Cutting-Edge Press Brake Machine Bends Parts Consistently, Safely and Quickly

TRUMPF's TruBend machines have a global reputation for high productivity of quality finished parts according to the company. The 5130 model press brake recently acquired by ATACO Steel Products Corporation not only delivers more accurate repeatability, it improves safety and turnaround times as well.

Other features include:

• Widest possible machine range accommodates any component geometry.
• 6-axis backgauge systems ensure precise positioning.
• Thickness Controlled Bending function compensates for variations in sheet thickness.
• Automatic tool clamping & automatic bend guards reduce setup time.
• ACB Laser automatic angle measuring system records in real-time for fast, precise bends.
• Part Indicator simplifies insertion process & reduces rejects.
• Higher axis and working speeds (upgraded from standard model)
• Touchpoint TruBend interface is as simple and intuitive as using a tablet.
• TecZone Bend programming software automatically generates programs based on input data.
• On-Demand Servo Drive improves efficiency by only running hydraulics during the bending process. Servo drive also supports hydraulics when pressing large depths.

Brian Petrowsky, Senior Manufacturing Engineer and Maintenance Manager at ATACO, keeps a close eye on the used equipment market. He sees plenty of press brakes made by other manufacturers turning up for sale all the time, but rarely TRUMPF machines. Investing in a top-of-its-class press brake aligns with ATACO's commitment to technological advancement and efficiency, and results in better part costs for their customers.

Improved Safety & Consistency

As Petrowsky puts it, "Safety is #1 around here." The TruBend 5130 has automatic laser light curtains at the ends of the brake that adjust automatically, giving a huge boost to operator safety.

According to Petrowsky, additional benefits include:

• Repeatability. Repeatability. Repeatability. Increased accuracy and consistency in production is everything. The TruBend 5130 measures the angle of the part while bending, eliminating the need to stop and re-measure to make sure it's within tolerance.



• Faster turnaround times. Quicker production facilitated by higher working speeds and automatic tool changes saves everyone time and money. A graphical, user-friendly interface reduces time spent setting up.
• More possibilities. Using the TRUMPF 5130 TruBend, ATACO can now perform different types of forming, such as roll forming for large radius parts. Short flanges, moldings and holes near the bending line can all be accomplished without deformation.
• Better bending, better fabrication. A better brake press produces metal parts with greater consistency, which makes all subsequent services more successful. More consistent parts mean more perfectly placed paths in robotic welding and other automated processes.
