How much does the Trumpf TruBend 5170 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc press brake in this class — not a quote from Trumpf. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The TruBend 5170 is a 3,230 mm (127 in) Trumpf press brake with an electro-hydraulic, 4-cylinder drive listed as On-Demand Servo, CNC-controlled crowning and a 6-axis programmable back gauge. It weighs 14,150 kg (31,195 lb). The TruBend 5130 has the same bending length at 11,800 kg (26,015 lb), so this machine carries about 20% more mass on the same bed.
The figure that stands out is the usable open height of 615 mm (24.2 in). With that much room between the beams, tall punches, raised dies and parts with high return flanges can be loaded and withdrawn without tilting the workpiece out sideways. The throat is 420 mm (16.5 in) deep.
Over a 3,230 mm (127 in) bend the beam and table deflect under load, and without correction the angle opens in the middle of the part. CNC-controlled crowning is listed to counter that. The 6-axis back gauge gives independent control of each finger, which is what tapered blanks and parts with stepped edges need. Maximum bending speed is 25 mm/s (1.0 in/s), and the control is Touchpoint TruBend.
Plan the installation around 3,980 × 1,900 × 3,000 mm (157 × 74.8 × 118 in). For bends beyond this length, the TruBend Series 8000 is listed at 4420 mm and 25000 kg with the T-8000 S Multi-Touch Control.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Usable open height of 615 mm (24.2 in) for tall tooling and deep-flanged parts
- Electro-hydraulic, 4-cylinder drive listed as On-Demand Servo
- CNC-controlled crowning on a 3,230 mm (127 in) bending length
- 6-axis programmable back gauge with the Touchpoint TruBend control
- About 20% heavier than the TruBend 5130, at 14,150 kg (31,195 lb) against 11,800 kg (26,015 lb)
Limitations
- Maximum bending speed is 25 mm/s (1.0 in/s)
- Stands 3,000 mm (118 in) high and weighs 14,150 kg (31,195 lb), so hall height and floor loading need checking
- The table lists no press force for this model
- Bending length is 3,230 mm (127 in); the TruBend Series 8000 is listed at 4420 mm for longer parts

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The drive system is listed as electro-hydraulic, 4-cylinder, On-Demand Servo. The maximum bending speed is 25 mm/s (1.0 in/s). Trumpf's table for this model does not state a press force or rapid speeds.
02
Usable open height is 615 mm (24.2 in) and the throat depth is 420 mm (16.5 in). The open height is the space shared by the upper tool, the lower tool and the part, so a large figure matters most for box-shaped parts with high sides.
03
Both have a 3,230 mm (127 in) bending length and the Touchpoint TruBend control. The TruBend 5170 weighs 14,150 kg (31,195 lb) and the TruBend 5130 weighs 11,800 kg (26,015 lb). A heavier frame on the same bed length indicates the stronger machine of the pair.
04
A 6-axis programmable back gauge and CNC-controlled crowning. Crowning compensates for beam deflection along the 3,230 mm (127 in) bending length, and six gauge axes let the two fingers be set independently for parts whose edges are not parallel to the bend line.
05
The overall dimensions are 3,980 × 1,900 × 3,000 mm (157 × 74.8 × 118 in) and the machine weight is 14,150 kg (31,195 lb). Check the delivery route and crane or forklift capacity against those figures.
