Abstract
A roller hemming apparatus for robot-supported roller hemming with a manipulator, as well as with a roller hemming apparatus, is described. The apparatus includes a frame, a first roller and a second roller which, when in operation, contact two opposite sides of a workpiece, and at least one first actuator mechanically coupled to the frame and to at least one of the first and the second rollers and controlled so that opposing process forces that are applied over the first and the second rollers and that lie approximately along one effective line of force are applied to the workpiece at opposite sides.
