Identify the machine and manufacturing cell
The 202609 brochure gives the large-format TruMatic 5000 a 2,535 × 1,550 mm combined range and 230 kg workpiece limit. The optional SheetMaster suction package lists loading up to 300 kg. A 260 kg sheet exceeds the machine limit by 30 kg. The brochure lists 8 mm maximum sheet thickness and 5 mm aluminium laser capacity, while the reviewed web table lists 6.4 mm and 6 mm, respectively. Resolve those differences against the installed machine’s documentation. TRUMPF punch-laser brochure, 202609, p. 15, TRUMPF current web technical data.
The product page describes a 6 kW solid-state laser with Delta Drive punching and options for automated loading, removal and sorting. Record type, serial, build date, source, software, tools and automation. TRUMPF TruMatic 5000.
TruPunch 5000 is a separate punching machine. Use the punch–laser table for TruMatic 5000. TRUMPF TruPunch 5000.

Dated machine capacity
The English punch-laser brochure is marked 202609 on its back cover. Its TruMatic 5000 technical table on page 15 lists:
| Characteristic | Medium format | Large format |
|---|---|---|
| Punching and laser operating range | 2,500 × 1,250 mm | 3,000 × 1,550 mm |
| Combined processing range | 2,535 × 1,250 mm | 2,535 × 1,550 mm |
| Maximum workpiece weight | 150 kg | 230 kg |
| Maximum sheet thickness | 8 mm | 8 mm |
| Effective punching force | 180 kN | 180 kN |
| Punching rate at 1 mm increments | 800/min | 690/min |
The table identifies TruFiber 6001, 6,000 W, with laser-specific maximum thicknesses of 8 mm mild steel and stainless steel, 5 mm aluminium, and 6 mm copper and brass. These values describe the brochure configuration; they are not a finished-part quality guarantee. TRUMPF punch-laser brochure, 202609, p. 15
The international web table reviewed November 1, 2026 instead lists 6.4 mm maximum sheet thickness and 6 mm aluminium laser capacity. Preserve this source/version difference and resolve it against the applicable offer, order confirmation and machine documentation. Do not combine the largest number from each source into an invented capability. TRUMPF current web technical data
Check access for each process with the actual clamp layout, formed heights and repositioning sequence.
Match the feature to the operation
Punching can produce repeated openings and suitable forms while the laser produces free contours. Thread forming, marking and deburring require their respective tools and supported functions. Decide the operation sequence with the surrounding sheet skeleton and subsequent handling in mind; releasing a contour too early can remove the support needed by a later operation.
The manufacturer's PunchGuide separates punching force, cutting clearance, pre-punch diameter, maximum edge length and stripper selection into distinct calculations. A nominal 180 kN capacity does not make every hole geometry possible at the maximum sheet thickness. Check the actual material, geometry and complete tool assembly against the installed machine and tooling guidance. TRUMPF PunchGuide
A thread-forming operation is also different from cutting a thread. TRUMPF describes a tapping tool that displaces material in a pre-processed hole or extrusion without forming chips. Specify the actual tooling and pre-hole requirements, then verify thread fit and the material's suitability. Do not infer that every alloy and thread is supported because the machine offers forming operations. TRUMPF tapping tool
Treat handling capacity as a separate constraint
The 202609 brochure lists SheetMaster loading limits separately from machine workpiece limits. Large-format loading up to 8 mm or 300 kg needs the identified additional suction package; those handling figures do not override the machine's 230 kg workpiece limit. Its unloading table also distinguishes minimum punching-part and laser-part sizes. Verify every stage of the route rather than treating successful loading as proof of process suitability. TRUMPF 202609 brochure, p. 15 and footnote 1
Original screening example: a 260 kg large-format sheet is 30 kg above the listed 230 kg machine limit, even though 260 kg is below the suction-package loading figure. This invented mass comparison demonstrates why handling and processing limits must remain separate. It does not qualify a real sheet or automation cycle.
For removal, establish that the part fits the approved discharge route and can be supported and gripped. Outer dimensions alone do not establish suitability for suction handling when cutouts, formed features or surface conditions alter the contact area.
Qualify the complete result
Set drawing-specific acceptance for punched holes, laser-cut edges, formed features, threads, flatness and cosmetic surfaces. Include representative material, dense patterns, difficult contours and realistic tooling condition in trials. Inspect the final part after removal, not merely the first successful feature.
Retain material grade and thickness, program/nest revision, operation order, tooling, laser/nozzle/gas setup, handling plan and inspection results with the approved route. Maximum stroke rate is a short-increment machine condition, not a part-per-minute promise. Loading, positioning, laser piercing/cutting, tool changes, sorting and inspection all affect throughput.
Use the supplied operating, installation and maintenance documentation for the installed cell. This public reference supplies no universal cutting parameters, die clearance, guaranteed tolerance or scratch-free result for an unspecified part.
