Maschine für die Bearbeitung von Werkstücken, insbesondere von Blechen, mit wenigstens einer Biegestation sowie wenigstens einer Fügevorrichtung

摘要

The machine is equipped with at least one joining device for carrying out at least one joining operation on the workpiece. The drive mechanism for the positioning stopper in the bending station is used to move the joining device into a working position and/or to move the joining device relative to the workpiece during at least one joining operation. An Independent claim is also included for a machine with at least one bending station in which the bending tool is formed by upper and lower tools, the upper tool support being movable up and down in order to move the workpiece relative to the lower tool. The machine also contains at least one joining device and a workpiece retaining device for holding the workpiece during joining. The retaining device has at least one workpiece holder which is raised or lowered by the upper tool in the bending station, enabling the workpiece to be supported and fixed against a counter-bearing during joining.
