A bending machine includes an upper beam that is movable in the direction of a primary axis (y) of the bending machine relative to a lower beam to form a workpiece which can be inserted between the upper beam and the lower beam via a front side. A position measuring system for measuring and monitoring a respective position of the upper beam with respect to a reference position is provided. The position measuring system is configured such that a linearly movable measuring unit follows a movement of the upper beam in the direction of the primary axis (y) and moves along a stationary linear element. The linearly movable measuring unit is held on the upper beam by a connecting element that is resistant to deformation in the direction of the primary axis (y), and configured to be elastic in the width direction (z) and/or a depth direction (x).

Bending machine, in particular a press brake, with a position measuring system

A bending machine for bending workpieces is disclosed. The bending machine includes a lower beam and an upper beam for forming a workpiece by bending along a bending line. A tool holder for receiving bending tools is provided on the lower beam and each end of the tool holder is associated with a recessed region which is formed in the lower beam overlapping with the respective end. The lower beam includes a central element and at least one side element arranged adjacent to one another in the thickness direction of the lower beam. Recessed regions are provided in the central element and/or in the width direction adjacent to the central element. The lower beam also includes a central region in which, during a bending operation of a workpiece, a force is introduced via the tool holder both into the central element and into the at least one side element.

Bending machine for bending workpieces, in particular a press brake

The invention relates to a workpiece stop, a signal output device for outputting a signal directly perceivable to an operator of a workpiece processing machine from his/her working position, an imaging device for generating at least one image of the interior of a workpiece processing machine, a device for monitoring a processing position of a workpiece, a work-piece processing machine, a use of a device for monitoring a processing position of a work-piece, a use of a workpiece processing machine and a method for processing a workpiece in a workpiece processing machine. These devices and method promote safe and efficient operation of a workpiece processing machine.

Device and method for workpiece processing

The disclosure relates to a tool storage device for a machine tool having a tool storage unit which can be mounted and displaced on a guide rail of the machine tool and is further designed to receive non-mounted tools for the machine tool.
