Laser Cutting & Sheet Metal Equipment

Used Trumpf TruPunch 3000: Sell or Buy at Auction

TRUMPF is a premium German manufacturer of laser cutting systems, punch lasers, and bending machines: known for industry-leading laser technology and build quality. TRUMPF systems are the standard in high-end fabrication shops, aerospace, and automotive applications requiring precision sheet metal processing.

The TRUMPF TruPunch 3000 is an electric-drive CNC punching machine for sheet metal fabrication, and it is worth being precise about how it works: it is not a turret punch. Instead of indexing a turret, it feeds a single punching head from a linear tool magazine and rotates the active tool to any angle, which is TRUMPF's signature single-head design. That layout lets one machine handle punching, nibbling, forming, thread tapping, and part marking in a single setup. It processes sheet up to roughly 2500 by 1250 mm (about a 4 by 8 foot format) in one clamping, works material up to about 8 mm (roughly 0.3 inch) thick in mild steel, and carries a maximum punching force in the 220 kN class, which TRUMPF rates in kN rather than US tonnage. The electric drive is the reason fabricators favor it over older hydraulic punch presses: higher stroke rates, quieter running, and far less hydraulic upkeep. At auction, the TruPunch 3000 draws metal fabricators and contract manufacturers stepping up from aging hydraulic machines, attracted by TRUMPF's repeatable tolerances and the electric head's low maintenance. KD Auctions markets machines like this to a network of 500,000+ industry contacts, and a well-maintained example with a complete tooling and MultiTool set typically draws competitive bidding from fabrication shops nationwide.
