Abstract
During the bending of sheet metal sections () for forming can bodies by means of a bending machine, the sheet metal characteristics of the individual sheets are measured, e.g. the thickness and/or the strength of the sheets. The measured value is used to control the bending machine (). This permits a substantially constant bending result to be achieved, even with varying sheet metal characteristics.
