Because intuitive operation and simple offline programming with the TRUMPF TecZone Bend software make even complex sheet metal parts accessible.

Precision counts.

Because the patented angle sensor ACB laser automatically corrects every bend, ensuring high part quality in the long term.

Service counts.

Because fast solutions count in everyday production, technical support, targeted training and high-quality TRUMPF bending tools ensure smooth processes.

Unlimited bending of 3 mm material thickness

Any angle and any bending length are possible, as are excellent folding results and, with minor restrictions, even with 4 mm mild steel – eliminating flexibility problems with changing customer orders, and opening up new areas of business.

Extremely high box height

350 mm on the TruBend Center 7020 and 220 mm on the TruBend Center 7030 enable deep bends for complex components such as electrical cabinets – overcoming application restrictions and opening up lucrative markets such as electrical cabinet construction.

Angle drive technology

The interaction of two axes ensures precise path control and enables exact angles. At the same time, sensitive workpieces are protected and the robust design reduces quality problems and maintenance costs – for reliable results in production.

Special tool solutions

Special tool solutions allow the bending of complex profiles. The UBW90 tool set is ideal for bending 4 mm mild steel over lengths of up to 2.50 m. Extra bending tools and extra blank holder tools enable special bending requirements to be met efficiently, preventing surface quality problems and minimizing reworking.

2-axis part manipulator

Automatic positioning for all bends per component edge with additional height axis enables parts with negative bends to be lifted out – handles narrow profiles, multiple bends and cut-outs with process reliability and reduces manual work.

TecZone Bend

Save time and increase quality during the automatic creation of your programs on the basis of 2D or 3D data.

Software

The software portfolio from TRUMPF optimizes your entire production process – from the customer query through to delivery of the finished part.

ACB laser

The ACB Laser ensures maximum precision and repeatability during bending without any reworking. The optical system detects the exact angle without contact and corrects it in real time. This reduces sources of error and rejects, no matter how complex the component is. Decision-makers benefit from consistently high part quality and lower costs, while operators can rely on an automated, reliable process.

The right program in the blink of an eye

With the 2D code or Bluetooth scanner, the suitable bending program can be loaded in no time at all. This speeds up work preparation, minimizes errors and ensures a smooth production start – even in the case of frequent program changes.

Additional monitor

An additional screen on the control unit enables parallel programming and paperless working directly at the machine. All important information is available at a glance – for efficient and transparent processes. This avoids duplication, media disruptions and loss of information in day-to-day production.

On-Demand Drive

The On-Demand Drive supplies your TruBend Center machine with the exact amount of energy required – it only runs during the bending process, otherwise the hydraulics stand still without consuming any energy. The system works particularly economically, quickly and very quietly – and at the same time ensures low operating costs and a pleasant work environment.

Magnetic/gripper module

The optional magnet or gripper module is part of the 2-axis part manipulator and can reliably handle components where conventional suction cups reach their limits. Even the smallest or most complex shaped parts are handled safely, reducing waste. This maintains process reliability and flexibility in production – independent of the component geometry.

3-surface suction module

The optional 3-surface suction module of the 2-axis manipulator ensures safe, flexible part handling – even with challenging bending geometries and small suction surfaces. The parts are manipulated using one of the 3 available suction surfaces. This ensures maximum process reliability and reduces operating effort and potential sources of error.

Digital connection and integration for smart solutions

The TruBend Center Series 7000 can be seamlessly integrated into existing software landscapes and monitoring tools. Thanks to open interfaces, connections to third-party systems are also possible. This allows you to avoid siloed solutions, maintain an overview of all production processes and react flexibly to new requirements in networked production.

ENW automatic tool clamping

The TruBend Center 7030 ENW automatic tool clamping optimizes the process when changing ENW tools, increases process reliability and boosts the efficiency of the entire automation system. This effectively solves problems caused by manual clamping processes, such as loss of time or operating errors.

UBW90 tool set

With the TruBend Center 7030 UBW90 tool set, even 4 mm thick mild steel can be precisely bent over a length of up to 2.50 m. This makes new applications possible and reliably overcomes restrictions relating to material thickness and length. Restrictions with heavy or large format components are now a thing of the past.

Extra blank holder tool (ENW)

With the extra blank holder tool, you can also produce very narrow profiles or components with deformations close to the bending lines. If necessary, the machine automatically swivels the tools in from above. The existing standard blank holders do not need to be replaced or modified. This avoids restrictions with tight bending contours and frequent tool changes.

Extra bending tool (ZBW)

Additional bending tools can be positioned automatically to bend tabs or offset bends. If required, the tools automatically move from their lateral parking position to the correct location and process the sheet metal.

Horn blank holder

Nestings with inner edges can be produced easily with the horn blank holders. The horn tools extend and retract automatically at an angle. This means that the upper blank holder can move downwards without causing a collision between the tool and the bend. This means that even components with inner edges can be produced collision-free without any problems.

Bending tools

More bending freedom: Benefit from our comprehensive range of bending tools or have special tools created to your requirements. This means that even special customer requirements can be implemented flexibly and economically.

Automatic loading and unloading

Automatic loading and unloading makes the TruBend Center 7030 even more productive. The loading unit picks up the blanks on the loading unit parallel to production and automatically feeds them to the machine. The loading cart ensures the perfect flow: You simply place several blanks on pallets there, and the machine works through them. The machine uses two conveyor belts for unloading, and can either buffer the produced components individually or in sync, depending on the component size. You can also connect a robot for removing parts in an automated way.

Storage connection

You can organize your material handling in line with your requirements with the TruStore 3030 store or a STOPA large-scale storage system. The storage connection is the perfect supplement to the loading and unloading unit of the TruBend Center 7030 panel bender, making you more productive.

Automation solution with Starmatik

With the robot on a movable transverse rail, the TruBend Center can load and bend sheet metal up to three meters in length fully automatically. Unloading can also be completed fully automatically. During this process, the robot can even stack different orders on different pallets. The configuration is tailored to your needs. If required, you can add a storage connection, centering station, gripper and tool change, along with a regripping station and other sheet processing systems. The complete solution can be programmed offline.
