摘要 |
The invention relates to a bending press (1), in particular a press brake, for shaping a sheet metal workpiece, comprising a machine frame (2) with two mutually distanced lateral walls (3, 4), a stationary lower press beam (5) and an adjustable upper press beam (8) on which interacting bending tools can be arranged, and an adjusting drive (10) which is coupled to the machine frame (2) and to the upper press beam (8), said adjusting drive comprising hydraulic cylinders (27) in particular. The lateral walls (3, 4) are plate-shaped, are formed with O-recesses (22), and are arranged parallel to each other, and the upper press beam (8) is arranged at least partly between two upper cross beams (6, 7) which connects the two lateral walls (3, 4). According to the invention, the lower press beam (5) is connected to the lateral walls (3, 4) below the center of the O-recesses (22), and lateral end portions (23) of the upper press beam (8) are each guided above the center of the O-recesses (22) by means of guide elements (24) arranged on the lateral walls (3, 4). |
