Overview
The TRUMPF TruPunch 5000 is a high-performance servo-electric turret punch press designed for production sheet metal fabrication in enclosure, appliance, and precision panel markets requiring top-tier productivity and flexibility. The 20-ton punch force and 1500x3000mm work area covers full 4x10-foot sheet sizes. The TruPunch 5000 features TRUMPF's MultiTool system where a single tool station can hold up to 12 different punching tools, effectively multiplying the usable tool capacity far beyond the 40-station turret count. Punch rates up to 900 hits per minute for nibbling and 1,000 hits per minute with the HP (High Performance) head option. The integrated SheetMaster loader/unloader automates sheet loading and part sorting for lights-out production. TRUMPF's TruTops Punch offline programming with the 3D sheet simulation ensures error-free first-part programs without machine prove-outs.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
MultiTool is a TRUMPF-patented system where a single turret station houses a cartridge that holds up to 12 different punch and die tools. The machine automatically indexes to any tool within the cartridge during the program, effectively providing access to 40 turret stations x 12 tools = 480 different tools without manual station changeovers.
02
Yes. The TruPunch 5000 is designed for integration into TRUMPF TruLaser FMC cells with the SheetMaster automated handling system. Sheets can flow automatically from laser cutting to punching and bending in a fully automated sequence programmed through TRUMPF TruTops software.
