Hannover / Ditzingen, September 26, 2022 – This year’s EuroBLECH will see TRUMPF launch a new and attractively priced machine for companies entering the metal-bending market. Featuring the new Right Angle (RA) control system, the TruBend 1000 is extremely easy to program and ships equipped with TRUMPF’s proven tech data for metal bending. Operation is similarly straightforward – thanks to the user-friendly interface. “Like all new 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 our high-end models but come with a much lower price tag. We will now be providing even more solutions to help companies grow and manufacture competitively,” says Stephan Mayer, chief executive officer for machine tools at TRUMPF. A variety of machine types are on offer, with press forces ranging from 60 to 320 metric tons and bending edges from 2 to 4 meters. It can therefore be used to produce a broad spectrum of bending parts. The most favorably priced model – the Classic – costs around two-thirds less than the TruBend 5000 and therefore offers an attractive alternative for customers who might otherwise purchase from manufacturers outside Europe.
