Flex Cell

The fastest mobile bending cell from TRUMPF

Automation doesn't get much quicker

The Flex Cell bending automation transforms your manual TruBend 7050 into the fastest bending cell supplied by TRUMPF. If you receive urgent orders, you can scale your production capacity for simple parts in next to no time. And without the need for additional staff on the machine. This eases your team's workload and enables you to implement autonomous shifts. You simply connect the mobile robot cell to your bending machine. This gives you a completely automated bending cell with a spacious raw material storage and a compact installation surface.

Extremely quick

The fastest bending cell for simple components from TRUMPF.

High loading capacity

Double loading capacity enables autonomous runtime of up to 42 hours.

Minimal space requirements

Automated bending power in a very small space ( <10 m²).

Plug in for versatile manufacturing

Manufacture complex parts manually, simple parts automatically. The Flex Cell is ready for production in a matter of minutes.

Mobile solution

Move by hand or with a forklift truck, then use immediately.

Autonomous production 
Autonomous production

Components such as the double sheet detection, centring table, regripping station and the combined gripper ensure seamless automation of the bending process and enable largely autonomous production.

Immediate programming
Immediate programming

You can program the bending program quickly with the well-established TecZone Bend software. Next, you generate the robot program using the programming wizard on the teach panel of the industrial robot.

What makes the Flex Cell mobile bending automation system so fast? Find out more about its special features here.

6-axis industrial robot

High-performance, precise, lightweight: the 6-axis industrial robot helps you to achieve high part precision and short cycle times. The mechanical quick-release coupling enables grippers to be changed quickly.

Centring table

You do not need to stack the blanks exactly in the loading area, as the centring table aligns them in the correct position. This enhances process reliability and saves time. The perforated sheet on the surface also prevents the parts from sticking.

Combined gripper

The Flex Cell is particularly powerful thanks to the combination of vacuum and pivoting-jaw gripper. Its movable vacuum unit ensures a low obstruction during bending. The grippers are also designed for gripping over flanges.

Double sheet detection

Guarantees a high level of process reliability: sheet thickness measuring is used to detect whether the gripper has picked up two sheets at an early stage. The double sheet detection system also serves as a regripping station.

Flex Cell mit Förderband
Conveyor belt

With the conveyor belt, even delicate parts can be safely unloaded. It can also be undocked quickly, offers ample space for the operator and has minimal disruptive contours for the additional material flow.

Regripping station

Two regripping stations are integrated into the Flex Cell: a fixed one for smaller parts and an adjustable one for larger parts. The vacuum generated by each suction cup ensures that the bending parts are held securely. The short distances also enable quick regripping, which reduces cycle times.

Loading and unloading cart

Simplifying the filling and emptying process – with the loading and unloading carts, you can prepare the next parts during production and switch them out quickly and effortlessly.

ACB angle measuring system

Angle measurement on the Flex Cell – using the new ACB "Smart" method, the Flex Cell can be equipped with both ACB Wireless and ACB Laser.

Suction cup gripper

With the suction cup gripper, larger parts up to 600 x 400 mm can also be produced in the Flex Cell. The additional swivel axis reduces the need for part regripping.
