Overview

The TRUMPF TruBend 5130 is a high-performance CNC press brake with integrated punching capability, delivering 1,300 kN (130 tons) of pressing force across a 3,100 mm working length. Positioned at the intersection of precision bending and punching technology, the TruBend 5130 is built for sheet metal fabricators who need a single machine to handle both hole-pattern punching and precision bending operations, reducing part handling and shortening lead times for complex bent-and-punched sheet metal components.

TRUMPF's proprietary ACB (Automatic Crowning and Bending) angle measurement system is standard on the TruBend 5130, using laser sensors to measure the actual bending angle in real time and automatically correct the punch stroke to compensate for material springback variation. This closed-loop angular correction eliminates the need for test bends and manual adjustment, delivering first-part-correct bending for production runs of any batch size — from single-piece custom fabrication to high-volume repeat orders.

The machine is controlled by the TRUMPF TASC 6000 CNC, a touchscreen-based control optimized for the TruBend series and featuring graphical 3D bending simulation, automatic bend sequence optimization, and offline programming compatibility with TRUMPF's TruTops Bend software suite. The offline programming environment allows jobs to be fully programmed and validated at a CAD workstation, then transferred to the machine for immediate production without setup time at the control.

With a Rolleri tooling system and compatibility with TRUMPF's own tool catalog — including special punching dies — the TruBend 5130 supports rapid tool changes via the machine's front-loading tool magazine and segmented punch holders. The backgauge system provides six CNC-controlled axes for complex positioning of large panels, and the front support arms with motorized height adjustment accommodate heavy sheet metal workpieces without operator fatigue during long production runs.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

ACB automatic angle correction eliminates springback error for first-part-correct bending
Combined punch and bend capability reduces part handling and floor-to-floor cycle time
Six-axis backgauge handles complex multi-bend large panel positioning
TruTops offline programming enables job preparation without machine downtime

Limitations

Not a true high-speed turret punch press — punching throughput is lower than dedicated CNC turret machines
High initial cost compared to conventional press brakes without punch capability
Tooling investment for combined punch/bend operations can be significant for diverse part families

Best For

Sheet metal fabricators producing parts requiring both punching and precision bending in one setup Job shops handling high-mix, low-to-medium volume complex sheet metal components Manufacturers reducing part handling between separate punch and bend machines

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Can the TruBend 5130 replace a dedicated CNC turret punch press?

For parts requiring a moderate number of punch operations combined with precision bending, the TruBend 5130 can consolidate both operations. However, for high-volume pure punching applications with many tool stations and complex nibbling paths, a dedicated turret punch press like the TruPunch series will be faster and more cost-effective.

02 What sheet thicknesses can the TruBend 5130 process?

The TruBend 5130 handles mild steel up to approximately 10 mm, stainless steel to 8 mm, and aluminum to 12 mm, depending on bend length and die configuration. These ranges cover the vast majority of sheet metal fabrication applications.

03 What is the ACB angle measurement system and how does it work?

ACB (Automatic Crowning and Bending) uses laser sensors mounted in the die to measure the actual bending angle of the workpiece in real time during the stroke. The control instantly calculates springback from the measured angle and adjusts the punch depth to hit the target angle exactly, compensating for material variation batch to batch.
