Show a sharp edge

– even though parts and tasks change daily

Different parts, varying lot sizes, and tight deadlines are all part of everyday manufacturing. The TruBend Series 3000 is an all-around machine designed specifically for this purpose. With premium features such as the ACB Laser angle measuring system, TouchPoint control, and the 5-axis backgauge, you can produce precise parts right from the start, set up new orders quickly and intuitively, and remain flexible even when working with different components. The comprehensive standard configuration already makes everyday life easier today and provides the flexibility needed for the more demanding tasks of tomorrow.

What sets the TruBend Series 3000 apart

– Its special features at a glance
Precise from the very first part - thanks to automatic angle correction
Precise from the very first part - thanks to automatic angle correction

The ACB Laser angle measuring system takes non-contact measurements of the bending angle directly on the component and automatically corrects deviations. This allows you to achieve angular accuracy of up to ±0.3° or better, even when material properties vary. This ensures precise results from the very first part and reduces rejects and rework.
More machine time for bending - thanks to offline programming
More machine time for bending - thanks to offline programming

With TecZone Bend, you can program new orders offline in the office instead of using valuable machine time for this task. The machine thus does not become an expensive desk: The software automatically generates a proposal for the bending sequence and tools based on 2D or 3D data and checks it for potential collisions. The next order is ready as soon as the current one is finished.
Greater control when working with heavy sheet metal thanks to a bending aid
Greater control when working with heavy sheet metal thanks to a bending aid

If workpieces are large, heavy, or bulky, the bending aid provides support directly on the component. It can carry parts weighing up to 150 kg and automatically adjusts to the tool height. This reduces the operator's workload, makes it easier to guide the sheet metal precisely, and ensures greater stability, even when processing thin sheets with long flanges.
Get the finished part faster with a leading control
Get the finished part faster with a leading control

The TouchPoint control displays the 3D views of the component for the current work step making every step easy to understand. With multi-touch, you can even operate the machine while wearing gloves. This will help you get the hang of it quickly and work your way through the entire bending process intuitively.
Bending tall box heights through large installation heights
Bending tall box heights through large installation heights

Tall box heights and complex parts require space: With a usable installation height of 615 mm, the TruBend Series 3000 offers the necessary clearance to bend even tall boxes safely. The standard tools can remain mounted - there is no need to switch to special tools.

Everything you need to get through each day

– because the right equipment makes all the difference

You decide which features your manufacturing process needs. TRUMPF provides the right equipment. Standard and optional features assist with programming, set up, operation, part quality, ergonomics, safety, and drives. They speed up processes, reduce errors, and ensure the machine runs smoothly.

Creates bending programs from 2D or 3D data at your desk or at a separate workstation while the machine continues to produce. This ensures that no valuable production time is lost when programming the next parts.

Allows new jobs to be programmed directly on the machine without requiring the operator to use a separate CAD workstation. This makes it possible to even fulfill last-minute orders quickly.

Hydraulically secures the lower tools at the push of a button with consistent clamping force. This saves time, especially when tools need to be changed frequently during small series production.

Secures the upper tools with Allen screws. This is worthwhile when tools are changed infrequently, such as during long-running profile jobs.

Hydraulically secures the upper tools at the push of a button with consistent clamping force. This saves time, especially when tools need to be changed frequently during small series production.

Plans the setup plan across multiple orders. This allows many parts to be manufactured in a single clamping. This reduces the number of setup operations and increases the machine utilization rate.

Intuitively guides the operator through the programming and bending process on the touchscreen, supported by 3D graphics of the part and machine. This helps new employees get up to speed quickly, thus shortening the onboarding process.

Allows the parallel display of drawings, documents, or software applications on an additional monitor. This makes programming and operation directly on the machine easier.

Automatically loads the appropriate bending program by scanning a data matrix or bar code. This reduces the time spent searching and prevents mix-ups with similar parts.

The crowning automatically compensates for the deformations of press beams and tables. This reduces the amount of adjustment work required and ensures consistent bending angles across different materials and sheet thicknesses.

Makes it easier to position components with different geometries, such as narrow profiles or nesting. The stop fingers automatically adjust to the part geometry and bending position and support the sheet metal where it rests securely. This allows parts to be marked out with consistent accuracy and be aligned with less manual effort.

Makes it easier to position complex geometries, such as slanted or trapezoidal workpieces. In addition, the 5-axis backgauge allows for lateral stopping or clamping, for example when manufacturing tabs. This allows components with non-parallel edges to be securely clamped and bent with dimensional accuracy.

Takes non-contact measurements of the bending angle directly on the component and automatically corrects material deviations. This ensures that the angle fits perfectly from the first part, even with variations in the material batch or sheet thickness.

Supports heavy or large sheet metal parts during loading and positioning in front of the machine. This makes it easier to feed the material in an orderly manner and reduces the operator's workload.

Helps guide heavy or bulky parts during the bending process. This allows even large workpieces to be handled safely and ergonomically by a single person.

Provides even lighting throughout the entire working area. This allows the operator to reliably identify contours, tools, and positions even under changing lighting conditions.

Monitors the danger zone with a light field and stops the machine immediately if the operator enters the light field. When changing tools, the monitored area can be manually adjusted to the new tool height.

Secure the rear and sides of the machine against unintended access using mechanical sliding doors, side-hinged safety doors, or a motorized roller gate depending on the model or series. In this way, they meet the requirements of the safety regulations and protect operators and others.

Only delivers driving power when it is actually needed. This reduces power input and noise levels during continuous operation.

Distributes the press force more evenly across the press beam instead of applying it at just a few points – this feature is exclusive to TRUMPF. As a result, the press beam barely deforms under the load, so that the bending angle remains constant along its entire length, and less crowning is required.

Tools that fit into the system

– tailored to the machine, software, and bending process

TRUMPF bending tools are not only tailored to the machine and software, but are also digitally integrated into them. Stored tool data makes programming and set up easier for you. Laser-hardened surfaces ensure the tools are durable and help maintain consistent part quality. We will provide you with the right tool for your application, either from our standard product line or as a custom-made product. You can order or request both of these 24/7 through the MyTRUMPF E-Shop.

ALL TOOLS
Standard tools
Standard tools

For recurring bending tasks, TRUMPF offers an exceptionally broad portfolio of standard tools, many of which are available in a variety of common designs on short notice. This also includes specially developed solutions for specific requirements, such as dies with wear-resistant inserts or tools for mark-free bending. This will ensure you can find a solution even for bending tasks for which other suppliers do not offer comparable tools in their standard product range. At the same time, the tool data is stored digitally in the machine and software, thus simplifying programming and set up.
Special tools
Special tools

If standard tools are not sufficient for your bending part, we will develop the appropriate special tool and provide the tool data for the machine and programming at the same time. Upon request, we can test the tool in advance directly on your sheet metal, thus taking specific material properties into account.

Bending tools with a lightweight design
Bending tools with a lightweight design

When manual tool changes are frequent, lightweight bending tools reduce the operator's workload and make set up easier. They weigh more than 30% less than standard upper tools, but offer the same load capacity and precision. For tool lengths up to 300 mm, the Safety-Click mechanism further simplifies assembly and reduces setup time.
ZN coating
ZN coating

When bending aluminum or galvanized sheet metal, material debris can accumulate on the tool and cause marks on subsequent parts. The LASERdur AL coating for aluminum and the LASERdur ZN coating for galvanized sheet metal protect against such buildup and ensure good sliding properties. This reduces indentations and ensures consistently accurate bending results. In addition, the coated tools are corrosion-resistant and do not need to be cleaned.
Sensor tools
Sensor tools

When high angular accuracy is required, sensor tools take measurements directly during the bending process and automatically correct deviations. With an angular accuracy of ±0.3°, they are particularly well-suited for precision bending and small flanges, where optical measurement reaches its limits. This reduces rework and rejects, which is particularly beneficial during series production.
CDW bending tools
CDW bending tools

TRUMPF has developed the CDW (Consistent Die Width) standard die series for short flanges, delicate surfaces, and frequently changing bending operations. The special die geometry, with rounded entry radii, allows flanges to be up to 25% shorter and facilitates angle measurement with angle sensor ACB. At the same time, the sheet metal slides into the die more easily. This reduces marks and protects the bending film. Consistent die widths also make it possible to combine different CDW lower tools during setup, thus reducing tool changes and setup times.

The TruBend Series 3000 in action

– perfect for typical tasks involving a mix of parts

Whether profiles, boxes, covers, or functional components: These application examples show how the TruBend 3000 reliably handles typical bending tasks with a mix of parts.

Bending sliding plates for support rail cleaners

Bending sliding plates for support rail cleaners

The sliding plate of a support rail cleaner requires several tools and tool positions. To ensure that the component is produced without defects, the operator must correctly assign each bending step and position the part precisely at each station.

The TouchPoint control displays the required tool and component positions for each work step. This allows the operator to immediately see what the next step is, position the part securely, and produce even complex profile parts without errors.

Bending corners to exact specifications for covers

Bending corners to exact specifications for covers

A cover for a hydraulic cabinet must fit exactly and have precise outside dimensions. Even on the very first bend, the rolling direction, material batch, or sheet thickness can affect the angle and result in inaccurate corners.

ACB Laser takes non-contact measurements of the bending angle directly on the component and automatically corrects deviations. When used in combination with TruTops Boost, it produces precise bending programs and consistent results for closed corners and dimensionally accurate covers.

Bending gripper covers with open angles

Bending gripper covers with open angles

The cover for a moving gripper component requires open angles greater than 90°. To ensure that the cover is manufactured to fit perfectly, the bending angle and component position must be exactly correct at every bending step

ACB Laser ensures precise bending angles, even with open bends. The 5-axis backgauge ensures that the part is aligned precisely during each bending step. This ensures that the covers are produced with consistent quality.

Bending small functional components such as sensor holders

Bending small functional components such as sensor holders

A holder for an optical sensor must be manufactured with precision, even for small lot sizes. Angular accuracy and repeatable stop positions are crucial for ensuring that even the first part fits and that production remains cost-effective.

ACB Laser measures the bending angle directly on the component and automatically compensates for deviations. This allows you to achieve the required angular accuracy right from the first part and to manufacture sensor holders cost-effectively, even in small lot sizes. For small series where quick tool changes are required, the hydraulic tool clamp and the Safety-Click system are also helpful. It holds upper tools securely in place during a tool change, allowing them to be easily attached and then locked into position.
