OverviewThe TruBend Series 8000 is a large-format press brake for heavy-duty bending of long and deep workpieces. Available in multiple variants (bending lengths from 3,230 mm to 8,050 mm) with press forces from 2,300 kN to 10,000 kN. Configurable as surface-mounted, underfloor or tandem for extended bending lengths and tonnages.
Key benefits- Large-format capability: options for bending lengths up to 8,050 mm and tandem operation up to ~16 m.
- High press force range: models from 2,300 kN to 10,000 kN to suit thick or short plate applications.
- Modular customization: Heavy‑Duty options, automation and tooling packages to match production needs.
- Material handling: large throat depth and adjustable support brackets for parts up to 300 kg.
- Energy efficiency: On‑Demand Drive reduces consumption by up to ~26%.
Precision & angle measurementAngle accuracy from the first bend is achieved with integrated systems: ACB Laser, ACB Wireless, Operator Controlled Bending (OCB) and TCB (Thickness Controlled Bending) software. These solutions correct angle deviations and compensate for thickness variations.
Heavy‑duty options & handlingHD clamps, automatic crowning and reinforced backgauges are available to withstand high loads (crowning up to 6,000 kN/m). Support brackets and bending aids (continuous height adjustment) simplify handling of heavy or long parts; surface-mounted variants handle up to 600 t at specific lengths.
Productivity & ergonomicsFeatures to reduce setup and increase throughput: Tool Indicator (LED), bending line laser, offline programming, Tool Setup Optimizer, MobileControl/MobileControl Pro and T‑8000 S Multi‑Touch Control for intuitive operation. Short setup times and station bending utilities minimize rework.
Equipment highlights- ACB Wireless: sensor disks in the upper tool with wireless communication to control.
- ACB Laser: non‑contact optical angle measurement with laser line and camera.
- Backgauges: up to 6 CNC axes; heavy-duty variants with traverse up to 1,000 mm.
- Crowning: automatic crowning adjustable in 250 mm steps; capacity up to 6,000 kN/m.
- Lower tool displacement: enables one tool to perform two bending steps.
- On‑Demand Drive: motor speed matched to ram movement for energy savings.
- Support brackets & bending aids: continuous height adjustment, supports up to 300 kg.
