Blechexpo: TRUMPF's Fastest Mobile Bending Cell now Even More Flexible

Ditzingen, October 7, 2025 – At Blechexpo in Stuttgart, TRUMPF is showcasing its Flex Cell mobile bending cell in combination with its proven TecZone Bend programming software. The Flex Cell is the high-tech company's fastest mobile bending cell. Users can connect it to the highly productive TruBend 7050 bending machine in just a few simple steps and then let the bending machine work automatically. What's groundbreaking about this is that the addition of TecZone Bend software reduces the programming effort for the bending machine and the robot to a matter of seconds, making automation worthwhile even for new components with very small batch sizes. In addition, the bending cell can be programmed “offline” with TecZone Bend, for example from the office. Meanwhile, the mobile bending cell can continue to produce parts. This further increases productivity. TRUMPF Product Manager Wolfgang Radler: “With TecZone Bend, the Flex Cell is not only the fastest, but also the most flexible mobile bending cell from TRUMPF. Thanks to the software, users can quickly and easily use it for all kinds of components – without any loss of productivity or time-consuming programming.” In addition, the previous limitation to four bends has been completely eliminated. This means that the Flex Cell is now also suitable for complex components and assemblies.

Software programs the bending machine and robot in a single step

With most mobile bending cells on the market, users have to program the bending machine and the robot separately. This is complex and time-consuming. With the Flex Cell with TecZone Bend, the software creates both programs automatically and simultaneously – including real-time collision monitoring. Users simply upload the CAD data for their component to the software and let the program create it automatically. What’s more, even employees without deeper programming knowledge can set up the Flex Cell.

Efficient even with small quantities

The Flex Cell itself is suitable for components with a format of up to 600 x 400 millimeters and processes sheet thicknesses of up to six millimeters. In combination with the TruBend 7050, the machine is suitable for all companies that want to increase their productivity through automation or are suffering from a shortage of skilled workers. Companies with fluctuating order volumes that manufacture small and simple components now also benefit significantly. They can use the solution to cope with order peaks by having the mobile bending cell automatically take on additional shifts. TRUMPF is presenting the Flex Cell with TecZone Bend at BlechExpo – and some older models of the Flex Cell can also be retrofitted with the software.
