// Do you own a machine that really ought to be automated to handle<br />

your firm’s bulging order books? Do you have a used machine<br />

that is missing some desirable options? Or do you have a new<br />

machine that needs functions you overlooked when placing the<br />

order? That is no problem. TRUMPF’s extensive range of functional<br />

enhancements makes for retroactive optimization of both older and<br />

more current machines. And such projects can often be carried out<br />

without machine downtime. The experts at TRUMPF can install, for<br />

example, automation components, additional software modules or<br />

process monitoring capabilities that are tailored to the machine.<br />

TRUMPF technicians performed more than 1,300 product enhancement<br />

projects in the last year. The advantages are clear: <strong>Co</strong>mpanies<br />

can expand their manufacturing capability with flexibility and, even<br />

after the sale, can increase the productivity of their machines.<br />

Product Enhancements boost productivity<br />

Bending the right angle from the very first try: The ACB<br />

sensor makes its measurements while bending transpires<br />

and automatically sets the desired target value.<br />

// What appears to be the same is not<br />

always identical. Experience has shown<br />

that gauge tolerances, the rolling direction<br />

or the tensile strength can vary<br />

within a single lot of sheet metal. That<br />

often makes it necessary to bend<br />

beyond the desired final angle. The<br />

machine operator is perfectly justified<br />

in expecting to achieve precise angles<br />

without having to revert to a second<br />

round of bending. The key here is a<br />

sensor that measures the bending angle<br />

during the bending process and then<br />

automatically specifies the appropriate<br />

set-point value.<br />

With the ACB (Automatically <strong>Co</strong>ntrolled<br />

Bending) sensor, every angle<br />

will be perfect from the very start. Up<br />

to eight sensors can be mounted as<br />

Product Enhancements<br />

Bringing an older machine up to state of the art —<br />

retrofits are the key.<br />

Always at the right angle<br />

A good part right from the very first unit:<br />

The high-speed ACB angle sensor eliminates extensive<br />

trial runs for bending programs<br />

desired along the pressure beam in the<br />

TruBend Series 5000. Three sensors,<br />

arranged in parallel, ensure good bending<br />

angle accuracy along the entire<br />

length — even for very long profiles.<br />

All of the ACB functions are integrated<br />

into the user interface.<br />

The TASC 6000, a new generation<br />

of controls integrated into the TruBend<br />

Series 5000, features a 2.8 GHz processor<br />

and an optimized calculation algorithm.<br />

These improvements shorten<br />

the amount of time required to measure<br />

and correct the angle — and further<br />

boosts operating efficiency in the<br />

TruBend Series 5000. Excellent productivity<br />

and superb precision: That is not<br />

a contradiction for TRUMPF machines.<br />
