Trumpf TruBend Cell 5000 Lean vs Trumpf TruBend Cell 7000
Trumpf vs Trumpf · CNC Press Brakes
Summary
The Trumpf TruBend Cell 5000 Lean and Trumpf TruBend Cell 7000 are both automated bending cells with the Touchpoint TruBend control, but they target different part sizes. The Cell 5000 Lean has 850 kN (96 US tons) of force and 2,210 mm (87.0 in) of bending length. The Cell 7000 is a small-part cell with 217 kN, and its bending length is listed as 2x500 mm.
The Cell 7000 has the deeper throat, 515 mm against 420 mm (16.5 in), and is aimed at thin-gauge brackets, shields and housings with automatic tool changing for frequent changeovers. The Cell 5000 Lean is aimed at shops automating bending for the first time on parts such as channels and mounting plates.

Advantages
Trumpf TruBend Cell 5000 Lean
- 850 kN (96 US tons) of bending force against 217 kN
- 2,210 mm (87.0 in) bending length against 2x500 mm
- Aimed at a first step into automated bending for small and mid-size shops
Trumpf TruBend Cell 7000
- 515 mm throat depth against 420 mm (16.5 in)
- Aimed at high-volume thin-gauge small parts in a compact cell
- Automatic tool changing for frequent part changeovers
Verdict
The Trumpf TruBend Cell 5000 Lean is the choice for fabricators automating repeat orders of brackets, channels and mounting plates up to 2,210 mm long that need up to 850 kN. The Trumpf TruBend Cell 7000 suits electronics, medical and automotive suppliers bending very high volumes of small, thin-gauge parts, where 217 kN is enough and fast changeovers matter more than length.
