Abstract:
1. Bending apparatus for flat material parts, comprising: a bending device at which the flat material part is positioned in an insertion plane prior to bending and remains in the insertion plane during bending, a handling device having a positioning axis and having handling axes for picking up the flat material part from a feed position, inserting it into the bending device for bending, taking it out of the bending device and placing it in a deposit position, the positioning axis having a greater positioning accuracy than the handling axes, the positioning axis, when positioning the flat material part in at least one bending position relative to a bending line of the bending device, being aligned parallel to the insertion plane and parallel to a direction extending transversely to the bending line, and, with handling axes rigidly secured, the positioning axis being adapted to transfer the flat material part from a measurement position to the at least one bending position.
