Bending machine for flat materials has machine frame open on one short side for material insertion and simplified bending tool carrier

摘要

The machine has a machine frame (10), which is open on at least one of its short sides (98,100), in longitudinal direction (14) of the bending edge and between top and bottom clamping bars (64,24), for the insertion of flat material in longitudinal direction. The bending tool (110,310) is moveable at right angles to the clamping plane. In all possible bending positions, the bending tool carrier (112,312) remains on that side of the clamping plane only, on which the starting position of the bending tool is located.
