How much does the Trumpf TruBend Cell 5000 Lean Edition 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 Cell 5000 Lean Edition is an automated bending cell built on a press brake with a 2,210 mm (87.0 in) bending length. A BendMaster on a 6 m (236 in) material handling track loads the blanks, presents them to the tooling and stacks what comes out.
Start with two numbers that are easy to confuse. The maximum carrying capacity is 60 kg (132 lb), but the maximum part weight is 40 kg (88 lb). Size your jobs to the lower figure. The largest part is 2,000 x 1,000 mm (79 x 39 in), and Trumpf adds that profiles can be up to 2000 mm long. At the thin end, sheet has to be at least 0.7 mm (0.028 in).
On the bending side, the ram moves down at 200 mm/s in rapid and the Y axis presses at a maximum of 25 mm/s. There are 1,750 mm (68.9 in) between the columns and the throat is 420 mm (16.5 in) deep. Usable open height is 615 mm (24.2 in), which is generous for a machine of this length and helps with parts that carry tall flanges after the first few bends.
Planning the installation takes more than the machine footprint of 3,020 x 1,800 x 2,835 mm (119 x 71 x 112 in). The basic machine is 7,800 kg (17,196 lb), the BendMaster 595 kg, and every 2000 mm element of floor track 310 kg. Input stacks reach 700 mm (27.6 in) and the finished parts stack 1,000 mm (39.4 in), and both need forklift access. A stand-alone press brake of the same length appears in the TruBend Series 5000 table at 2210 mm and 8300 kg.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Automatic gripper change, which Trumpf says saves time, with both gripper and vacuum gripping technology
- Usable open height of 615 mm (24.2 in) on a 2,210 mm (87.0 in) machine
- Finished parts stack up to 1,000 mm (39.4 in) from a sheet stack of up to 700 mm (27.6 in)
- Rapid downward speed of 200 mm/s shortens the idle part of each stroke
- Takes sheet as thin as 0.7 mm (0.028 in) and parts as heavy as 40 kg (88 lb)
Limitations
- Maximum part weight is 40 kg (88 lb) even though the carrying capacity is 60 kg (132 lb)
- Y-axis press speed tops out at 25 mm/s
- Bending length is fixed at 2,210 mm (87.0 in); a TruBend 5170 is listed at 3,230 mm (127 in)
- The cell needs floor space well beyond the 3,020 x 1,800 x 2,835 mm (119 x 71 x 112 in) machine, for a 6 m (236 in) track and two stack areas

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Trumpf lists the two separately: a maximum carrying capacity of 60 kg (132 lb) and a maximum part weight of 40 kg (88 lb). The table does not explain the gap. For job planning, treat 40 kg (88 lb) as the heaviest part the cell will bend.
02
The minimum sheet thickness is 0.7 mm (0.028 in). Trumpf lists gripper and vacuum gripping technology for small and medium parts as well as parts weighing up to 40 kg, with an automatic change between grippers.
03
The bending length is the same: 2,210 mm (87.0 in) in the cell and 2210 mm in the TruBend Series 5000 table. The cell's basic machine is listed at 7,800 kg (17,196 lb), while the TruBend Series 5000 table gives 8300 kg. The cell adds the BendMaster at 595 kg and the floor track.
04
The machine footprint is 3,020 x 1,800 x 2,835 mm (119 x 71 x 112 in). The material handling track is 6 m (236 in) long, and you need room for a sheet stack up to 700 mm (27.6 in) high and a finished parts stack up to 1,000 mm (39.4 in) high, with access to change them.
05
Rapid downward movement is 200 mm/s and the maximum Y-axis press speed is 25 mm/s. In an automated cell the robot's handling between bends often takes longer than the stroke itself, so these speeds are only part of the cycle time.
