A roll-forming or bending machine is provided for forming an angled or rounded and simultaneously tapered hollow body or similar workpiece from a material blank. The machine has at least one tapered roll and at least one counter element, between which a forming pressure can be applied to the material blank. The one counter element has an elastic surface and is constructed as a bending table for supporting the material blanks, so that the one or more rolls apply forming pressure on the material blank on the bending table. The bending table is guided so that it can move in the longitudinal direction and can rotate about a rotational axis, and the rolls can move perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, allowing a change in the relative position of the roll and rotational axis of the bending table caused by a rotational movement of the bending table to be compensated.
Roll-forming or bending machine (1) for forming at least one angled or rounded and simultaneously tapered hollow body or workpiece from a material blank, the roll-forming or bending machine (1) comprising at least one tapered roll (2) and at least one counter element, between which a forming pressure is applied to the material blank and of which at least the at least one counter element has an elastic surface, the at least one counter element comprises a bending table (3) for supporting the material blank, the at least one roll (2) is adapted to apply a deforming pressure to the material blank arranged on the bending table (3), the bending table (3) is guidably supported for movement in a longitudinal direction and can also rotate about a generally vertical rotational axis (5) and the at least one roll (2) can move perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, such that a change in a relative position of the at least one roll (2) and the rotational axis (5) of the bending table (3) caused by a rotational movement of the bending table (3) can be compensated.
