Fastest CNC punch press offers simple
automation
As well as laying claim to be one of the world's fastest punching machines, CNC punch press system features 'twin-cart' load/unload systems resulting in a very compact automated set-up.
With up to 1,200 strokes per minute during punching operations and 2,800 strokes per minute when inscribing, the Trumatic 5000 R is one of the fastest punching machines in the world At the EuroBLECH trade show, Trumpf introduced many of the machines new functions that will make the automated operation and production considerably easier

Two laser heads are three times better than one
In theory a twin-head laser profiler produces double the output of a 'normal' single-head machine.
Except in this case, it is around three times as productive!
Adaptive stroke calibration - finished part with the first stamp - when it comes to stamping and forming, fluctuations in sheet thickness have a huge impact.
Now, Trumpf has a simple solution - adaptive stroke calibration.
It garantuees, also in large-scale or recurring series with small batch sizes, a consistent parts quality.

Trumpf to show fastest CNC punching machine
Trumpf will be holding their annual In Tech 2001 Open House event at their premises in Luton on 14th, 15th, 16th, 19th, 20th and 21st March.
Once its recorded the finished part can now be reproduced at any time, using the same tool.
Parts can even be produced on a different machine as long as this machine has the adaptive stroke calibration feature.
With this newly patented function, the actual thickness of the sheet metal clamped onto the machine can be recorded with an accuracy of 0.03mm and the slide stroke precisely calibrated to the current sheet thickness.
Fluctuations in sheet thickness are therefore automatically compensated for.
The user has the option of making the adjustments manually as often and wherever the tool records the sheet thickness.
Measuring takes only three seconds.
The new accessory is available for new machines of the Trumatic 5000 R, Trumatic 3000 R and Trumatic 3000 L series.
Twin carts: simple automation - to load and unload sheets and finished parts parallel to the uptime, users can additionally equip their punching machines with the Trumalift SheetMaster with twin carts.
TwinCarts are an alternative to the double cart that moves on tracks.
Instead of moving on tracks, TwinCarts move on fixed guides mounted directly into the floor.
It is therefore unnecessary to install and cast running rails.
The guides come in two fixed lengths ? either 5 m for medium-sized systems or 6.5m for large-scale systems.
Since the engines for the TwinCarts are installed at the end of the guides and not, as had been the case, on the double cart itself.
It is also unnecessary to lay and install flexible cable conduits.
The drive train is made up of a shaft and toothed belts.
Since its easy to assemble the guides, TwinCarts costs are considerably lower than for the double carts, and they can generally be assembled in one to two days.
The TwinCarts are a cost-effective alternative to the individually adjustable double-cart system. Request a free brochure from Trumpf ...
