Trumpf TruBend 7036 vs Trumpf TruBend Cell 5000
Trumpf vs Trumpf · CNC Press Brakes
Summary
The Trumpf TruBend 7036 and Trumpf TruBend Cell 5000 serve different jobs. The TruBend 7036 is a compact, operator-run press brake for small parts, with 360 kN (40 US tons) of force and 1,020 mm (40.2 in) of bending length. The TruBend Cell 5000 is a robotic bending cell built around a larger brake, with 1300 kN and 3230 mm.
The Cell 5000 also has the deeper throat, 420 mm against 150 mm (5.91 in), and is aimed at lights-out production with automated tool changing. Both use the Touchpoint TruBend control. The 7036 is aimed at small brackets, clips and enclosures, and at shops that want an ergonomic manual machine in a small space.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Trumpf TruBend 7036 | Trumpf TruBend Cell 5000 |
|---|---|---|
| Bending Length | 1,020 mm (40.2 in) | 3230 mm ▲ |
| Throat Depth | 150 mm (5.91 in) | 420 mm ▲ |
Advantages
Trumpf TruBend 7036
- Compact machine aimed at production cells with limited floor space
- Operator-run with ergonomic support for full-shift small-part bending
- Can be automated later in a TruBend Cell 7000 for small parts
Trumpf TruBend Cell 5000
- 1300 kN of bending force against 360 kN (40 US tons)
- 3230 mm bending length against 1,020 mm (40.2 in)
- 420 mm throat depth against 150 mm (5.91 in)
- Robotic loading and automatic tool changing for lights-out production
Verdict
The Trumpf TruBend 7036 suits job shops and medical or electronics fabricators bending high volumes of small parts within 1,020 mm, run by an operator in a compact space. The Trumpf TruBend Cell 5000 is for high-volume or multi-shift fabricators that want to bend larger parts, up to 3230 mm and 1300 kN, without a press brake operator.
