My bending machine and I form a strong team together

Every playmaker needs a partner that helps them to be successful. Every star needs someone to set up a chance. Using a bending machine is sometimes like sport – if the machine passes me the ball, it's easier for me to perform to my best. I get quicker and need less energy. Bending obviously isn't simple. However, it's much easier with a good machine and the right equipment behind you.

This is what colleagues say

"I often have to stand for a long time at the bending machine and lift heavy parts. Over time, this becomes really tiring. Despite this, the parts have to be inserted correctly and precisely. So it's great when you can turn to some additional equipment for help."

"It sometimes takes a long time to write programs. The correct bending sequence may not always be evident immediately. It's therefore good to have a program that can think too and, for example, points out possible collisions. The software should also be fast."

"A machine with convenient handling hits all the right notes for me. Otherwise, bending can really have an impact on the joints, back, and ears."

"Setting up the heavy tools takes a long time and is arduous. A good automatic tool changer makes this a whole lot easier. Add a programming system that creates appropriate setup plans on top of this, and setup is child's play."

The best team cannot be successful without a leader – and without operators, even the greatest bending machine cannot deliver results

You are in charge – if you are on form, the machine can help you perform. A well-designed machine will help you stay on top. Be in a league of your own when it comes to bending – be on top form with bending machines from TRUMPF.

Programming made easy

The TRUMPF software calculates your bending programs automatically and within a few seconds – including real-time collision checks, dismantling of assemblies, and management of setup plans. You can optionally program at the machine or in the workshop at the PC.

Support when transporting tools

Carrying tools is tiring. A day at work can be really long when you are doing this, particularly if you produce small lot sizes and repeatedly have to retool the machine. The automatic tool changer from TRUMPF comes to the rescue – it provides the machine with tools quickly and ergonomically. The time you require for searching and transit is eliminated due to the hydraulic tool clamp, even in the case of thin tools.

Little helpers for smart bending specialists

Do you need to calculate the press force, side length, or die width? The TRUMPF BendGuide app manages this for you simply and clearly. There are also handy gadgets on the machine – in a rail on the press beam, there is a movable operating unit with the most important functions. This allows you to adjust the machine directly without constantly having to run to and from the control panel.

Keep your health in top form

Do you have to process heavy and large parts? The handy TRUMPF bending aids make your work easier at angles up to 30°. It is also possible to adjust their height automatically. Is the noise hard on your ears? Not with our drive – the on-demand servo drive is extremely quiet and, at 220 mm/s, also extremely fast.

Fewer rejects means less overtime

With the highly accurate angle measuring systems from TRUMPF, you can very quickly and precisely determine the angle. This ensures that even the first part is a finished part. Springback and sheet thickness can be taken into account automatically.

Make every part a success!
