Claim:
A plate workpiece processing tool comprising: a workpiece support defining a support plane for supporting a workpiece; a tool punch holder; a tool die holder, the tool punch holder and the tool die holder being tool holders to which different tools can be secured; a roll-forming tool that is securable to the tool punch holder and to the tool die holder for producing, by roll-forming, a formed shape in the workpiece that extends upwardly or downwardly from the support plane of the workpiece support; a punching tool comprising a tool punch that is securable to the tool punch holder and a tool die that is securable to the tool die holder; and a control unit configured to replace the roll-forming tool with the punching tool and configured to control movements of the tool punch holder and the tool die holder along a stroke axis via a tool drive in communication with the control unit, such that the roll-forming tool, when secured to the tool punch holder and to the tool die holder, can produce, by roll-forming, the formed shape in the workpiece that extends upwardly or downwardly from the support plane of the workpiece support, and such that the tool punch and the tool die, when respectively secured to the tool punch holder and the tool die holder, are displaceable, along the stroke axis, to a processing position above or below the support plane of the workpiece support such that the tool punch and the tool die are capable of processing a region of the workpiece having the formed shape that extends upwardly or downwardly from the support plane of the workpiece support.
