Discuss Trumpf Bend Machines, AIDA Progress & Megapack Work! 12 May 2023 Giga Texas Update (07:35AM)
In the video intro, I discuss the recent arrival of large Trumpf automated precision metal bending machines and how this may be related to Cybertruck’s stainless steel exterior skin panels. This would be the third of three primary construction machines for the Cybertruck, adding to the already present IDRA Giga Presses and AIDA Stamping presses.

TRUMPF Bending: TruBend Cell 5000 with ToolMaster
The video shows the fully automated TruBend Cell 5000 bending cell with the automatic tool changer ToolMaster. This productive universal bending cell allows the production of up to four components in a single work cycle with consistently high part quality. The ToolMaster ensures an automatic tool change, making the cell even more productive - especially when it comes to night shift.

Are these the machines that use the air to bend or no?

Make engineering great again!

Are these the machines that use the air to bend or no?

Supposedly the TRUMPF TruBend is the machine that has options to use heat & air cushion during the bending process.

Joe Tegtmeyer said that Tesla's Vice President - Vehicle Engineering, Lars Moravy mentioned this to Sandy Munro.
Note: I have not been able to find a link to video of Lars saying this but I kinda recall see it.
If anyone remembers a link to the video maybe they could post the link in this thread.

.....
Joe Tegtmeyer is talking
24:01 wow maybe more it was just incredible but but
I want to get back to this picture real quick this is the the front
24:07 fender this would be the front left fender and it's construction and the way
24:13 it's put onto the vehicle is very interesting to me first of all uh the
24:18 production of these items is upstairs on the third floor and it's again done by
24:24 robots and uh in the Sandy uh interview at the beginning of the interview he
24:30 they actually went to a (job shop metal) fabrication plant to talk about
the "Trumpf" that's
24:37 T R U M P F not "Trump" but "Trumpf" uh it's the Trumpf TruBend bending machines
and they
24:45 are the ones that Lars Moravy talked about as the air benders where they use a
24:51 combination of heating up the elements to the uh the stainless steel to make it
24:56 plastic-ally pliable and then also using the air basically a suspension between
25:02 the tool and the metal itself to do the correct bending well all that's
done by those Trump true Bend machines and way
25:10 back in the 12th of May I actually talked about those I showed you how they worked where they were going and to see
25:17 that in the Sandy interview was really cool to to see them showing how that all worked wow that's great but uh yeah but
25:25 anyway so that's up on the third floor and they do the bending of the metal and the shaping to get the exterior shape
25:31 and then in stamping they stamp out the inner structure and then those are bonded together with adhesive and that
25:37 uh simplifies the bonding process there's no welding there's no bolts there's nothing it's just adhesively
25:43 attached it also prevents galvanic corrosion between the dissimilar Metals which is another benefit and most
25:50 importantly um they have the a fasteners they're basically you know threaded
25:56 screws that are put onto the inner panel and then when the robot picks them up it just positions them right onto the
26:03 castings because the castings are still open at this point even though the interior is in at this point the glass
26:09 is all in uh the uh you know the suspension is all in at this point they
26:16 still don't have the uh the the exterior panel so the the robots are able to pick them up position them and then another
26:23 robot reaches from the inside and bolts them along the sides and on the inside and then it's done um there's another
