheel, clutch, and brake, the Maxform uses a hydraulic ram controlled by a touchscreen CNC, a standard five-axis back gauge (with an optional six-axis linear motor drive gauge), and setup guidance that shows 3D part views. Maxform models were produced across roughly 90 to 350 tons with bed lengths up to about 14 feet, and common options include auto crowning, hydraulic clamping, a longer stroke, heavy-duty back gauges, and Dynamic Thickness Compensation, which measures material thickness during the bend to help hold angle accuracy. That makes it a true production machine: fast programming and setup for quick changeovers, plus multi-axis gauging for parts that take several bends in one sequence. Sheet metal fabricators, contract and job shops, and manufacturers running high-volume or high-mix work are the typical buyers, drawn to the Maxform's cycle speed, repeatable accuracy, and rugged American build. At auction, KD Auctions puts these press brakes in front of its network of 500,000+ industry contacts, where fabrication shops looking to add or upgrade CNC bending capacity, or replace an aging brake, compete for well-maintained units.
