Abstract
The invention relates to a bending machine () configured to bend a metallic workpiece (), having a controller () configured to control a bending operation, wherein the controller () has at least one interface () configured to obtain information about a time-dependent springback of the workpiece () to be bent and to obtain a time indication of a subsequent further machining of the workpiece () to be bent, wherein the controller () is configured to calculate an adapted bending angle (α) based on the springback and the time indication, and wherein the bending machine () is configured to bend the bending operation beyond a bending angle (β) to be bent up to the adapted bending angle (α). Due to the adapted bending angle, the workpiece () has the correct bending angle (β) to be bent at the time of subsequent further machining.
