专利说明:

The invention relates to a bending tool storage device for storing bending tools, comprising at least one storage unit comprising an outer tool storage, which is annular or semi-annular and has a plurality of guide rails for holding and guiding of bending tools.
The invention also relates to a feeding device, in particular a changing device, for feeding a bending press with bending tools and / or for replacing one or more bending tools used in a bending press, and to a method for depositing at least one bending tool in a storage device and / or for removing at least one bending tool from a storage device.
CH668035A5 discloses a bending press and a mechanism for changing bending tools. Bending tools are suspended in a storage device in each case on a hook. The change takes place by means of a support arm rotatable about a horizontal pivot axis, which receives a single bending tool and transfers it from the tool store into the bending press. A disadvantage of this changing device is that much space must be provided for the movement of the support arm. In addition, the approach and pivoting of the arm in the direction of the tool holder of the bending press requires a complex sequence of movements. In addition, there is a high risk of collision between the support arm and parts of the bending press on the one hand and the tool storage on the other. A large amount of time when changing is also due to the fact that the bending tools only individually, i. can be transferred one after the other.
EP2143506B1 discloses a device for exchanging and assembling a multi-part tool for a press brake. A complex and space-demanding transfer device with a gripper or hook takes Biegewerk-witness from the tool storage and spends it in the bending press. The transfer device is vertically and horizontally movable for this purpose; the hook can be rotated additionally.
Other known from the prior art memory devices have the disadvantage that their storage capacity is very low. That the number of bending tools that can be stored per unit of space in the storage device is limited or collisions between individual bending tools can not be ruled out.
The resulting from the prior art disadvantages therefore exist on the one hand in the complex and space-demanding design of the tool storage and the transfer device, which transfers the bending tools from the tool storage in the bending press. On the other hand, the storage capacity of the tool memory is very limited or requires such tool memory very much space. This results in particular from the fact that (as in CH668035A5) a separate holding structure, e.g. in the form of a hook, is required or that (as in both publications mentioned above) the tool memory must have sufficient (intermediate) space for the retraction of the transfer device. Changing tools can be time-consuming. In addition to an increased risk of collision of the moving parts, including the bending tools and the transfer device, the expense is a disadvantageous factor of known devices.
The object of the invention is to eliminate these disadvantages and to provide a bending tool storage device and / or loading device which can be dimensioned to save space and whose tool storage has a higher storage density, i. can accommodate a higher number of bending tools per room unit. The loading and changing of bending tools should be accomplished in a simple and reliable manner. The danger of collisions should be reduced, preferably completely eliminated. The bending tool storage device or charging device and its operation should be cheaper.
This object is achieved with a storage device of the type mentioned above in that the storage unit comprises at least one inner tool storage, which is arranged within the outer tool storage and has a plurality of guide rails for holding and guiding Biegewerk witnesses, and that the outer Tool store and the inner tool storage are rotatable relative to each other, wherein at least one Fiihrungs rail of the outer tool storage is in different relative rotational positions between the outer tool storage and inner tool storage in each case with another guide rail of the inner tool storage in alignment.
By providing at least one inner tool storage, on the one hand, the storage capacity of the storage device is increased, and on the other hand, the storage and extraction of individual bending tools into or out of the tool stores is simplified. The counter-rotation of the tool train storage allows complex maneuvering operations, in which the bending tools are moved along the guide rails.
The guide rails of the outer tool storage as well as the Fiihrungs rails of the inner tool storage are each spaced by angular distances from each other; The Fiihrungsschienen each extend in a direction from the inside to the outside.
In the case of an annular or partially annular tool storage, the guide rails extend from the inner circumference in the direction of the outer circumference of the tool storage. In the case of a disc-shaped (inner) tool storage from an inner area in the direction of the exterior. The directions in which the Fiihrungsschienen run, thus each have a radial component.
In one embodiment, the guide rails of the outer tool store and the guide rails of the at least one inner tool store each extend in the radial direction (the course direction of the guide rails here has no tangential component) or in a direction with a radial component.
In an alternative embodiment, the guide rails of the outer tool store and the guide rails of the at least one inner tool store each extend in directions with a tangential component. The guide rails also extend in this embodiment from inside to outside, but inclined to the (pure) radial direction. The length of the individual guide rails can be increased by this measure. In this embodiment, the course directions of the guide rails have a tangential component in addition to a radial component. The radial or tangential direction component is in each case based on the ring, partial ring, or disk shape (or the center point) of the respective tool store.
The radial direction or the radial direction component of the guide rails in each case refers to the center, which is defined by the ring shape, partial ring shape or disc shape (or circular shape) of a tool storage. Due to the course of the individual guide rails in each case in the radial direction or in a direction with a radial component, the distance between adjacent guide rails of a tool store increases in the radial direction (i.e., from the inner circumference toward the outer circumference). That adjacent guide rails are at an angular distance from each other (or are not parallel to each other).
The outer tool storage and the at least one inner Werkzeugspei-cher are in a common plane (or can be brought into a common plane), so that a bending tool can be moved from a tool storage in the other tool storage.
With the storage device according to the invention, it is also possible, in succession unterzu bring several bending tools in a guide rail in a row, whereby the storage density of the tool storage is further increased. If a first bending tool is to be extracted or separated from this row, bending tools can be temporarily moved into the respective other tool memory and stored there (temporarily). In addition, the two mutually rotatable tool stores enable bending tools to be moved from one (or a first) guide rail of the tool store into another (or second) guide rail of the same tool store. Such shunting operations are carried out exclusively by shifting operations of bending tools along guide rails and relative rotation (s) between the tool stores.
An advantage of the invention is that during the maneuver, the bending tools remain uninterrupted in guide rails (i.e., do not have to be removed from the guide rails). The transfer of a bending tool from a guide rail (eg of the outer tool storage) into another guide rail (eg of the inner tool storage) is effected in that the two guide rails are brought into alignment with one another (whereby a continuous guide section is created), and by moving the bending tool from one guide rail to the other guide rail. Intermediate steps, which entail the removal of a bending tool from a guide rail and reinsertion, are not required due to the principle according to the invention.
In order to realize a relative movement (rotation) between outer and inner tool storage, it is possible to rotatably form the outer tool storage and / or the inner tool storage. Due to the relative rotation, the guide rail (s) of one tool store can be aligned with different guide rails of the other tool store.
By means of the measure according to the invention, on the one hand the charging process can be accelerated and made more efficient, on the other hand the potential storage density of bending tools in the storage device increases.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the at least one inner tool storage is annular or semi-annular. As a result, it is adapted to the shape of the outer tool storage and can bring together different guide rails in alignment with each other by turning. Such arrangements also increase the storage density.
The outer tool store and / or the inner tool store can each form a closed ring (annular) or a ring open on one side (partially annular). With respect to storage density, annular tool stores (closed ring) are preferred, but for other reasons (e.g., space), semi-annular tool stores may be used. The inner tool storage could be formed instead of a ring shape in the form of a disc.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the at least one inner tool store is arranged concentrically with the outer tool store. The center points, which are defined by the ring shape, partial ring shape or disc shape of the tool stores, coincide. This allows not only a space-saving arrangement but also an increase in storage density. It is also possible to let the tool storage to rotate about a common axis of rotation.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the inner diameter of the outer tool storage substantially corresponds to the outer diameter of the inner tool storage. At best, there is a small gap between the tool stores so that the bending tools can be moved directly from one tool store to the other.
An embodiment is characterized in that the width of the tool storage is different. As a result, preferably shorter bending tools can be stored in the less wide tool storage and longer bending tools in the wider tool storage. The term "width" is understood to mean the (radia-le) extent of a tool storage between its outer circumference and its inner circumference.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the outer tool store and the inner tool store each form a closed ring and that the number of guide rails of the outer tool store larger, preferably at least 1.3 times larger, particularly preferably by at least 1, 5 times larger than the number of guide rails of the inner tool storage. This measure makes the best possible use of the available space and allows more bending tools to be stored (in the external tool storage). It is exploited that the Erstre-ckung of the outer tool storage in the circumferential direction is greater than the extension of the inner tool storage in the circumferential direction. At the same or similar lateral distance to adjacent guide rails more guide rails can be accommodated on the outer tool storage.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the Winkelab stand between adjacent guide rails of the outer tool storage is smaller than the angular distance between adjacent guide rails of the inner tool storage. The angular distance is to be understood as that angle to which the adjacent guide rails are inclined relative to each other.
By this measure, the storage capacity can be significantly increased.
Preferably, in the outer tool storage, the angular distances between adjacent guide rails are each at most as large as a first angle, and are in the inner tool storage, the angular distances between adjacent guide rails each at least as large as a second angle, the second angle is greater than the first angle , By this measure, the storage density can also be increased.
The second angle may in particular be at least 1.3 times, preferably at least 1.5 times, particularly preferably at least 2 times, as large as the first angle.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that shorter bending tools are held in the guide rails of the outer tool store than in the guide rails of the inner tool store. By such a division, the available space can be optimally utilized. The inner tool storage is designed to accommodate larger bending tools, which is ensured by appropriate distance between the guide rails that no collision between bending tools auftre-th. The shorter bending tools are preferably held on the outer tool storage in a position closer to the outer periphery than the inner periphery of the outer tool storage. As a result, collisions are also avoided - with a high storage density at the same time - since the distance between adjacent guide rails in the area of the outer circumference is greater than in the area of the inner circumference of the outer tool store.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the outer tool storage and the at least one inner tool storage are rotatable, preferably about a common axis of rotation. The fact that both tool stores are rotatable by themselves (particularly relative to a frame on which both tool stores are stored) increases the options for maneuvering operations, thereby simplifying and shortening the loading process.
Preferably, the outer tool storage and the inner tool storage of the storage unit each have their own rotary drive. This allows the tool stores to be rotated simultaneously and independently.
In an alternative embodiment, at least two tool stores of the storage unit have a common rotary drive, from which they can be individually coupled off. In this embodiment, at least one rotary drive can be saved. An actuatable clutch provides for the coupling or uncoupling of the tool storage of the rotary drive.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the storage unit comprises at least one sensor, in particular an angle sensor, for determining the rotational position of the outer tool storage and / or of the at least one inner tool storage. This allows automation of storage and loading operations.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that a transfer device for moving the bending tools along the guide rails is arranged within the inner tool storage.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the storage unit comprises at least two inner tool storage, which are rotatable relative to each other. This can further increase the storage capacity. Also, the other or the inner (s) tool storage facilities have from inside to outside running guide rails, which can pass through relative rotation with guide rails of the adjacent tool memory in alignment alignment. A storage unit may also include a plurality of concentrically arranged (partially) annular tool stores.
The object is also achieved with a storage device for storing bending tools comprising at least one storage unit comprising at least one tool storage which is annular or semi-annular and a plurality of guide rails (eg running radially or tangentially in one direction) for holding and guiding bending tools, in particular according to one of the preceding embodiments, in which the at least one tool storage has a first section along its circumference, in which the angular distance between adjacent guide rails is smaller than in a second section along its circumference.
As a result of this measure, the storage density can be increased by arranging more guide rails per angular unit in the second section and therefore also allowing more bending tools to be accommodated. Adjacent guide rails of the second section may be spaced from each other in such a way that in the region of the outer periphery (short) bending tools can be placed side by side (i.e., in adjacent guide rails) without touching each other. In the area of the inner circumference, on the other hand, the lateral distance between adjacent guide rails can already be so small that collisions occur when two bending units are pushed through this area at the same time. The advantage of being able to accommodate more bending tools next to each other in guide rails, however, over-weighs.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that in the first section, the angular distances between adjacent guide rails are each at most as large as a first angle and that in the second section, the angular distances between adjacent guide rails are each at least as large as a second angle, wherein second angle is greater than the first angle. This measure increases the storage density. In the first section more guide rails per angle unit are arranged (as in the second section) and therefore more bending tools can be accommodated. Above all, by the solution according to the invention the fact be taken into account that bending tools have different size and shape. Thus, the first section can be used specifically to accommodate shorter and / or narrower bending tools. On the other hand, longer and / or wider bending tools can be accommodated in the second section. With an appropriate memory strategy, the achievable storage density, ie the number of bending tools per unit of space, can thereby be increased.
It should be noted that the bending tool storage may also have two or more first and / or second sections, which may be e.g. alternate along the circumference of the bending tool memory.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that in the first section, the angular distances between adjacent guide rails are each as large as the first angle and / or that in the second section, the angular distances between adjacent guide rails are each as large as the second angle. As a result, an arrangement of equidistant (i.e., the same angularly spaced apart) guide rails can be achieved in the first and / or second sections.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the second angle is at least 1.3 times, preferably at least 1.5 times, more preferably at least 2 times, as large as the first angle. The packing density in the first section, ie the number of bending tools to be stored per room unit, can thus be increased by the corresponding factor.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that shorter bending tools are held in the guide rails of the first section than in the guide rails of the second section. The arrangement of longer bending tools in adjacent guide rails of the first section leads to no problems, since there is the angular distance between the guide rails anyway larger.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the at least one first section and / or the at least one second section extend over an angular range of at least 30 °, preferably at least 60 °, particularly preferably at least 90 °. As a result, a substantial increase in the storage density can be achieved.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the first section and / or the second section comprise at least 3, preferably at least 5, particularly preferably at least 10, guide rails.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that shorter bending tools are held in guide rails of the first section than in guide rails of the second section, wherein the bending tools are closer to the radial direction than the outer ends of the guide rails closer than the inner ends, preferably are arranged in the region of the outer ends of the guide rails. Such a storage strategy takes into account the size and shape of the bending tools, thereby increasing the achievable storage density.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that in the first section, the distance between the longitudinal axes of adjacent guide rails in the region of their - related to the radial direction - inner ends at least as large, preferably smaller than the dimension of a in one Guide rail of the first section held bending tool perpendicular to the direction of the guide rail. The available space is thereby optimally utilized, in which the guide rails are arranged as close to each other as possible.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the storage device has at least two storage units, which are arranged one above the other and preferably concentric with each other. This can create a bending tool reservoir with a large storage capacity.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the guide rails of a first storage unit and the guide rails of a second storage unit are facing each other. The first storage unit thus represents a lower tool storage and the second storage unit is an upper tool storage. Upper tool and lower tool units are preferably arranged (and according to the arrangement of the tool holders in a Biegepres-se) one above the other.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the storage device comprises at least one clipboard, which has at least one guide rail for holding and guiding bending tools, wherein the clipboard can be moved between the storage units. As a result, a bending press from various storage units with bending tools be sent.
The object is also achieved with a feeding device, in particular changing device, for feeding a bending press with bending tools and / or for replacing one or more bending tools used in a bending press, comprising a storage device according to the invention. The loading device may comprise a transfer device for moving bending tools along guide rails.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the transfer device comprises a shuttle, which can be moved along the guide rail (s) and is preferably guided in the guide rail, in particular in the form of a carriage or carriage.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the transfer device comprises an elongated, preferably flexible tensile and / or pressure transfer means, in particular a belt, a rope, a rod or a chain, and that the shuttle to the train and / or pressure transmitting means is attached. By using a tension and / or pressure transmission means, the traverse drive of the transfer device can be arranged far away from the guide rails. The transfer device can thereby also be designed low-weight and space-saving. The transmission means can be designed for the transmission of tensile or compressive forces or tensile and compressive forces. If the feeding or changing of the bending tools takes place only from one end of the rail, a tension and pressure transmission means is used.
The transfer device, in particular the shuttle, preferably has a releasable coupling for connecting a bending tool. This allows the transfer device not only push the bending tools, but also pull. The clutch has a releasing (released) position and a coupling position and can be actuated by an actuator. The coupling may e.g. be designed as a median i-coupling, magnetic coupling or as a suction device. The coupling can produce a frictional and / or positive connection with the bending tool. The actuator for actuating the clutch may comprise a cylinder-piston unit, a linear drive, a motor, a sub-pressure device and / or an electromagnetic device.
In an alternative variant, the shuttle could also be designed to be self-propelled, wherein the travel drive is arranged in or on the shuttle. The transfer device can be constructed in this way particularly component-saving. The control of the shuttle could be wired, but also by radio.
The object is also achieved with an arrangement of a bending press and a coupled feeding device according to the present invention for feeding the bending press with bending tools, wherein the bending press has a tool holder formed as a guide rail for holding and guiding bending tools. The bending press and the loading device can form a continuous guide section, so that a bending tool can only be transferred from or into the bending press by displacement along guide rails.
The object is also achieved with a method for depositing at least one bending tool in a storage device and / or for removing at least one bending tool from a storage device according to the invention, wherein the at least one bending tool is displaced along guide rails of the tool storage.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the method comprises at least one shunting operation, wherein at least one bending tool is displaced from a guide rail of a tool storage in a Fiihrungsschiene of the other tool storage and in which the outer tool storage and the inner tool storage are rotated relative to each other. The loading or filing process can be greatly simplified
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that shorter bending tools are deposited in the guide rails of the outer tool store than in the guide rails of the inner tool store. By appropriate allocation of shorter and longer bending tools, as already explained above, the number of bending tools to be accommodated can be increased.
A preferred embodiment is characterized in that shorter bending tools are deposited in the guide rails of the first section than in the guide rails of the second section. Here, the tool storage has a first section along its circumference, in which the angular spacing between adjacent guide rails is smaller than in a second section along its circumference.
In another embodiment, at least one outer tool storage guide rail and at least one inner tool storage guide rail are used as a through guide (i.e., not for storing tools). When these two guide rails are aligned, the transfer device can perform the transfer operation of a bending tool from the or from the bending press, where it is moved through the passage guide.
For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

For the sake of the order, it should finally be pointed out that for a better understanding of the construction of the storage device or other components of the invention, these or their components have been shown partially unevenly and / or enlarged and / or reduced in size.
1 shows a bending tool storage device 1 for storing bending tools 2. A storage unit 3 of the storage device 1 comprises an outer tool storage 4 which is annular (alternatively: part-ring-shaped) and a
Variety of radially extending guide rails 14 for holding and guiding of bending tools 2 has.
The storage unit 3 comprises an inner tool storage 5, which is arranged within the outer tool storage 4 and also has a plurality of radially extending guide rails 15 for holding and guiding of bending tools 2. The outer tool storage 4 and the inner tool storage 5 are rotatable relative to each other, wherein at least one Fiih-rungsschiene 14 of the outer tool storage 4 in different relative rotational positions between the outer tool storage 4 and inner tool storage 5 each with another Fiihrungsschiene 15 of the inner tool storage 5 in alignment Alignment stands.
The inner tool storage 5 is also annular (alternatively: partial ring-shaped). The tool storage 4, 5 are arranged concentrically with each other and rotatable about a common axis of rotation 18.
Within the inner tool storage 5, a transfer device 9 for moving the bending tools 2 along the guide rails 14, 15 is arranged. The transfer device (which is shown in detail in FIG. 6) can comprise a shuttle 22 which can be moved along the guide rail (s) and is preferably guided in the guide rail, in particular in the form of a carriage or a carriage.
Likewise, the transfer device 9 may comprise an elongate, preferably flexible, tensile and / or pressure-transmitting means 23, in particular a band, a rope, a rod or a chain. The shuttle 22 is connected to the tension and / or pressure transmission means 23. The transfer device 9, in particular the shuttle 22, preferably has a releasable coupling for connecting a bending tool 2. This allows the transfer device not only push the bending tools, but also pull.
The inner diameter of the outer tool storage 4 substantially corresponds to the outer diameter of the inner tool storage. As can be seen from the preferred embodiment of FIG. 1, the outer tool store 4 and the inner tool store 5 each form a closed ring. The number of guide rails 14 of the outer tool store 4 is larger (here: twice as large) than the number of guide rails 14 Number of guide rails 15 of the inner tool storage 5.
As a result, the angular distance between adjacent guide rails 14 of the outer tool storage 4 is smaller (here: 9 °) than the angular distance between adjacent guide rails 15 of the inner tool storage 5 (here: 18 °). Of course, Figs. 1 and 2 are to be understood as illustrative examples, and is any possible distribution of radially extending or a radial direction component having guide rails possible.
FIG. 2 shows an application in which shorter bending tools 2 are held in the guide rails 14 of the outer tool storage 4 than in the guide rails 15 of the inner tool storage 5.
Fig. 3 shows a memory device 1 which, independently of the embodiment of Figs. 1 and 2 and regardless of the number of tool memories achieves the object of the invention. The storage unit 3 thus comprises at least one tool storage 4, 6, which is annular or partially annular and has a plurality of radially extending guide rails 14, 15 for holding and Füh ren of bending tools 2. The at least one tool storage has along its circumference a first portion 11 in which the angular distance between adjacent guide rails 14,15 is smaller than in a second portion 12 along its circumference.
In other words, the bending tool storage 4 has a first portion 11, in which the angular distances a between adjacent guide rails 14 are each at most as large as a first angle, and a second portion 12, in which the angular spacings .beta. Between adjacent guide rails 14 are each at least as large like a second angle, the second angle being greater than the first angle. In the illustrated embodiment, the angular distances in the respective sections 11, 12 are substantially constant. That in the first portion 11, the angular distances a between adjacent guide rails 14 are each as large as the first angle, and in the second portion 12, the angular spacings β between adjacent guide rails 14 are each as large as the second angle.
In a preferred embodiment, the second angle may be at least 1.3 times, preferably at least 1.5 times, more preferably at least 2 times, as large as the first angle. The bending tool storage 4 of FIG. 3 is annular, but in an alternative embodiment could also be partially annular or disc-shaped.
It is preferred if the first section 11 and the second section 12 extend over an angular range of at least 30 °, preferably at least 60 °, particularly preferably at least 90 °, along the circumference of the bending tool storage 4. It is also preferred if the first section 11 and the second section 12 each comprise at least 3, preferably at least 5, particularly preferably at least 10, guide rails 14.
From FIG. 3 it can be seen that shorter bending tools 2 are held in guide rails 14 of the first section 11 than in guide rails 14 of the second section 12, wherein the bending tools 2 in the guide rails 14 of the first section 11 outer ends of the guide rails 14 are closer than the inner ends. In Fig. 3, they are arranged in the region of the outer ends of the Fiihrungsschienen 14.
It can also be seen from FIG. 3 that in the first section 11, the distance between the longitudinal axes 10 of adjacent guide rails 14 in the region of their inner ends, which are relative to the radial direction, is at most as large (preferably smaller) than the dimension of one in a guide rail 14 of the first section 11 held bending tool 2 perpendicular to the direction of the guide rail fourteenth
In the guide rails of the first section 11 shorter bending tools 2 may be held as in the Fiihrungsschienen the second section 12th
FIG. 7 shows that the outer tool storage 4 and the inner tool storage 5 of the storage unit 3 can each have their own rotary drive 19. These are - as well as the drive of the transfer device - controlled by a control device 24.
In an alternative embodiment, at least two tool stores of the storage unit 3 can have a common rotary drive from which they can be individually decoupled (by means of a coupling, for example a coupling ring).
The storage unit 3 preferably comprises at least one sensor 8 (see FIG. 7), in particular an angle sensor, for determining the rotational position of the outer tool storage 4 and / or the at least one inner tool storage 5.
5 shows a storage device 1, in which the storage unit 3 comprises at least two inner tool stores 5, 6, which are rotatable relative to one another.
4 shows an embodiment with a plurality of storage units 3, 13, which are arranged one above the other and (also here) concentrically with one another.
The guide rails of the tool storage of a first storage unit and the guide rails of the tool storage of a second storage unit are facing each other (see lower part and upper part of Fig. 4).
Also visible is a clipboard 7, which has a guide rail 17 for holding and guiding bending tools 2. The clipboard 7 is movable between the storage units 3, 13 (here: along the double arrow). It is preferred if the clipboard 7 is also rotatable about an axis of rotation 28. As a result, the orientation of a bending tool or a series of bending tools arranged one behind the other can be changed (by 180 °). The assembly of the bending tools and the loading of the bending press are thereby extended by a further option.
The object shown in the left-hand part of FIG. 7 represents a loading device, in particular a changing device, for loading a bending press 20 with bending tools 2 and / or for exchanging one or more bending tools 2 used in a bending press 20 The tool holders 21 of the bending press are at the same time guide rails along which the bending tools are moved to their desired position.
With the storage device according to the invention, a method for depositing at least one bending tool 2 in a storage device 1 and / or for removing at least one bending tool 2 from a storage device 1 can now be carried out.
