// 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 />

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 />
