So you’re in the market
for a new press brake.
With so many makes and models available how do you
choose the right machine and how can you be sure
you’re getting the very latest technology with the
highest possible levels of productivity and performance?
Advanced technologies accessible today deliver safe, high speed and efficient machine control,
greater functionality and usability, highly advanced optical protection and exceptional performance. In
addition to these technologies, the latest advancements in embedded optical imaging aid productivity
through more accurate and consistent part production, managing faster bend speeds, real-time angle
measurement, high speed angle control and instant part sampling.
Unfortunately some press brake manufacturers make the mistake of treating productivity aids, user
functionality, operator protection and safety as an afterthought. Simply adding on or offering an array
of third party devices and components may provide basic functions but without the latest technology
embedded as a complete solution these add ons can dramatically reduce machine productivity,
performance, functionality and usability. In the end this costs you money.
What if you could own a machine that provides you with the very latest in functionality, safety and
operator protection while at the same time enhancing productivity and performance to levels never
before possible?
In this guide we showcase the industry’s leading press brake manufacturers who have embedded
the very latest technologies into their machine designs to provide users efficient and streamlined
operation, enhanced functionality and outstanding levels of productivity and performance.

Technology
RapidBend
Turbo charge your press brake.
Press brake optical protection doesn’t have to slow you down. Machines with
embedded RapidBend technology utilise high speed progressive muting that
enables the tools to close safely at high speed until the punch is only millimetres
above the material. This reduces the slow speed travel distance on every bend to
boost machine performance and significantly enhance your productivity.
RapidBend enables the press brake to close safely at high speed until the punch
is just 6mm above the material.
RapidBend Plus
Not fast enough? RapidBend Plus reduces the speed change point even further
from 6mm down to just 2mm to significantly enhance machine productivity,
especially in high level production environments.
RapidBend Ultimate
Why go slow when you can always go fast? RapidBend Ultimate eliminates slow
speed altogether by enabling the tools to close at high speed right down to the
pinch point for the ultimate in high speed performance.
Press Brakes with RapidBend technology consistently outperform any other
machines on the market. Only press brakes with embedded RapidBend
technology can guarantee this high level of performance so look for RapidBend,
RapidBend Plus or RapidBend Ultimate when purchasing your next machine.

Technology
SmartLink
Work smarter not harder.
SmartLink seamlessly integrates machine safety, optical protection and optical imaging functions with
the CNC system to enhance the operation, functionality, performance and efficiency of the press brake.
Press brakes with SmartLink offer a wide array of functions and not only operate without restriction or
interference from the optical protection system but with enhanced efficiency and productivity.
Functionality & productivity.
SmartLink enables optical protection modes to be selected and customised in the CNC bend program.
A different mode or combination of modes can be selected for each bend step allowing the operator
to streamline set-up to suit the profile of the work piece. SmartLink automatically switches modes on
each step of the bend program with automatic blanking of individual sensors to eliminate unnecessary
stops and pedal presses for reduced cycle time and the fastest possible part production.
Press brakes with SmartLink technology produce parts more efficiently and faster than ever before.
FlexSpeed
Who said safer is slower?
FlexSpeed safety control with high speed processing technology provides the platform for more
efficient machine operation and superior performance.
Traditional press brake designs employ a combination of hardware and software safety processing.
This inefficient process slows down overall response and reaction times and when coupled with optical
protection systems leads to a reduction in machine performance by forcing the machine to operate
at reduced closing speed in order to improve stopping performance and increasing slow speed travel
prior to bending.
Machines with FlexSpeed technology operate with maximum efficiency and productivity with no
restriction on operating speed or performance.

PRESS BRAKE BUYER’S GUIDE
AutoSense
AutoSense automatic monitoring technology tracks machine operation and performance in real
time. AutoSense automatically monitors control commands, motion, direction, speed and stopping
performance to maintain a high level of machine and operator protection. Press brakes with AutoSense
guarantee compliance with international safety standards that mandate automatic monitoring of
machine overrun and safe speed.
AutoSense Plus
AutoSense Plus provides additional monitoring to detect and diagnose specific machine electrical
and hydraulic faults with visual alerts displayed on the CNC. Machine problems are quickly and easily
identified to help get your machine back into production with minimal downtime.
AutoSense Ultimate
AutoSense Ultimate adds advanced Dynamic Valve Monitoring technology to automatically monitor
hydraulic valves, associated control commands and machine actions independent of traditional
valve sensors.
Press Brakes with embedded AutoSense technology give you peace of mind so you can focus on
getting the job done.
BendShield
Protecting your productivity, not just your operators.
BendShield technology provides advanced optical protection by enveloping the punch tip with a
protective field that has no gaps while maintaining high speed operation. With an object detection
resolution of 2mm, BendShield detects even the smallest obstruction from any angle. Press brakes
with BendShield technology are not only the safest but also the most productive with guaranteed high
speed performance.

Superior bending
An array of features makes TruBend Series 5000 by TRUMPF more productive and user-friendly
than ever before. Using an exceptional control concept, the machines are amazingly easy to operate.
Plus, two innovative angle measuring systems guarantee ultimate accuracy.
High axis speeds and acceleration
rates coupled with innovative
operating aids lend the TruBend
Series 5000 unparalleled productivity
– while keeping the high degree of
part flexibility customers have come
to expect. These high-productivity,
all-purpose TRUMPF machines
come equipped with an On-Demand
Servo Drive that features 4-cylinder
drive technology. The Servo Drive is
highly dynamic and extremely quiet
in operation, and delivers significantly
more productivity than a conventional
drive. At the same time, it remains
eco-friendly since it consumes energy
only during the bending process.
As TRUMPF was developing the
newest version of its most successful
bending machine, it placed the needs
of the operator firmly at the forefront –
the reason being that this is a decisive
factor influencing the quality and
productivity of the bending process.
The operator is assisted by a range of
ergonomic components, for instance
the MagicShoe, which revolutionizes
stroke triggering.
Human-machine interaction
The Touchpoint TruBend control is
revolutionary in its simplicity and
intuitive to use. Machine operators
will quickly know how to use the
different views, which focus on the
essentials while still providing all the
familiar options. An extremely realistic
3D visualization incorporating collision
monitoring is also available to assist
the operator. The user interface is
engineered with the demands of
everyday production in mind. The
18
machine can be operated without
a mouse, using a 21.5 inch monitor
which, like a tablet, is equipped with
the multi-touch function, and can
even be used wearing work gloves.
Operators are free to swivel the
monitor into whatever position is
convenient for them, and have quick
access to direct help whenever they
need it.
To cut down on walking distances and
increase productivity at the same time,
operators can also use an additional
mobile control unit, the MobileControl
Pro. Operators can position the unit
anywhere along the press beam –
that way it is always within reach and
saves them numerous trips to the fixed
control panel. A 3.5 inch color display
enables them to input all the directions
they might need for the bending
process while standing directly at the
machine, including instructions to
switch to the next/previous bending
step or to correct the angle and axis
positions.
Ergonomic assistants for highquality parts
One of the revolutionary components
of the new TruBend Series 5000 is the
MagicShoe, a work shoe fitted with
smart sensors. This makes it easy
for the operator to move around and
initiate the stroke wherever they are
standing at the machine. Dragging
and relocating foot pedals becomes
a thing of the past, and the space in
front of the machine remains clear.
MagicShoe has its own type approval
examination, and its safety has been
tested and approved by the TÜV
inspection institution and certification
authority. Using it is completely safe
and there is no chance of accidentally
initiating a stroke.
An optical positioning aid slashes
setup times, thanks to white LEDs
that show with millimeter precision
exactly where the bending tools are
needed. And during bending, the
optical positioning aid always lights
up at the position where the next
bending operation is required. To
position workpieces securely, the
machine comes with an optimized
2-, 4-, 5- or 6-axis backgauge that
finds the correct position even faster
than before. Optimal illumination is
achieved thanks to LED lighting at the
front and in the interior of the machine.
Sliding doors at the sides made of
safety glass also make for ideal lighting
conditions and take up less space
around the machine than conventional
hinged doors.
Two measuring systems for
ensuring precise angles
Precise angles are the most crucial
part of bending quality, which is
why TRUMPF offers an assortment
of smart features designed to
achieve maximum precision. TCB
(Thickness Controlled Bending)
alone reduces angle errors caused
by variations in sheet thickness,
while those looking for ultimate angle
accuracy are advised to go with
the ACB (Automatically Controlled
Bending) angle measuring systems.
These systems measure the actual
angle during the bending process
together with the spring-back and
PRESS BRAKE BUYER’S GUIDE
guide the press beam to achieve the
desired angle – the ideal solution for
guaranteeing quality results from the
outset. Two high-quality ACB angle
measuring systems are available
for the TruBend Series 5000, that
complement one another perfectly.
Ideally one of the two gets deployed,
depending on the application.
The new ACB Laser is compatible
with all types of tools. In this system,
pressbrakebuyersguide.com
there are measuring stations in front
and behind the bending line, each one
moving automatically into the correct
position. As part of a contactless
optical process, a laser projects a
line onto the sheet and a camera
measures the angle. Particularly if
faced with acute and open angles as
well as thick sheet metal, the ACB
Laser is the solution for maximum
precision – with no setup time at all.
For those who have to bend short
sides, work with reflective surfaces, or
require multi-point measurement, the
improved ACB Wireless is the obvious
solution. This system doesn’t need
a cable, automatically identifies the
position of sensor tools and is easy to
use. Measurements are taken via two
sensor disks integrated into the upper
tool.

Optimizing Tool Setup for
Better Bending Productivity
LVD overcomes the most significant bending bottleneck with a unique automated press
brake system.
Fabricators around the world face the
same challenge – how to maximize
throughput due to increased tool
changes. No matter the size or
complexity of the bending application,
tool setup time is the most significant
bottleneck when it comes to bending
productivity. The need to frequently
change tools continues to be fueled by
the trend toward reduced batch sizes
and shortened lead times, as well as
the necessity to reduce stock levels
and manufacture the exact quantity
required.
Is your bending output suffering?
The solution is automatic
To make press brake setup more
efficient, LVD developed ToolCell. An
innovative automatic tool changing
press brake, this press brake
automation system cuts down on
setup preparation time by:
• Automatically loading/unloading
tooling while the operator is
preparing the next job
• Eliminating small adjustment of
tool sets
• Holding a large library of tools
within the ToolCell
Now more than ever, optimizing tool
setup is fundamental to better bending
productivity. Ask yourself:
