Abstract
A press brake comprises at least one driven bending tool, which is adapted to cooperate with a second bending tool. In order to provide a great latitude regarding the bending operations to be performed, the driven bending tool is driven by means of a four-bar linkage, which comprises two crank arms, which are rotatably mounted in a frame, and a link, which connects the crank arms and carries the driven bending tool. An adjusting drive is provided which is power-operable to displace the pivot connecting one of said crank arms to the frame or to change the length of one of said crank arms.
