The invention relates to a bending tool storage device () for storing bending tools (), comprising:

Bending tool storage device and method for feeding a press brake

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.

The invention concerns a bending tool () with an actuating element () accessible outside the tool receptacle, with coupled to it a locking element () with a locking catch () for securing the bending tool () in the tool receptacle. The first end portion () of the actuating element () has an actuating face () arranged on the end side and the second end portion () of the actuating element () has an actuating recess (). The invention further concerns a gripping device () for manipulating a bending tool (), comprising a first gripping arm () and a second gripping arm () displaceable relative to the first gripping arm () in the clamping direction (), said gripping arms () being formed to engage in a gripping groove () of the bending tool () and to clamp the bending tool (). Also formed is an unlocking member () for actuating an actuating element () of the bending tool (), said unlocking member () being longitudinally displaceable normally to the clamping direction () relative to the gripping arms ().

The invention is characterized in that the first gripper finger (), when positioned in the gripping recess (), and the adjustable second gripper finger (), when positioned in a release position, do not contact the actuating element () and that the adjustable second gripper finger () contacts the actuating element () in a gripping position.

Handling system for bending tools

The invention relates to a production plant () comprising a brake press () having press beams (), slot-shaped tool holders () disposed and/or arranged on the press beams (), bending tools (), a tool magazine () for at least one bending tool (), a first manipulation device () for transporting the bending tool () between the tool magazine () and the tool holders (), and a second manipulation device () for positioning the bending tool () in the tool holder (). The second manipulation device () comprises at least one traction means () guided via two deflection means (), on which traction means () at least one pusher element () is disposed. The bending tool () has a slot () extending in a direction () parallel with a bending edge () through which the at least one traction means () is run. The at least one slot () is further dimensioned such that the at least one pusher element () cannot be run through the slot ().

Tool set-up system for a brake press

The invention relates to a tool magazine () for a manipulator () comprising a plurality of tool holding fixtures () which are distributed in a preparation area (), especially in a substantially vertical preparation plane (). The tool magazine (), on one side () of the preparation area (), comprises a first access opening () facing the manipulator () and, on the other side () of the preparation area (), a second access opening () facing an operator () and the first access opening () is associated with a first protective device () and the second access opening () is associated with a second protective device ().

The invention relates to a production system () for free-form bending. It includes a bending press () with bending tools () which are interchangeably held in tool holders (), a manipulator () with gripping tongs () having gripping fingers (), and a recess () disposed in the bending tool () with stop regions () disposed at a distance apart from one another for manipulating the bending tool (). Additional contact surfaces () are provided on ends () of the gripping fingers () on sides of the gripping fingers () facing away from one another. The ends () of the gripping fingers () are inserted in the recess () in order to hold the bending tool (). The contact surfaces () are pressed against the stop regions () in the direction opposite the clamping force for holding the workpiece () to be produced.
