How much does the TRUMPF TruPunch 1000 CNC Punch Press cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc punch presse in this class — not a quote from TRUMPF. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
This TruPunch 1000 listing describes a servo-electric CNC punch press rated at 20 ton (180 kN), with a 1250 x 2500 mm work area and a stated range of 0.5 - 6 mm in mild steel. What the listed figures emphasise is tool availability: 20 active tool stations with random access, backed by a magazine of up to 40 tools.
Random access means any of the 20 stations can be called next without stepping through the others, which helps on parts that alternate between a few punches. The magazine figure is a separate one. Up to 40 tools can be stored, twice the number of active stations, so a job that needs more than 20 punches still involves exchanging tools between magazine and stations. Tool diameter is capped at 76.2 mm, and an opening larger than that has to be nibbled out.
Speed is quoted for nibbling, at up to 900 hits/min. No rate is listed for single hits spaced further apart, so expect a lower figure when holes are spread across the sheet. Repositioning runs at 80 m/min, and the control is the TRUMPF TruControl.
The 1250 x 2500 mm work area corresponds to the travel listed for the TruPunch 3000, 2,500 mm (98.4 in) in X and 1,250 mm (49.2 in) in Y. The TruPunch 5000 is the larger frame at 3,050 mm (120 in) by 1,550 mm (61.0 in).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 20 active tool stations with random access, plus up to 40 tools in the magazine
- Up to 900 hits/min when nibbling
- Servo-electric punching drive rated at 20 ton (180 kN)
- 1250 x 2500 mm work area with 80 m/min repositioning
Limitations
- The mild steel range ends at 6 mm, and no figures are listed for stainless or aluminum
- Maximum tool diameter is 76.2 mm
- The 900 hits/min figure applies to nibbling only
- 20 ton (180 kN) of force restricts long-perimeter punches in the thicker end of the range

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give 20 tool stations, described as active and random access, and a magazine holding up to 40 tools. Any of the 20 stations can be selected directly; the magazine is storage for tools that are not in a station at that moment.
02
The listed range is 0.5 - 6 mm in mild steel. No stainless or aluminum thickness is given, so those limits need to be confirmed separately, keeping in mind the 20 ton (180 kN) force rating.
03
Up to 900 hits/min, a figure given for nibbling, where hits follow each other at a short pitch. Repositioning speed is 80 m/min. No separate rate is listed for widely spaced single hits.
04
Maximum tool diameter is listed as 76.2 mm. Cut-outs larger than that are produced by nibbling, which is the mode the 900 hits/min figure refers to, or by making several overlapping hits with a smaller punch.
