TRUMPF

October 5, 2009

TRUMPF will showcase the latest generation of its TruPunch 5000.

This machine has increased speed over previous models and features the new active die option, which nearly eliminates scratches during processing. With the active die, each time the sheet is positioned, the die is lowered slightly so that it does not contact the sheet.

The movable die also expands the forming possibilities of the machine since the total distance between the table and punch can be used. In addition, the active forming stroke from below the sheet increases the machine’s flexibility because larger tools may now be used; even marking from underneath is possible.

The machine can be automated modularly with a variety of components, such as the SheetMaster and a cart system with belt drive or tracks, for the automatic loading and unloading of sheets, as well as the GripMaster, which removes and stacks scrap skeletons.
