Cincinnati press brakes, hydraulic shears, CL and CLX fiber laser cutting systems, and powder metal compacting presses — continuously manufactured in Harrison, Ohio. Over 68,000 machines in service across North America and 40 countries.
Every Cincinnati machine is designed, assembled, commissioned, and serviced from our Harrison, Ohio campus. No off-shore sub-assembly; full machine-level traceability.
CL and CLX series fiber laser cutting systems, 2 kW to 15 kW, in 5×10 ft to 6×20 ft bed configurations. Direct-drive linear motors on cast iron beds.
Hydraulic and electric CNC press brakes from 60 to 3000 ton, bed lengths from 6 to 26 feet. CNC crowning, 6-axis back-gauge, laser angle measurement.
American-made hydraulic plate and guillotine shears — 1/4 inch to 1 inch mild steel capacity, 6 to 20 foot blade lengths. Built for steel service center duty cycles.
Mechanical and hydraulic powder metal compacting presses, 35 to 1500 ton — one of the few remaining Western builders supplying automotive PM gear, bearing, and bushing producers.
Continuously manufacturing since 1898. Cincinnati press brakes from the 1960s are still running in active fabrication shops — a service longevity few global competitors can match.
Cincinnati brakes go to 3000 ton with 26-foot beds; shears cut 1-inch mild steel at 20-foot strokes — envelopes few builders still offer for structural and agricultural applications.
Fiber laser cutting systems are designed, assembled, and commissioned in Ohio — no off-shore sub-assembly. Each machine ships with an ISO 9013 sample cut on customer material.
Field Service maintains parts inventory and machine documentation going back to the 1960s. A 1972 Cincinnati shear can still be retrofitted with a modern CNC back-gauge package.
Cincinnati is one of the few remaining Western builders of 35-1500 ton powder metal compacting presses — 3-shift-duty machines for automotive PM, bearing, and bushing producers.
Every CL/CLX fiber laser ships as an FDA/CDRH Class 4 Laser Product under 21 CFR 1040.10, IEC 60825-1:2014 compliant, UL Listed for U.S. & Canada, and CE Marked for the EU.
Our Harrison, Ohio applications lab runs customer material — mild steel, stainless, aluminum, tool steel — through every press brake, shear, and fiber laser at the parameter envelope you will run in production.

High-throughput hydraulic shearing and fiber laser cutting of coil-derived plate and sheet for distributor blanking lines.
Heavy-gauge press-brake bending for combine frames, grain carts, trailers and implement hitches up to 3/4" thick.
Skid steer and excavator attachment fabrication, dozer blade forming, AR-plate cutting on high-tonnage Cincinnati brakes.
Long-bed press brakes and shears for building trades — column plates, bracket bending, stair stringer fabrication.
Versatile CL fiber lasers, Autoform press brakes and modest-tonnage shears for short-run contract metal fabrication.
Automotive PM gears, bearings, bushings and sintered parts — precision compacting on PTX and MSP series presses.
Cincinnati machines are engineered for multi-decade service life. A Cincinnati press brake bought in 1985 that is still bending today has avoided four generations of embodied-carbon replacement cycles. Our retrofit program extends that service life further — modern CNC controls, hydraulics and safety packages for legacy Cincinnati frames.
Long-bed brakes require CNC crowning to maintain angle consistency across 240-inch bends. How to size crowning stroke to plate thickness and material grade.
