Bending sheet metal with 1,000 tons of press force precisely to 0.3°? TruBend machines make it possible. This page shows fascinating facts and illustrates what you can bend under optimum conditions.

Work preparation Be better prepared for bending Change tools more quickly Produce precisely Programming is essential when it comes to bending. Programs such as TecZone Bend simulate the bends in 3D and automatically check feasibility. This decreases the mental effort you need to put in, saves time and avoids rejects. Setup is a part of bending. It is faster and easier with the automatic tool changer, tools with a lightweight design, and automatically prepared and optimized setup plans. It all depends on the angles. Whether you bend manually or automatically – intelligent functions ensure precision...

The benefits for you – Part variety Producing the complete spectrum of products Whether you are bending delicate or oversized parts: use the widest machine range on the market to meet your various requirements – simply and without compromise. Any component geometry Regardless of whether it’s thick, thin, large or small parts – with bending machines from TRUMPF you can produce an enormous part variety. Due to the large range of TruBend machine variants, you can process any component geometry cost-efficiently and in top quality. You benefit from: various tonnages and bending lengths a large material...

Part variety – The benefits for you Through thick and thin Does the sheet thickness vary from batch to batch? No problem – the Thickness Controlled Bending (TCB) function automatically compensates for variations. Sensors detect the actual thickness of each sheet and adjust the pressing depth of the upper tool accordingly. This means that you can achieve precise angles regardless of the sheet thickness – without loss of productivity, calibration and programming effort.

Precise angles from the very first part Perfect angles are what really counts when it comes to part quality during bending. If they are right from the very first part, you prevent rejects and don’t waste material or time. You have to be able to rely on your parts being identical in series production – you don’t want to have to measure every angle again at the end. This isn’t necessary with a TruBend machine, because it offers you valuable additional benefits. Precise angles right away Numerous factors influence angle precision when bending, for example fluctuating strengths in the material or...

Reducing setup times all round From machine functions and tools to the software components – reduce your setup times to a minimum. You can achieve this with the aid of our unique overall concept. Read more about some of its components on this spread

Lightweight bending tools: 30% less weight Tool Setup Optimizer: Optimizing the setup process With the Safety-Click safety mechanism you can change the upper tools from TRUMPF quickly and safely. The operator simply clamps the tool into and out of the machine clamp from below. Patented lightweight bending tools from TRUMPF weigh around 30% less than conventional upper tools but are just as durable and resilient. This means that the operator doesn’t have to lift such heavy loads and can set up more quickly. You can save even more time now thanks to the Tool Setup Optimizer: While TecZone Bend...

Bending is team work The team made up of human and machine is critical to success during bending. If the operator is at ease, the machine can deliver its full potential. A bending machine from TRUMPF therefore does everything it can to make the operator’s work easier. From the quiet drive to the optimal illumination and customizable screen to smart highlights: Simple operation and ergonomic design ensure more fun when bending and more physical relief for the bending specialist. A few example

MobileControl: For less time spent moving about The smart helpers MobileControl and MobileControl Pro ensure that you spend less time moving around. As movable operating units in a rail on the press beam, they include the most important functions, meaning that you can change the machine para meters in an instant – without constantly having to go to the control panel. Bending aid: Lift sheet metal easily Wireless foot switch: For safe operation Over time, bending large and heavy parts has a negative impact on the health of even the strongest operators. The bending aid from TRUMPF prevents the...
