Our best estimate for a cnc punch presse in this class — not a quote from TRUMPF. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The TRUMPF TruPunch 3000 is a punching machine with 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of X travel and 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of Y travel. It takes sheet up to 6.4 mm (0.25 in) thick and workpieces up to 150 kg (331 lb), and it changes tools in 0.5 s.

Two rows of Trumpf's table carry a pair of values instead of one. Punching force is given as 165 | 180 kN and maximum stroke rate as 600 | 800 per minute. The table does not label the pairs. When a quotation arrives, ask which force and which stroke rate belong to the machine on offer, and do not assume the higher of each.

The 6.4 mm (0.25 in) thickness limit does not hold for every material: stainless is limited to 4 mm. Punch diameter is 76.2 mm (3 in) as standard, so a cut-out wider than that is made with several hits instead of one.

The quick tool change is the clearest difference from the TruPunch 2000, which shares the travels and the 150 kg (331 lb) workpiece limit but lists 2.4 s per change. Tool capacity is listed as 18 pieces / 2 pieces, against 17 pieces / 3 pieces on the TruPunch 2000. The next size up is the TruPunch 5000, with 3,050 mm (120 in) by 1,550 mm (61.0 in) of travel and sheet to 8 mm (0.31 in).

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Tool change time of 0.5 s, against 2.4 s on the TruPunch 2000
2,500 mm (98.4 in) of X travel and 1,250 mm (49.2 in) of Y travel
Punching force of up to 180 kN and a stroke rate of up to 800 per minute, taking the higher value of each listed pair
Workpieces up to 150 kg (331 lb) and sheet up to 6.4 mm (0.25 in)
76.2 mm (3 in) punch diameter as standard

Limitations

Stainless steel is limited to 4 mm
Force and stroke rate are listed as unlabelled pairs, 165 | 180 kN and 600 | 800 per minute, so the lower values may apply to a given machine
Sheet thickness stops at 6.4 mm (0.25 in), where the TruPunch 5000 lists 8 mm (0.31 in)
Y travel of 1,250 mm (49.2 in) falls short of the 1,550 mm (61.0 in) on the TruPunch 5000, so wider sheets do not fit

Best For

Sheet up to 6.4 mm (0.25 in) thick within 2,500 mm (98.4 in) by 1,250 mm (49.2 in) Parts with frequent tool changes, at 0.5 s per change Stainless work up to 4 mm Workpieces up to 150 kg (331 lb)

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the punching force of the TruPunch 3000?

Trumpf lists it as 165 | 180 kN, two values without a label saying which version of the machine each belongs to. The maximum stroke rate is listed the same way, as 600 | 800 per minute. Confirm both figures for the specific machine being quoted.

02 How thick a sheet can the TruPunch 3000 punch?

Maximum sheet thickness is 6.4 mm (0.25 in). For stainless the limit is 4 mm. The standard punch diameter is 76.2 mm (3 in), so the largest single-hit hole is set by that figure and by the force available in the material being punched.

03 How does the TruPunch 3000 differ from the TruPunch 2000?

The travels, 2,500 mm (98.4 in) by 1,250 mm (49.2 in), the 6.4 mm (0.25 in) sheet thickness and the 150 kg (331 lb) workpiece limit are the same on both. The TruPunch 3000 changes tools in 0.5 s where the TruPunch 2000 takes 2.4 s. Tool capacity is listed as 18 pieces / 2 pieces against 17 pieces / 3 pieces.

04 When is the TruPunch 5000 the better choice over the TruPunch 3000?

When the sheet or the part outgrows the TruPunch 3000. The TruPunch 5000 lists 3,050 mm (120 in) by 1,550 mm (61.0 in) of travel, 8 mm (0.31 in) sheet and 280 kg (617 lb) workpieces, against 2,500 mm (98.4 in) by 1,250 mm (49.2 in), 6.4 mm (0.25 in) and 150 kg (331 lb) here.
