Abstract
During the bending of sheet metal sections () in particular for forming can edges using a bending machine, the sheet metal is pre-treated at a flexing station () before reaching the bending station. The contact position (x, y, y') of a sheet on a measuring plate () is measured and the signal representing the contact position is reproduced on a display (), enabling the operator to adjust at least one element () of the flexing station in accordance with the deviation of the actual contact position from the target contact position, either manually or by means of a drive. The signal can also be used to automatically adjust at least one element of the flexing station.
