The TC5000R introduces a new weight optimised co-ordinate guide system, lighter machine tables and rapid tool change cartridges to give 20m/sec2 acceleration and positioning speeds of 116m/min.

The TC5000R introduces a new weight optimised co-ordinate guide system, lighter machine tables and the use of rapid tool change cartridges made from carbon fibre. The result is acceleration values of 20m/sec2 and positioning speeds of 116m/min. This Trumatic is the latest addition to the Trumpf Trumatic range of punch presses - a machine whose emphasis is firmly on productivity.

Several design features contribute to its outstanding performance including a new guide system, proven punching head, increased c-axis speed, faster tool change and highly efficient materials handling.

The hydraulic punching head operates at 1200 hits per minute during punching and 2800 for marking.

The machine can process material up to 8mm thick and 230kg in weight.

Trumpf's advanced stripper control allows downward pressure of the stripper to be varied between 4.5 and 20kN from stroke to stroke through the programme control.

On the TC5000R, the c-axis rotation has also been increased to 330 rpm.

This allows much faster contouring and tapping.

The same applies to forming.

Thanks to the closed hydraulic control loop and measuring system, variable forming height ensures minimal stroke travel.

A new bending tool allows right angle forms up to a maximum of 25mm.

Beading forms can also be processed at high speed with the maximum of 2800 hits per minute.

Height adjustable clamps for holding the material are now offered, making it possible to form next to the clamps.

Weight reduction means tool change time is quicker on the TC5000R.

Tool set up is also simplified and downtime reduced thanks to a central clamp locking system for all tools in the linear magazine.

In common with other machines in the Trumatic range the TC5000R guarantees easy operation through open control technology and WindowsT interface.

On line help and integrated diagnostic functions help shopfloor personnel to understand and eliminate any problems.

Trumpf's Teleservice supports this should expert intervention be required.

In keeping with the TC5000R profile, the modular automation options available are also built for speed.

The new SheetMasterT system is almost 50% faster than its predecessor, which in turn boosts the productivity of the TC5000R even more.
