How much does the Trumpf TruBend Series 3000 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 Trumpf TruBend Series 3000 is a range of hydraulic press brakes with CNC-controlled crowning and a usable open height of 615 mm (24.2 in). The back gauge has 4 axes as standard and can be scaled to 5. Working speed is 15 mm/s (0.6 in/s) and rapid traverse is 170 mm/s (6.7 in/s).
Two features stand out in the table. The first is angle measurement with ACB Laser, a non-contact optical system with a stated accuracy of ±0.3 degree, which checks the bend angle without touching the part. The second is a bending aid with a load capacity of 150 kg (330 lb). Trumpf's argument for it is that heavy parts should be easy to handle: the aid takes load off the operator and, in Trumpf's words, makes for more productive work. The table does not say whether ACB Laser and the bending aid are fitted to every model of the series, so confirm both in the quotation.
What the series table leaves out is press force and bending length, the two figures that decide which model fits a job. They vary by model and have to be taken from the individual machine. Of the figures that are given, the 615 mm open height is the room available for tooling and for parts with tall flanges, and the 15 mm/s working speed governs the bend itself, since rapid traverse only covers the approach and return.
Full Specifications
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Usable Open Height | 615 mm (24.2 in) |
| Back Gauge | 4-axis standard, scalable to 5 axes |
| Working Speed | 15 mm/s (0.6 in/s) |
| Rapid Traverse Rate | 170 mm/s (6.7 in/s) |
| Angle Measurement | ACB Laser (non-contact optical), +/- 0.3 degree accuracy |
| Drive System | Hydraulic |
| Crowning | CNC-controlled |
| Bending Aid Capacity | 150 kg (330 lb) |
| Relief Counts | Because heavy parts should be easy to handle, the new bending aid with a load capacity of 150 kg noticeably reduces the load and ensures more productive work. |

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- ACB Laser angle measurement, non-contact and optical, with ±0.3 degree accuracy
- Back gauge with 4 axes as standard, scalable to 5 axes
- Bending aid with a load capacity of 150 kg (330 lb) for heavy parts
- 615 mm (24.2 in) of usable open height, with CNC-controlled crowning
Limitations
- The series table gives no press force or bending length; both depend on the individual model
- Working speed is 15 mm/s (0.6 in/s), which sets the pace of the bend whatever the 170 mm/s (6.7 in/s) rapid traverse saves on the approach
- A fifth back gauge axis is an extension, not part of the standard 4-axis gauge

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table lists ACB Laser angle measurement, a non-contact optical system, with an accuracy of ±0.3 degree. Crowning is CNC-controlled. Whether ACB Laser is included on each model of the series is not stated, so check the configuration of the machine you are offered.
02
Four axes as standard, and the gauge can be scaled to 5 axes. Additional gauge axes help with parts whose stop edges are not parallel to the bend line, so the fifth axis is worth specifying if such parts are regular work.
03
Working speed is 15 mm/s (0.6 in/s) and rapid traverse is 170 mm/s (6.7 in/s). The drive is hydraulic. Rapid traverse covers the approach and the return, while the working speed applies during the bend, so on parts with many bends the 15 mm/s figure has the larger effect on cycle time.
