Precision and flexibility

TruBend Series 8000, ACB Wireless angle measuring system
ACB Wireless angle measuring system

Sensor disks integrated in the upper tool measure and correct every angle. The user-friendly ACB (Automatically Controlled Bending) wireless system automatically detects the sensor position, facilitating wireless communication between the tool and control.

TruBend Series 8000 Heavy-Duty
ACB laser angle measuring system

ACB Laser is an optical system for angle measurement. Without requiring any contact, the laser projects a line onto the sheet, and a camera detects the angle. For this, two measuring units move automatically to the right position.

Backgauge on the TruBend Series 8000
Backgauges

Up to 6 CNC-controlled backgauge axes position your workpieces accurately and safely. Optionally, they are also available in a particularly robust heavy-duty version.

Crowning on the TruBend Series 8000
Crowning

Automatic crowning works precisely down to the last detail. At a distance of 250 millimetres, you can adjust the crowning curve precisely to your bending task as required. The crowning has a load capacity of up to 6,000 kN/m.

TruBend Series 8000 with lower tool displacement
Lower tool displacement

The lower tool displacement enables you to perform two bending operations with one tool. Specifically, this means that you can increase your part variety, while cutting setup time and investment costs. In addition, special applications such as folding can also be performed effectively with the lower tool displacement.

Energy efficiency

On-Demand Drive

Selecting the optional On-Demand Drive for the new TruBend Series 8000 results in long-term benefits. The revolution speed of the motor is automatically adapted to the movement of the press beam. This achieves energy savings of up to 26% while maintaining extremely quiet bending.

Tool Indicator with status display

Setup with luminous display – the LED bar in the upper tool clamp clearly indicates the precise locations where the tool stations should be set up. It also provides a visual display of the current machine status and indicates which tool station will be used for the next bend. The illuminated signs reduce unnecessary trips to the control panel.

Bending line laser

The bending line laser allows you to accurately align the parts for bending. For this purpose, the system projects a laser line onto the sheet metal, which serves as a visual aid for the operator during bending. The main benefits of this are reduced rejects and increased productivity. The bending line laser also enables bending on a scribed line, i.e. bending without the support of the backgauge system for extra working space.

ToolShuttle
Tool magazine

ToolShuttle, the practical tool magazine, stands directly next to your TruBend Series 8000 machine. During setup, tools are simply slid in and out of the machine, something that is particularly useful for heavy tools, saving time. The ToolShuttle has space for nearly 60 m of tools and ensures everything is organised.

Standard tools

You can choose between more than 150 upper and lower tool types for your personal range. You can order tools individually or as a set.

ZN tools

During the processing of galvanised sheets, even after just a few bends, there may be zinc deposits on the die, resulting in cold welding. This can lead to imprints on the component and imprecision. This can be avoided with the TRUMPF LASERdur ZN bending tools. These combine a high level of surface hardness with excellent sliding properties, are corrosion resistant and do not need to be cleaned.

Special tool

For specific requirements, TRUMPF will develop your own personal tool solutions. To guarantee the quality of your parts, we test the tools in advance with your specific material and create initial sample parts.

Automation solution with Starmatik

With the robot on a movable transverse rail, the TruBend 8000 can bend sheets up to eight metres in length with a maximum weight of 220 kilograms fully automatically. 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 processes, such as joining or thermoforming. The entire solution can be programmed offline.
