Abstract: A bending machine with a bending information display apparatus has a machine frame, a longitudinally extended, fixed machine table, and a longitudinally extended press beam. The longitudinal expanse and the press beam movement direction define a working plane. An insertion plane essentially normal to the working plane is defined by an upper machine table flat side or a lower tool disposed thereon. The working plane establishes a front working and manipulation space and a closed rear machine space. A projector disposed above the insertion plane in the rear machine space has a light beam path directed away from the insertion plane. A reflector disposed in the working and manipulation space has a first reflective surface pivotable by an angle to the horizontal so that a light beam incident from the projector beam path leaves the first reflective surface as a departing light beam toward the insertion plane.
