Abstract
A bending process is controlled for bending a bending body, such as a bending profile. A bending device has a bending unit provided with at least one bending element that executes a defined movement based on a control signal. A data processing process is carried out in which a target geometry of the bent bending body is described in the form of target bending information by comparing at least two coordinate systems. A bending process is carried out, wherein before and/or during the bending process, the control signal controlling the at least one bending element is used on the basis of the target bending information to bend the bending body using the at least one bending element.
Claims15
A method for controlling a bending process for bending a bending body using a bending device comprising a bender and a bending element, the method comprising:
- executing a data processing process comprising:
- describing an item of target geometry of the bent bending body in an intended bending information by comparing at least two coordinate systems;
- and
- executing a bending process, comprising:
- before and/or during the bending process, controlling the bending element by a control signal based on the intended bending information to bend the bending body using the bending element, wherein
- a first coordinate system of the at least two coordinate systems is arranged on or in a static guide section of the bending device, and
- a second coordinate system of the at least two coordinate systems is arranged:
- on the bending body, or
- in a displacement direction of the bending body in the bending device within an action region of the bending element.
A method for controlling a bending process for bending a bending body using a bending device comprising a bender and a bending element, the method comprising:
- executing a data processing process comprising:
- describing an item of target geometry of the bent bending body in an intended bending information by comparing at least two coordinate systems;
- and
- executing a bending process, comprising:
- before and/or during the bending process, controlling the bending element by a control signal based on the intended bending information to bend the bending body using the bending element, wherein
- a first coordinate system of the at least two coordinate systems is arranged at a first action region of a first movable bending element of the bending device,
- a second coordinate system of the at least two coordinate systems is arranged at a second action region of a second bending element of the bending device, different from the first movable bending element, and
- upon movement of the first movable bending element and/or the second bending element, a corresponding movement takes place of the coordinate system assigned to the respective bending element.
