Trumpf has introduced a press brake for companies entering the metal bending market. Featuring the new Right Angle (RA) control system, the TruBend 1000 is easy to programme. Operation is similarly straightforward due to the user-friendly interface. The TruBend 1000 is available with press forces ranging from 60 to 320 tons and bending edges from 2m to 4m. It can be used to produce a broad spectrum of parts.

Like all entry-level machines from Trumpf, the TruBend 1000 is precisely tailored to the needs of companies looking to break into metal bending. The machines are every bit as robust and reliable as Trumpf’s high-end models, but at a much lower price tag. Trumpf can now provide even more solutions to help companies grow and manufacture competitively.

TruBend 1000 Series customers benefit from the latest digital technology and Trumpf services. If any questions or issues arise, Trumpf technicians can connect with the machine online and provide customers with remote support. The TruBend 1000 has features designed to meet the needs of companies getting started in metal bending. The press brake comes with the Trumpf tooling clamp and is compatible with Trumpf bending tools. In addition, users have access to a demo version of Trumpf’s offline programming software TecZone Bend. This means the machine can be programmed from the office while in full operation to increase productivity even more.

The TruBend 1000 is suitable for all companies that manufacture simple and semi-complex parts in small to medium batch sizes. This model comes with the Trumpf tool system and is suitable for small batch sizes, as tool changes can be done quickly. The press brake is suited for smaller companies or contract manufacturers operating in single shifts.

The TruBend 1000 has features designed to meet the needs of companies starting up in the metal-bending market. The Classic model, for example, is equipped with the clamping system widely used in this customer segment. This means that customers can readily use any bending tools they may already have. The Comfort model comes with the proven Trumpf clamp and is therefore compatible with Trumpf bending tools. In addition, users have access to a demo version of Trumps’s offline programming software TecZone Bend. This means the machine can be programmed from the office while in full operation, thereby increasing productivity even more.
