Trumpf TruPunch 2000

The Trumpf TruPunch 2000 is a punching machine for 1,250 x 2,500 mm sheets, with 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of X travel, 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of Y travel and a maximum sheet thickness of 6.4 mm (0.25 in). Trumpf lists a maximum stroke rate of 900 per minute when punching and 1,600 strokes/min when marking.

Energy is the unusual entry in Trumpf's table. Average power consumption is 4.5 kW in production and 0.3 kW at idle. Both are averages, not the connected load, so the supply still has to be sized from Trumpf's installation data, but they are the right numbers for estimating energy use per shift.

Tool change takes 2.4 s. On the TruPunch 3000 the same row reads 0.5 s, so the TruPunch 2000 fits parts made with a short tool list better than parts that swap punches every few hits. Tool capacity is listed as 17 pieces / 3 pieces.

Finished parts leave in one of two ways. Standard part removal handles parts up to 180 x 150 mm; with the moving table and fixed chute the limit rises to 460 x 500 mm. Workpieces on the table can weigh up to 150 kg (331 lb).

The machine occupies 6,540 x 7,237 x 2,155 mm (257 x 285 x 85 in), far more than the 1,250 x 2,500 mm sheet it processes, and that is the figure to lay out on the shop floor plan first.
