Automated punching machine TruMatic 5000

electricservo-drivensheet metal

Overview
The TruMatic 5000 is a punch‑laser combination system for fully automated, multi‑shift sheet metal production. It integrates punching, laser cutting and forming with a 6 kW TruFiber solid‑state laser and DeltaDrive to process a wide range of materials. The system can be paired with the new SheetMaster for autonomous loading, pre‑separation, sorting, palletising and unloading.

Key benefits

• High productivity: 6 kW TruFiber enables fast laser cutting in combined punch‑laser cycles.
• Automated workflow: SheetMaster and ToolMaster support continuous, multi‑shift operation.
• Scratch‑free punching/forming: descending die reduces surface damage during processing.
• Reduced secondary operations: combined processing often eliminates downstream deburring and handling.
• Wide material capability: reliable processing of steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper and brass.
• Energy efficiency: solid‑state laser technology and DeltaDrive improve overall energy use.

Functionality and components
The TruMatic 5000 uses a single cutting head with advanced beam guidance for all materials and thicknesses, minimising non‑productive head changes. Punching, lasering and forming tools work in synergy to deliver ready parts. The new SheetMaster (new generation) handles raw sheet loading, pre‑separation during production, unloading of finished parts, sorting and palletising via a flexible gripping unit with individually controlled suction cups. The ToolMaster enables parallel tool handling and automatic tool changes without stopping production.

Options & equipment highlights

• Descending die for scratch‑free punching and forming.
• Brush tables for sensitive materials.
• Vision equipment (Smart View) for live monitoring.
• Smart Load and Unload with sensors for reliable handling and inspection.
• Separation station for pre‑separation parallel to production.
• Smart punch monitoring to detect broken or missing punches before tool change.
• Integrated flattening to correct sheet deformations during processing.
