With this component we can achieve excellent efficiency for specific applications, such as folding.
Because the machines are equipped with LED lights they don’t allow the generation of heat that’s uncomfortable for the operator.
Machine functions
During this function in a similar way to bending with a sheet metal bending machine the metal sheet is bent by a controlled downward movement by the pressing beam. As a result the flat metal sheet is pressed between the upper tool and the V-shape bottom tool called matrix. Thanks to the back restrictors we can achieve precise detail positioning. Therefore shape changing happens.
When we need to bend sheet metal with a complex shape that involves radial bending and it has short arms or narrow profiles, bending with twisting is an excellent solution. TRUMPF’s machines for bending with twisting have a special device for edge twisting. It includes a C-shape profile where the upper and the bottom bending tool are placed. During the bending process the C-shape profile moves up and down and it makes a small ellipse-shaped twisting movement.
TruBend sheet metal bending machines offer flexibility as they can handle different operations successfully. The sheet metal bending machines from TruBend 3000 series allow us to process details with different widths of the metal sheet.
With the machines from TruBend 3000 series we can manufacture long profiles. They offer a high flexibility level when processing metal sheets with different widths.
The sheet metal bending machines from this series have an ACB Manuell laser which uses a contactless optic system for measuring the angle. A laser projects a line on a metal sheet and a camera records the angle. To do this the front measuring module is manually moved to its designated place and the back measuring module is automatically moved together with the first.
Now we can perform a very easy detail manipulation with support consoles whose height can be adjusted in a step-free way. The metal sheet bending machines from the series have strong consoles that can endure heavy loads.
Now we can easily call programs with the barcode scanning device of the machines.
Thanks to the back restrictor’s 5-axis system we can achieve a high flexibility level because angled restriction is achieved.
TruBend machines offer us the option to choose between different systems. This helps us achieve a high flexibility level when we are using the tightening tools.
Stable construction
As these sheet metal bending machines have a closed frame we can use without limitation the entire bending length.
The bending machines have a back restrictor that positions the planks in a very precise way. We have the option to choose from a 2, 4- or 5-axis back restrictor system.
Perfect angles
As the machines are equipped with a special ACB laser angle measuring system we can achieve excellent results right from the first detail.
The bending machines offer the option for easy detail feeding from below thanks to the Safety Click extra.
As they have a back restrictor these machines offer a correct positioning of the metal sheet.
As a result, we can achieve right bending arm length.
BendGuard
Thanks to thе BendGuard extra sheet metal machines offer maximum speed and complete safety and minimum detail feeding time
Which tools these machines use?
No matter what we want to bend TRUMPF’s bending tools help us in every task. The brand’s sheet metal machines are equipped with a wide range of innovative tools. The users of this brand have the option to order special tools of their choice.
TRUMPF offers sensor tools for direct angle control during the bending process that help us achieve the desired result right from the first detail in given series. Due to its lightweight these tools are practical and easy to use on a daily basis.
TRUMPF offers us a wide range of tools that consist of more than 15- upper and bottom tools that can be individually assorted. Users have also the option to order a set of tools or order certain tools separately.
Sheet metal bending machines are equipped with tools with a length of up to 300 mm. They are usually equipped with a Safety-Click and have a lightweight construction that offers more than 30% less weight. This reduces the amount of work for the operator and reduces the feeding times.
During the processing of zinc-coated metal sheets zinc residue appears on the matrix after just a couple of bendings. The result from this is cold welding that leads to imprints on the detail and defects. These consequences can be prevented by TRUMPF LASERdur ZN bending tools. They help us achieve a very hard surface with excellent sliding characteristics such as high corrosion resistance and resistance to dirt.
Special tool
In the case of user requests, TRUMPF can develop individual sets of tools for their needs. They test the tools in advance together with the special material and make first sample details.
TRUMPF’s sensor tools work with an ACB measuring principle. Sensor discs installed inside the tool measure directly the main zone of the processing. Chargers are used when it comes to U-shaped bendings with large arms –even for ACB sensor tools.
With TRUMPF’s bending tool with special coat we can avoid aluminum or zinc residue when rubbing out a metal sheet. This tool also helps us avoid imprints and defects. LASERdur AL and LASERdur ZN hive high quality coatings that give your tools high level of surface hardness and excellent sliding ability. They are also resistant to corrosion and don’t need cleaning.
Bending with RollBend
With the RollBend tool that has an elastomer layer we can achieve short length of the arms without any tracesand achieve changes in the shapes as well as make holes close to the bending line without getting deformations. With the RollBend tool we can bend without any traces of pressing.
ToolShuttle store offers central bending tools supply for up to two bending machines. We can store up to 160 m of tools on the compact space of 5,9 m2. This saves us time for searching tools and moving them as the tools are located directly on the machine.
This extra offers automatic tool preparation and with the help of a moving table they can be easily moved from the tool store to their feeding position. Another advantage of this store is the special ToolShuttle air dryer which prevents the risk of corrosion for the tools.
