Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014047669A1] The invention relates to a method for bending a workpiece (1) consisting of sheet metal, wherein a deformation region (6), particularly a strip-shaped region, on the workpiece (1) containing the bent edge (5) to be produced is heated before and/or during the bending process to a deforming temperature below the fusion temperature of the metal to increase deformability locally. In order to reduce undesirable deformations as a result of shrinkage stresses, the workpiece (1) is heated before and/or during and/or after the bending process in at least one heating zone (11) that is different from the deformation zone (6), by means of the application of energy from outside the workpiece (1), proceeding from an initial temperature to a treatment temperature below the fusion temperature of the metal.
