Abstract: A handling device is provided. The handling device has a holding unit which has at least one holding element with which the part to be bent which is to be received and is arranged on a loading surface can be gripped on one of its flat sides by forces acting in a pulling manner on one side of the flat side at a plurality of successive locations in the longitudinal direction, that the holding unit for its part can be pivoted relative to a pivoting carrier unit about a first pivot axis parallel to the longitudinal direction, that the pivoting carrier unit can be pivoted relative to a pivoting carrier base about a second pivot axis which extends parallel to the first pivot axis, that the pivoting carrier base can be moved by means of a carrier base moving unit in a direction transverse to the second pivot axis.

Abstract: To improve a bending apparatus for flat material parts, comprising a bending device at which the flat material part is positioned in an insertion plane prior to bending and remains in the insertion plane during bending, and a handling device having handling axes for picking up the flat material part from a feed position, inserting it into the bending device for bending, taking it out of the bending device and placing it in a deposit position, so that the bending apparatus requires as little constructional expenditure as possible, it is proposed that the handling device comprise a positioning axis, that the positioning axis have a greater positioning accuracy than the handling axes, that, when positioning the flat material part in at least one bending position relative to a bending line of the bending device, the positioning axis be aligned parallel to the insertion plane and parallel to a direction extending transversely to the bending line, and that, with handling axes rigidly secured, the flat material part

Abstract: In order to improve a material-working machine for flat material parts, comprising a machine frame, processing tools held on the machine frame, a supporting unit, on which the flat material part can be placed for feeding to the processing tools in at least one main feed direction, and a controller for controlling a processing sequence using the processing tools, in such a way that it can be operated in an ergonomically favorable manner, it is proposed that the supporting unit extends in the main feed direction from a region toward the tool to a region remote from the tool and that the extent between the region toward the tool and the region remote from the tool is variably adjustable.

Abstract: The invention concerns a bending machine comprising a machine frame, an upper bar equipped with a tool and a lower bar likewise equipped with a tool, the upper bar and the lower bar being mounted mutually mobile on the frame. The machine comprises at least one drive means for moving the tools of the lower and upper bars towards each other, so as to shape a plate-shaped part to be machined located between said tools. The invention aims at providing that the force exerted by the tools of the lower and upper bars should be the highest possible, at the least possible cost.
