Faster panel bending of thin sheets

– without marks on visible surfaces

Thin sheet parts up to 4 mm thick with numerous bends, deep boxes, or delicate visible surfaces pose special manufacturing challenges. This is exactly where the TruBend Center really shines: During panel bending, the component remains flat on the work table while the bending beam swings up or down to shape the sheet metal. The machine automatically rotates and positions the part between bends. This allows even complex parts with many bends to be produced fully automated during a single process. This reduces parts handling and protects sensitive surfaces. At the same time, you can produce parts up to three times faster than with die bending.

What sets the TruBend Center Series 7000 apart

– Its special features at a glance
Precisely bend more geometries on boxes, radii, and negative bends
Precisely bend more geometries on boxes, radii, and negative bends

With its versatile tools, the TruBend Center Series 7000 produces complex thin sheet parts with numerous bends, tall boxes, large radii, and delicate surfaces. Even multiple negative bends can be implemented efficiently. With box heights of up to 350 mm and sheet thicknesses of up to 4 mm, the machine can handle a wide range of parts. This allows you to manufacture different customer orders on a machine and expand your product range to include new components.

Fewer manual movements because the machine positions the sheet metal automatically
Fewer manual movements because the machine positions the sheet metal automatically

During panel bending, the operator does not need to turn any components manually. The machine handles this and produces parts up to three times faster than a press brake machine. Positive and negative bends, radii, and folds are created in a single process, which is especially helpful for large parts or those with many edges.

Bending visible surfaces mark-free even when working with stainless steel and coated sheet metals
Bending visible surfaces mark-free even when working with stainless steel and coated sheet metals

During panel bending, bland holder tools secure the sheet metal horizontally in the machine. The tool that is used shapes it in a swivel movement up or down, always guiding it by the same point with just a single point of contact on the outer edge. This creates radii and edges mark-free, for example, on stainless steel, coated sheet metals, and visible housing surfaces.

TecZone Bend generates a suggested bending program from 2D or 3D data in seconds, whether in the office or directly at the machine. You can amend it at any time, for example, if you want to use different tools, manipulators, or gripping points. Real-time collision checks immediately show how changes affect the bending process. without the need for recalculation. This shortens the run-in period and makes it easier to automate production, especially for small lot sizes.

Less set up time, faster bending thanks to the factory-installed tool set
Less set up time, faster bending thanks to the factory-installed tool set

Each machine comes with a complete tool set of blank holders and bending tools as standard. This means the TruBend Center Series 7000 can produce a wide range of parts right from the start. If necessary, swing-in blank holders and extra bending tools expand the range of applications, for example, for narrow profiles, inner edges, tabs, and offset bends.

Step-by-step automation through to the Smart Factory
Step-by-step automation through to the Smart Factory

The TruBend Center can be flexibly expanded to suit specific production needs, ranging from manual loading to automatic loading and unloading, and even storage connection. Production is thus gradually evolving toward the Smart Factory through various degrees of automation.

Reliable from the very first angle, even with varying sheet thicknesses
Reliable from the very first angle, even with varying sheet thicknesses

ACB Laser takes non-contact measurements of the bending angle directly on the component and automatically compensates deviations. If the actual and required angles do not match, the machine automatically adjusts the bending operation. This ensures that parts remain precise even when the sheet thickness varies, achieving an angular accuracy of ±0.5°. This reduces rejects and rework and ensures that even the first part fits.

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, operation, bending tools, parts handling, part quality, 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.

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.

Allows for additional part geometries, such as narrow profiles or tight inside bends, without having to change standard blank holders. For this purpose, additional blank holder tools automatically move from their parking position into the bending area as needed and secure the sheet metal.

Expands panel bending capabilities by adding extra bending tools in shorter lengths. This allows interrupted bends or tabs to be bent precisely along a specific section.

Wechselt die Standard-Niederhalterwerkzeuge automatisch für den nächsten Auftrag. Dafür verschiebt die Maschine einzelne Werkzeugsegmente, damit die Gesamtlänge zum Bauteil passt. So lassen sich unterschiedliche Aufträge ohne großen Rüstaufwand nacheinander fertigen, da der manuelle Werkzeugwechsel entfällt.

Automatically positions and rotates the sheet metal for multi-sided bends. TruBend Center thus performs all bending operations fully automatically after the workpiece is loaded, without requiring any operator intervention.

Expands automatic part manipulation with additional movement options. When used in combination with the rotary part manipulator, this allows for the flexible production of very narrow profiles, large-radius bends, and parts with center cutouts.

Supports the component throughout the entire machining process and makes it easier to move and position. The brush support is gentle on delicate surfaces and protects them from scratches and damage.

Makes it easier to move and position the component, especially when dealing with larger or heavier sheets of metal. The ball roller support holds the workpiece in place throughout the entire machining process without damaging its surface.

Positions the component accurately for the first bend and also for subsequent bending steps, if required. The integrated stop sensor system detects whether the workpiece is positioned correctly, thus helping to provide dimensionally accurate bending results. The additional traverse path of the stop fingers also allows work to be completed in stages.

Allows the operator to measure the bending angle with a camera when running in new components, without having to remove the part from the machine. This makes it possible to immediately identify discrepancies and correct them manually. This ensures more precise angles right from the very first part and reduces rework and rejects.

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.

Moves the bending tools via a robust, patented wedge drive with a profiled rail guide. This also enables the machine to apply high forces to the part precisely and machine mild steel up to 4 mm thick. At the same time, the compact design takes up less space than comparable solutions on the market.

The machine specifically preloads the blank holder tools, so that crowning compensates for the horizontal forces applied during the bending process. Long bends thus remain consistently precise.

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

The TruBend Center in action

– when complex bends are created automatically

Whether radii, boxes, visible parts, or bend changes: These application examples show where the TruBend Center really shines in the panel bending sector.

Bending cover flaps without a special tool

Bending cover flaps without a special tool

For hinged cover flaps or those with tight radii, the aim is to achieve clean curves without having to purchase additional special tools.

The TruBend Center creates radii using standard tools. During this process, the manipulators guide the sheet metal in a controlled manner, while the bending tools create individual bends at short intervals. This creates smooth curves without visible step transitions or the need for additional special tools.

Manufacturing drawers with visible surfaces

Manufacturing drawers with visible surfaces

Drawers made of thin sheet are commonly used in the furniture industry and feature many bends and visible surfaces. Manually rotating and turning takes time, puts a strain on operators, and increases the risk of scratches or marks on the part.

During panel bending, the sheet metal remains horizontal in the machine. The part manipulator automatically rotates and positions the component. This produces drawers quickly, precisely, and with minimal marks and significantly less manual handling.

Bending containers with large radii

Bending containers with large radii

For containers with large or varying radii, the curves must be uniform, and the shape and fit of the component must be maintained. At the same time, visible steps should be avoided without having to use special tools.

The TruBend Center can also produce large radii using standard tools. During this process, the manipulators guide and position the sheet metal so that the individual bends can be made at precise intervals. This creates smooth curves without visible step transitions and without the need for special tools.

Automated manufacturing of server racks with multiple bends

Automated manufacturing of server racks with multiple bends

Server racks consist of enclosures, doors, lids, and covers with many folded edges, louvers, and openings. As mass-produced items, they must be manufactured cost-effectively, without many bends requiring additional steps.

The TruBend Center automatically loads blank holders and offers automation options, including system interlinking. The part manipulator rotates the component as it is bent upwards and downwards. This eliminates the need for manual turning, and the system operates at a high production rate.

Bending visible surfaces on brochure holders with minimal indentations

Bending visible surfaces on brochure holders with minimal indentations

A brochure holder must meet high design and finish requirements. Large radii must have a clean appearance; the thin sheet must not show any scratches or edge marks, and the radius should be formed without the use of a special radius tool.

The TruBend Center can also produce large radii using standard tools. During this process, the manipulators guide and position the sheet metal so that the individual bends can be made at precise intervals. This creates smooth curves without visible step transitions and without the need for special tools.

Get more from your production

– From the individual machine to networked production

Efficient production does not end at the bending machine. With automation and software solutions, you can streamline processes wherever it makes sense for your production: directly at the machine, in combination with several machines, or throughout the entire manufacturing process. This makes it possible to reduce manual work steps, coordinate processes more effectively, and organize machines, warehouses, and the material flow in a seamless manner.
