Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0748662A1] The method involves measuring the bending angle of a bending former, generating a demand value (Fs) for the feed force from the measured bending angle (alpha), determining the actual value of the feed force and varying the pressure in a hydraulic cylinder (22) so that the actual value of the feed force follows the demand value. The actual value of the feed force is measured by determining the pressure (P1,P2) in the cylinder on both sides of a piston (23) and determining the force from the pressures taking into account the sizes of both piston surfaces.
