Highly Productive Universal Bending Machines Deliver Superior Performance

In Booth B-6309, TRUMPF Inc. (Farmington, CT) will showcase high axis speeds and acceleration rates combined with innovative operating aids that lead to unparalleled productivity with their TruBend 5130 with ToolMaster. Highly productive TruBend Series 5000 universal bending machines come equipped with an On-Demand Servo Drive with four-cylinder drive technology. The Servo Drive is highly dynamic, extremely quiet in operation, and delivers significantly more productivity compared to a conventional drive. It is also eco-friendly as it consumes energy only during the bending process. Since precise angles are the most crucial part of bending quality, an assortment of smart features are offered for maximum precision. The TruBend Series 5000 features two innovative angle measuring systems: Automatically Controlled Bending (ACB) takes measurements through sensors integrated into the upper tool, while the ACB Laser system measures the bending angle through a contactless optical process, and is therefore compatible with any tooling. These measuring systems complement one another perfectly.

When bending short sides, reflective surfaces, or when multi-point measurement is required, the established ACB is the obvious solution. The ACB Laser system is especially useful when processing acute and open angles, as well as thick sheet metal. This system projects a laser line onto the sheet and measures the angle with a camera for maximum precision. The entire bending process is facilitated by the Touchpoint TruBend control, an intuitive interface that features exceptionally realistic 3D visualization and a multi-touch screen that responds to the operators touch, even when work gloves are worn. Collision monitoring is also available with the 3D visualization system. The MobileControl Pro can be positioned conveniently along the press beam so the operator can complete the bending process without having to revisit the control. A 3.2 in color display enables them to input all the directions they might need for the bending process while standing directly at the machine, including instructions to switch to the next/previous bending step or to correct the angle and axis positions.

Equipped with the ToolMaster for automatic tool changes in seconds, the TruBend Series 5000 takes advantage of 60 spaces for upper and 48 spaces for lower tools. The ToolMaster accepts standard tooling and takes care of the setup process virtually eliminating search and transit times for operators. While the ToolMaster takes care of tool changes of standard or special Tooling, operators can focus on other work. Another advantage is that the closed Tooling storage protects the Tooling from corrosion.
