TRUMPF TruBend Center 7020 automatic panel bender processes tall, thick, complex parts
- February 13, 2023
- Product Release
- Bending and Forming
TRUMPF has unveiled a new, fully automatic panel bending machine for the North American market. Designed to process complex parts, the new TruBend Center 7020 can bend parts with side lengths of up to 13.8 in. in material thicknesses up to 0.15-in. aluminum, 0.12-in. steel, and 0.08-in. stainless steel, extending over the entire bending length.
According to the manufacturer, the bender works up to 80% faster than a manual press brake, depending on the specific part and bending operations involved. A new rotary part manipulator can move the part closer to the bending line, helping to reduce cycle time by eliminating the need to reposition the grippers during processing. Workers can load/unload the bender from the side without having to lean into the interior, which also saves time.
The ToolMaster system helps ensure that the blank holder tools, which hold the part in place during the bending process, are correctly matched to each workpiece, helping to reduce setup time.
