Summary The invention relates to a production system (1) for producing workpieces (2) from sheet metal by means of forming. The production system (1) comprises a bending machine (3), a support table (32) which defines a support plane (33), and a manipulation device (39) with a support arrangement (40) and a holding arrangement (43). The holding arrangement (43) has an upper holding unit (44) and a lower holding unit (45) cooperating therewith.

Fig. 2 1/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 The invention relates to a manufacturing system for manufacturing workpieces from sheet metal, in particular by forming by means of a bending process. DE 28 39 978 A1 describes a generic manufacturing system for manufacturing workpieces from sheet metal by means of forming the same. The production system includes a bending machine, a support table and a manipulation device. The bending machine in turn comprises a fixed machine frame and an upper and a lower clamping bar held thereon, one of the clamping bars being adjustable relative to the machine frame in order to keep the workpiece to be clamped between the clamping jaws arranged on the clamping bars at least during the bending process. The support table defines with its support surface a support level for the sheet or the workpiece to be manufactured. The manipulation device comprises a support arrangement and a holding arrangement, the holding arrangement having an upper holding unit and a lower holding unit cooperating therewith. The support arrangement is C-shaped and encompasses the sheet to be manipulated with its two legs, which are connected to one another by means of a vertical connecting web. The entire support arrangement is adjustable in the vertical direction with respect to the bending area defined by the clamping jaws. The disadvantage here is that a solid support arrangement is to be moved as a whole unit for the manipulation of the sheet. In addition, direct access from the loading side is blocked by the connecting web and, in addition, the freedom of manipulation between the holding units and the connecting web is limited by the leg lengths. 2/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 Another generic production system is described in DE 196 21 658 A1. This also includes a bending machine, a support table and a manipulation device. The bending machine in turn comprises a fixed machine frame and an upper and a lower clamping bar held thereon, one of the clamping bars being adjustable relative to the machine frame in order to keep the workpiece to be clamped between the clamping jaws arranged on the clamping bars at least during the bending process. With its support surface, the support table defines a support plane for the sheet metal or the workpiece to be produced. The manipulation device comprises a support arrangement and a holding arrangement, the support arrangement being held on the machine frame and located above the support plane. On the support arrangement, the entire holding arrangement is adjustably guided thereon in a vertical direction with respect to a bending area defined by the clamping jaws and comprises an upper holding unit and a lower holding unit cooperating therewith, the two holding units forming a type of gripping pliers. The position of the holding units can also be adjusted jointly around a vertically oriented axis of rotation. The disadvantage here is that one of the holding units protrudes beyond the support level and that the manipulation space is not uninterruptedly available for the arrangement and manipulation of the sheet or the workpiece. The object of the present invention was to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a production facility by means of which a user or an automated feed device is able to easily load the bending machine with the sheet to be processed or the like machining workpiece without being able to make disruptive parts of the manipulation device. Furthermore, the manipulation speed is to be increased by reducing the moving masses. This object is achieved by a device according to the claims. The manufacturing plant according to the invention is used to manufacture workpieces from sheet metal, in particular by forming, the manufacturing plant comprises: a bending machine with a fixed machine frame, one 3/34 N2016 / 26800-AT-00 lower clamping beam with at least one lower clamping jaw held thereon, and an upper clamping beam with at least one upper clamping jaw held thereon, one of the clamping beams being adjustable relative to the machine frame in order to at least produce the workpiece to be produced during the bending process between the to hold both clamping jaws, a support table, the support table with its support surface defining a support plane for the sheet metal or the workpiece to be produced, a manipulation device with a support arrangement and with a support arrangement, the support arrangement comprising an upper holding unit and a lower holding unit cooperating therewith, and wherein the manipulation device for the manipulation of the sheet or the workpiece to be manufactured is adjustable from an open insertion position into a clamping position clamping the sheet or the workpiece, and the support arrangement has its own above re support unit and its own lower support unit, the upper support unit is arranged above the support level, the lower support unit is arranged below the support level, the upper holding unit is arranged on the upper support unit, the lower holding unit is arranged on the lower support unit, and further in an open insertion position of the manipulation device for the sheet metal to be manipulated or the workpiece to be produced, and in a loading area in front of the bending machine, the upper support unit with the upper holding unit is arranged completely above the support level and the lower support unit with the lower holding unit is arranged completely below the support level. The advantage achieved thereby is that the support arrangement is formed by an independent upper support unit and an independent lower support unit, which support units are arranged on both sides, namely once above and once below the support plane. This spatial, vertical separation of the support units from one another also makes it possible to hold the holding units arranged on the support units for the clamping holding of the 4/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 Also arrange the sheet metal or the workpiece in such a way that the upper holding unit is arranged completely above the support level and the lower holding unit is arranged completely below the support level. Sufficient manipulation space can thus be created between the holding units in the front area of the bending machine, which is uninterruptedly available for picking up and manipulating the sheet metal or the workpiece to be machined. This makes it possible for an operator or for another manipulation device of the production system to move the sheet metal to be processed or the workpiece to be processed further unimpeded from the front or loading side of the bending machine into the area of the support table and to be able to feed it by means of their own manipulation device. Furthermore, the spatially separated arrangement of the two support units with the holding units arranged thereon enables the sheet metal or the workpiece to be further processed to be detected and clamped in the movement range or handling range of the manipulation device. In addition, however, the clamping point or clamping area of the manipulation device on the respective sheet or workpiece can also be freely selected in the area of action of the manipulation device without taking into account possible collisions of the sheet or workpiece with parts of the manipulation device. Furthermore, it can be advantageous if the upper holding unit is adjustably guided on the upper support unit. As a result, a clear travel path of the upper holding unit can be defined on the upper carrying unit. Another embodiment is characterized in that the upper holding unit is designed to be adjustable in the vertical direction with respect to a bending area defined by at least one of the clamping jaws and in the parallel direction with respect to the support plane. This allows a clearly predefined travel path and a clear travel direction of the upper holding unit to be defined relative to the bending machine. 5/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 A further possible embodiment has the features that the lower holding unit is guided in an adjustable manner on the lower supporting unit. In this way, a clear predetermined travel path of the lower holding unit on the lower supporting unit can be determined. A further embodiment provides that the lower holding unit is designed to be adjustable in the vertical direction with respect to a bending area defined by at least one of the clamping jaws and in the parallel direction with respect to the support plane. In this way, a clearly predefined travel path and a clear travel direction of the lower holding unit can be defined relative to the bending machine. Another embodiment is characterized in that the upper holding unit and the lower holding unit are guided together and can be adjusted synchronously with one another. Due to the synchronous and simultaneous adjustment of the two holding units on the supporting units assigned to them, a faultless manipulation of the sheet or the workpiece can nevertheless be carried out by the two otherwise independent holding units. The common and synchronous adjustment or adjustment movement can be carried out by coordinated drive units by means of predefined adjustment movements in the machine control. A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the upper holding unit has at least one upper holding element and the lower holding unit has at least one lower holding element. By providing separate holding elements on each of the holding units, a defined holding effect can be exerted on the sheet metal or workpiece. Furthermore, the mass of the components required for the manipulation can also be kept relatively low. Furthermore, it can be advantageous if at least one of the holding elements can be pivoted about an axis of rotation oriented in the vertical direction with respect to the support plane. This can be used in addition to a rectilinear adjustment N2016 / 26800-AT-00 movement, the intended bending line on the sheet or workpiece can also be reoriented with respect to the bending area defined by the clamping jaws. This reorientation can be carried out by rotating the sheet metal in a parallel position with respect to the support plane, so that the reorientation can be carried out in the smallest space. For carrying out the turning and / or swiveling operation of the sheet metal, the same can preferably be lifted or lifted slightly in the vertical direction with respect to the support plane before the swiveling operation is carried out. Another alternative embodiment is characterized in that at least one of the holding elements is designed to be adjustable in the vertical direction with respect to the support plane in the direction of the other holding element arranged opposite each other with respect to the support plane. As a result, the height of the respective holding elements can be adapted to the respective position of the sheet or workpiece to be manipulated. Another possible and possibly alternative embodiment has the features that the lower holding unit further comprises a lower support element, and the lower support element on the lower support unit is adjustable in a vertical direction with respect to a bending area defined by at least one of the clamping jaws and in a parallel direction with respect to the support plane is led. By providing at least one lower support element, even better support of the sheet or workpiece to be machined can be achieved. In addition, it is not only possible to provide additional support for the sheet metal or workpiece that is being machined, but also to simultaneously and independently of this use the holding elements to pre-position a sheet metal or workpiece to be subsequently machined. As a result, downtimes of the bending machine can be further reduced and the economy of the same can be increased further. A further embodiment provides that the lower support element is designed to be adjustable in the vertical direction with respect to the support plane in the direction of the upper support unit arranged opposite to the support plane. This allows a height adjustment of the holding elements to the current 7/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 The position and position of the sheet or the workpiece to be processed can be done easily. Another embodiment is characterized in that the lower holding element is guided to be adjustable on the lower support unit independently of the lower support element. This enables an even more economical manipulation process to be achieved and machine downtimes can also be reduced. A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that at least one of the holding units, in particular the upper holding unit, has a toggle lever arrangement, by means of which toggle lever arrangement the at least one holding element is designed to be adjustable in the vertical direction with respect to the support plane from the open insertion position into the clamping position. By providing a toggle lever arrangement, a simple mechanical clamping of the sheet or workpiece between the holding elements can be created. Furthermore, it can also be used to reduce the clamping forces to be applied or necessary to reduce or press forces. Furthermore, it can be advantageous if the upper support unit is arranged on the machine frame and / or on the upper clamping bar. The mass of moving parts for carrying out the manipulation processes can thus be reduced. Furthermore, the system outlay for otherwise customary supporting structures can also be reduced. Finally, another embodiment is distinguished by the fact that the lower support unit is arranged on the machine frame and / or on the lower clamping bar. This also enables a space-saving and massive mounting of the lower support unit to be achieved. In addition, however, the masses moved to carry out the manipulation movement can also be kept relatively low. For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures. 8/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 Each show in a highly simplified, schematic representation: 1 shows a bending machine of a production plant, with the support tables removed and the manipulation device removed, in a front view; FIG. 2 shows the production system according to FIG. 1, with a manipulation device indicated in a simplified manner, in a side view; 3 shows a possible design of the manipulation device, in a stylized representation, in a side view; Fig. 4 shows a possible design of a holding unit, in a stylized representation, in side view. To begin with, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, and the disclosures contained in the entire description can be applied analogously to the same parts with the same reference numerals or the same component names. The location information selected in the description, e.g. above, below, to the side, etc., referring to the figure described and illustrated immediately, and if the position is changed, these are to be applied accordingly to the new position. The term “in particular” is understood in the following to mean that it may be a more specific training or more specific specification of an object or a method step, but does not necessarily have to represent a mandatory, preferred embodiment of the same or a procedure. 1 to 4 show a manufacturing system 1 and components thereof in a highly schematically simplified illustration, which in the present case is designed in particular for the swivel bending or swing bending of workpieces 2 to be produced from sheet metal. A metallic material is used as the starting material, which in its undeformed state as 9/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 Flat material or flat element can be called. The production system 1 can also be referred to as a swivel bending system or an oscillating bending system. The manufacturing system 1 used for the bending in the present case comprises a bending machine 3, in particular a press, which is designed, among other things, for the clamping holding of the workpieces 2 or workpieces to be manufactured from the sheet metal between a clamping tool 4 that is adjustable relative to one another. In the present exemplary embodiment, the clamping tool 4 comprises at least one lower clamping jaw 5, but mostly preferably several lower clamping jaws 5 and at least one upper clamping jaw 6, but mostly preferably several interacting upper clamping jaws 6. The lower clamping jaw (s) 5 can also be used as a lower beam and the or the upper jaws 6 can also be referred to as the upper cheek. In such a bending machine 3, the coordinate system is basically referred to as the “X” direction, the direction which extends in a horizontal plane and in a vertical orientation with respect to the longitudinal extent of the clamping jaws 5, 6. Thus, this is the direction which also corresponds to the feed direction or the removal direction. The “Y” direction is understood to mean the vertical direction, which thus runs in the height direction of the clamping jaws 5, 6. Finally, the “Z” direction is understood to be that direction which extends in the longitudinal direction or in the longitudinal extent of the clamping jaws 5, 6. The longitudinal extent of the bending edge, which will be described later, is also aligned in the “Z” direction. These directions ("X", "Y" and "Z") also define spatial axes. The at least one upper clamping jaw 6 is arranged above the workpiece 2 to be manufactured on the bending machine 3 and is also held there sufficiently, in particular clamped. The at least one lower clamping jaw 5 is also held, in particular clamped, on the bending machine 3. 10/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 A machine frame 7 of the bending machine 3 comprises, for example, vertically projecting from a base plate 8, spaced apart from one another and oriented parallel to one another, 10. These are preferably connected to one another at their end regions spaced from the base plate 8 by a solid transverse structure 11, for example formed from a sheet metal molded part , The machine frame 7 is usually a solid component of the bending machine 3, which is preferably fixed on a flat hall floor. The shape shown here has been chosen only as an example for a large number of other possible designs. The side cheeks 9, 10 can preferably be approximately C-shaped in order to form a free space for the shaping of the workpiece 2, a fixed lower clamping bar 13, in particular on the base plate 8, being attached to front end faces 12 of legs of the side cheeks 9, 10 near the floor is, which can also be called a press beam. This preferably fixedly arranged and fixed lower clamping bar 13 can also be referred to as a clamping table, on which parts of the clamping tool 4 (in particular the lower clamping jaws 5) are also arranged and also held thereon. On the front end faces 14, an upper clamping bar 16, in particular a pressure bar, which is relatively adjustable relative to the lower clamping bar 13, is mounted in a manner in the clamping bar guides 15 on the legs removed from the base plate 8. The clamping bar guides 15 are mostly designed as linear guides in a wide variety of embodiments. This upper clamping bar 16 can also be referred to as a press bar, which, however, is guided on the machine frame 7 such that it can be displaced relative to it. Clamping jaw receptacles 19, 20 for fitting with the one or more clamping tools 4, in particular the lower and upper clamping jaws 5, 6, can be arranged on mutually opposite, mutually parallel end faces 17, 18 of the two clamping bars 13, 16. The one or more clamping tools 4 can also be held on the clamping jaw receptacles 19, 20 with the interposition of an adapter, not shown. 11/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 The bending machine 3 shown can have at least one drive means 22 operated with electrical energy as the drive arrangement 21 for the adjustable upper clamping bar 16, namely the pressure bar. The one or more drive means 22 are connected to a control device 24 fed from an energy network 23. The operation of the bending machine 3 can be controlled, for example, via an input terminal 25 connected to the control device 24. The drive means 22 are preferably electromotive spindle drives 26, as are generally known, of which actuating means 27 for a reversible actuating movement of the upper clamping bar 16 formed by the pressure bar are, for example, drive-connected to the latter. However, other drive means 22 known from the prior art, such as e.g. Cylinder-piston arrangements, stepper motors, rack drives or the like can be used. Further details required for the operation of such a bending machine 3, such as, for example, safety devices, stop arrangements and / or control devices, are dispensed with in the present description in order to avoid an unnecessary length of the description. Furthermore, it is shown here in a simplified manner that the two clamping bars 13, 16, in particular their tool holders 19, 20, or the clamping tool 4 held thereon with its or its lower and upper clamping jaws 5, 6, when viewed in the longitudinal direction of the clamping beams 13, 16 define an adjustment plane 28 extending therebetween. The adjustment plane 28 preferably runs centrally with respect to the clamping bars 13, 16 or the clamping jaw receptacles 19, 20 arranged thereon. In the present exemplary embodiment, a vertically oriented plane is understood here, which is of the two directions or axes described above, namely the “Y” axis and the "Z" axis is spanned. The two clamping jaws 5, 6 form a clamping region 29 between them and at ends facing each other. Lower and upper clamping surfaces 30, 31 of the two clamping jaws 5, 6 facing each other are before 12/34 N2016 / 26800-AT-00 moves at right angles to the adjustment plane 28. These clamping surfaces 30, 31 serve to keep the sheet metal, depending on its wall thickness, positioned between the two clamping jaws 5, 6 for carrying out the bending process. An additional support table 32 with its support surface defining a support plane 33 is preferably arranged in the region of the front side or the loading side of the bending machine 3. The support level 33 can also be referred to as the support level. It should be mentioned that the support surface does not have to be formed over the entire surface but can also be formed from a plurality of support partial surfaces arranged next to one another and / or one behind the other in the feed direction of the sheet to be processed. The support surface defined by the support plane 33 is preferably arranged in the same plane as the lower clamping surface 30 of the lower clamping jaw 5. This serves as additional support in the case of large-area sheets in order to avoid unintentional kinking and, in turn, damage in the case of thinner sheets. A bending area 34 is understood to mean that area which serves to form the workpiece 2 to be produced from the mostly flat, undeformed sheet or to further process an already pre-deformed workpiece 2 by at least one additional bend being formed. The bending region 34 is mostly spaced from the adjustment plane 28 of the clamping beams 13, 16 and is formed by mutually facing end sections of at least one, but preferably both clamping jaws 5, 6. In the present exemplary embodiment, the bending region 34 is arranged on the side of the clamping beams 13, 16 facing away from the support table 32 or an operator (not shown in detail). The bending region 34 is thus arranged to run within the machine frame 7. The bending area 34 usually forms a preferably straight bending line on the workpiece 2 to be produced, legs being formed on both sides of the bending area 34 as a result of the bending process carried out. One of the legs of the workpiece 2 is in a clamping position between the two 13/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 Clamping surfaces 30, 31 of the clamping jaws 5, 6 are held, the at least one further leg being arranged outside the clamping surfaces 30, 31. Depending on the desired or to be produced geometry of the workpiece 2, the two legs enclose a bending angle between them. This bending angle is measured in a reference plane aligned perpendicular to the bending line. For its part, the reference plane is furthermore preferably also oriented with respect to the adjustment plane 28 in a vertical direction. It should be mentioned that the machine frame 7 of the bending machine 3 is only shown in a very simplified manner, it also being possible to use different embodiments. For example, the machine frame 7 or the machine body can be designed with a free stand passage. In this case, the jaw receptacles 19, 20 could be accommodated between the side cheeks 9 or side parts. With a different design of the machine frame 7 or the machine body, no free stand passage is possible, as a result of which the clamping jaw receptacles 19, 20 cannot be received between the side cheeks 9, 10 or side parts. To carry out the bending process, the bending machine 3 of the production system 1 also comprises a bending unit 35, which can also be referred to as a bending unit or forming unit. A possible embodiment of the same is indicated in a simplified manner in FIG. 2 and, depending on the bending process to be carried out, can be adjusted relative to the machine frame 7. For the sake of clarity, the illustration of the bending unit 35 and its components has been omitted in FIG. 1. The sheet metal, which is pre-positioned and clamped between the two clamping jaws 5, 6, can be formed, in particular bent, to form the workpiece 2 by a bending process, in particular a bending process, along the bending line forming the bending region 34. Depending on the folding to be carried out of the sheet held clamped between the clamping jaws 5, 6 for the production of the workpiece 2, either the lower clamping jaw 5 or the upper clamping jaw 6 forms the folding region and thus 14/34 N2016 / 26800-AT-00 from the bending area 34. Thus, the lower jaw 5 forms or has a first forming edge. The upper clamping jaw 6 forms or has a second forming edge. The two previously described clamping surfaces 30, 31 of the clamping jaws 5, 6 define a workpiece support plane 36 for the workpiece 2 to be produced in a mutually abutting position. The workpiece support plane 36 is preferably arranged in the vertical direction at the same height as the support plane 33 defined by the support table 32 , The two planes are preferably aligned parallel to one another and can be arranged in a common plane. The bending unit 35 can have one or more bending tools 37, which can be arranged on a bending beam 38. The bending beam 38 can be adjustable relative to the machine frame 7 on bending beam guides (not shown in more detail) by means of a bending beam drive. However, it would also be possible to provide only one bending tool 37 which can be pivoted parallel to the bending region 34, which depending on the desired bending direction can be arranged once above the workpiece support plane 36 and once below the workpiece support plane 36 and the end of the bending tool 37 provided for bending in each direction is oriented towards the bending area. Furthermore, FIGS. 1 and 2 show in a simplified manner that the production system 1 can also include a manipulation device 39 for manipulating mostly flat sheets or pre-bent workpieces 2 to be further processed. The manipulation device 39 will be described in more detail below. The manipulation device 39 in turn comprises a support arrangement 40 with its own upper support unit 41 and its own lower support unit 42. A separate support unit 41, 42 is understood here to mean that it is fundamentally independent of one another. The upper support unit 15/34 N2016 / 26800-AT-00 can in turn be arranged directly on the machine frame 7 and / or also on the upper clamping bar 16 and can preferably be connected in an understanding manner. The lower support unit 42 can in turn also be arranged directly on the machine frame 7 and / or also on the lower clamping bar 13 and preferably connected to it in an understanding manner. The two support units 41, 42 preferably protrude from the bending machine 3, in particular its machine frame 7, onto the side or direction facing away from the bending region 34 in the direction of the operating side or loading side. Furthermore, the two support units 41, 42 are arranged at a distance from one another in the vertical direction, that is to say in the vertical direction with respect to the workpiece support plane 36 or the support plane 33. The mechanical connection or mutual support and support of the two support units 41, 42 is formed by the machine frame or the machine frame 7. The support plane 33 defined by the support table 32 is thus not cut or penetrated by any of the support units 41, 42. In this way, a large free operating space or insert space can be created in the feed area. It is also provided here that the upper support unit 41 is arranged above the support level 33 and the lower support unit 42 is arranged below the support level 33. In this way, at least in a loading area or feed area located in front of the bending machine 3 and in an open insertion position to be accommodated for the sheet to be manipulated or the workpiece 2 to be manufactured, the upper support unit 41 is arranged completely above the support plane 33. With the same open insertion position for inserting the sheet or the workpiece 2, the lower support unit 42 is arranged completely below the support plane 33. Furthermore, the manipulation device 39 also includes a holding arrangement 43, which holding arrangement 43 can in turn comprise an upper holding unit 44 and a lower holding unit 45. In order to achieve a clamping effect for the sheet to be manipulated or the workpiece 2, the two holding units 44, 45 are designed or provided to work together. Working together 16/34 N2016 / 26800-AT-00 it is understood that the two holding units 44, 45 are designed and arranged relative to one another or can be arranged relative to one another such that a sufficient clamping effect can be exerted on the sheet metal located between the two holding units 44, 45 for its manipulation , So the two holding units 44, 45 could also be referred to as clamping units. The manipulation device 39 is designed to be adjustable for the manipulation of the sheet or the workpiece 2 to be produced from an open insertion position into a clamping position clamping the sheet or the workpiece 2. In particular, at least one of the holding units 44, 45 is adjusted in the direction of the other holding unit 45, 44 arranged opposite each other. In the present exemplary embodiment, the upper holding unit 44 is arranged on the upper carrying unit 41 and the lower holding unit 45 on the lower carrying unit 42. Furthermore, it is also provided that the holding units 44, 45 arranged on the respective support units 41, 42 in an open, retracted position of the manipulation device 39 to be accommodated for the sheet to be manipulated or the workpiece 2 to be produced, and in a loading area in front of the bending machine 3, once completely above the Support level 33 and once completely below the support level 33 are arranged. Since the upper holding unit 44 is arranged on the upper support unit 41, this is also in the above-described open insertion position completely above the support plane 33. The same also applies to the arrangement of the lower holding unit 45 on the lower support unit 42, the lower one then Holding unit 45 is arranged completely below the support plane 33. This also ensures that, at least in the open, retracted position, none of the holding units 44, 45 intersects or projects over the support plane 33. It can also be provided that the upper holding unit 44 is adjustably guided on the upper support unit 41. In this case, an adjustment direction can preferably be selected in which the upper holding unit 44 is defined in a vertical direction with respect to that of at least one of the clamping jaws 5, 6 17/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 Bending area 34 and adjustable in the parallel direction with respect to the support plane 33 and is also guided. For the sake of clarity, the representation of a drive unit has been omitted. It is also advantageous if the lower holding unit 45 is also adjustably guided on the lower support unit 42. Again, an adjustment direction can be selected here, in which the lower holding unit 45 is designed to be adjustable and also guided in a vertical direction with respect to the bending region 34 defined by at least one of the clamping jaws 5, 6 and in a parallel direction with respect to the support plane 33. The drive units are not shown for the sake of clarity. Due to the spatial separation of the two support units 41, 42 with the respective holding units 44, 45 arranged thereon, the two holding units 44, 45 are to be guided jointly and synchronously adjustable relative to one another in each case on a guide arrangement which is not specified. This enables safe manipulation of the sheet or the workpiece 2 to be further processed. As can now be seen better from FIG. 3, the components of the manipulation device 39 previously shown in simplified form are shown in a larger scale and also in a stylized simplified form in this illustration. The manipulation device 39 shown here in simplified and stylized form comprises the support arrangement 40 with the upper support unit 41 and the lower support unit 42. Each of the two support units 41, 42 is arranged on a machine frame 7 and / or on one of the clamping bars 13, 16, which is only indicated schematically. For the sake of clarity, the attachment has not been shown. As already described above, the upper support unit 41 can either be arranged and fastened directly on a component of the fixed machine frame 7 or else on the upper clamping bar 16. If the upper carrying unit 41 is fastened to the upper clamping bar 16, the upper carrying unit 41 makes all the adjustment movements of the upper clamping bar 16. Here, the design of the actuating movements of the upper holding unit 44 in relation to the position of the 18/34 N2016 / 26800-AT-00 sheet metal or workpiece 2 to be machined. The lower support unit 42 can also be arranged either directly on the machine frame 7 and / or also on the lower clamping bar 13, in particular fixedly attached to it. It would also be possible for the support unit 41, 42 to be fastened directly to the machine frame 7, but to be arranged in its position in front of the clamping bar 13, 16. In this case, penetrations or openings adapted to the selected fastening means are to be provided in the clamping bar 13 and / or 16, so that on the one hand the fastening is ensured and on the other hand the unobstructed adjustment movement of the clamping bar 13 and / or 16 can be carried out by the bending machine. The upper holding unit 44 comprises at least one upper holding element 46, which serves or is designed to be able to come into clamping contact with the sheet metal or the workpiece 2. The lower holding unit 45 in turn comprises at least one lower holding element 47. The two holding elements 46, 47 are shown in simplified form and, together with the respective holding unit 44 and / or 45, can be in a vertical direction with respect to the bending region 34 defined by at least one of the clamping jaws 5 and / or 6 as well as in the parallel direction with respect to the support plane 33 on the respective support unit 41, 42. This is shown in simplified form by double arrows. The holding elements 46, 47 can be designed in a wide variety of ways and basically serve to make contact with one flat side of the sheet or workpiece 2. Furthermore, it would be possible to support the holding elements 46, 47 with the interposition of a spring element or pressure element on the sheet or workpiece. It would also be possible to provide a contact head of the holding element 46, 47, which comes into contact with the sheet metal or the workpiece 2, with at least one suction inlet, which suction inlet is in line connection with a vacuum generator. Another option would be 19/34 N2016 / 26800-AT-00 still in equipping the contact head with a magnet, so that those materials which can be attracted to a magnet can be held on the respective holding element 46, 47 for manipulation by means of the magnetic holding force. In order to be able to change the orientation of the sheet or workpiece 2 to be fed in relation to the bending region 34, at least one of the holding elements 46, 47 can be designed to be pivotable or rotatable about an axis of rotation 48 and / or 49 aligned in the vertical direction with respect to the support plane 33. In this exemplary embodiment, the upper holding element 46 has the upper axis of rotation 48. The lower holding element 47 in turn has the lower axis of rotation 49. For the mutually clamping mounting of the two holding elements 46, 47, these are each brought into contact with the sheet metal or the workpiece 2 to be machined, a preferably aligned alignment of the two axes of rotation 48, 49 being provided here. To carry out the rotational or swiveling movement of at least one of the holding elements 46, 47, this can be equipped with a swivel drive (not shown in more detail) or be in drive connection therewith. By means of sensitive controls, the extent of the pivoting of the sheet or workpiece 2 to be carried out about one of the axes of rotation 48 and / or 49 can be transferred exactly to the pivot drive. Furthermore, it is also shown that at least one of the holding elements 46 and / or 47 is designed to be adjustable in the vertical direction with respect to the support plane 33 in the direction of the other holding element 47, 46 arranged opposite each other with respect to the support plane 33. This is also indicated by double arrows. It is also shown in the area of the lower support unit 42 that a lower support element 50 can be arranged thereon. The lower support element 50 can represent a component of the lower holding unit 45. The un20 / 34 N2016 / 26800-AT-00 tere support element 50 serves to provide an additional support effect for the sheet or workpiece 2 to be machined. Furthermore, the support element 50 on the lower support unit 41 can be guided in an adjustable manner on a guide arrangement. The adjustment movement is preferably carried out in a vertical direction with respect to a bending area 34 defined by at least one of the clamping jaws 5, 6, and in a parallel direction with respect to the support plane 33. For the sake of clarity, corresponding guides and drive components have not been shown. Furthermore, the adjustment movement of the lower support element 50 can preferably take place independently of the adjustment movement of the lower holding element 47. It should be mentioned that the lower support element 50 can also be designed and arranged in such a way that it too is arranged completely below the support plane 33 in the open, retracted position of the manipulation device to be manipulated for the sheet metal to be manipulated or the workpiece to be produced, and in a loading area in front of the bending machine a support surface formed by the support element 50 is arranged lying in the support plane 33. It would also be possible for at least a partial component of the lower support element 50 to be adjustable in the vertical direction with respect to the support plane 33 in the direction of the upper support unit 41 arranged opposite with respect to the support plane 33. A height adjustment for the sheet to be supported or the workpiece 2 to be machined can thus take place. This adjustment movement of the sub-component of the support element 50, which is possible in the vertical direction, can take place independently of the adjustment movement of the lower holding element 47 taking place in the same direction. Because the lower holding element 47 is adjustably guided on the lower support unit 42 independently of the lower support element 50, an independent adjustment movement can also be carried out. The lower support element 50 can also serve to support the sheet metal, which is clamped between the two clamping jaws 5, 6 for the bending process, or the workpiece 2 to be processed further on the side of the clamping jaws 5, 6 facing away from the bending region 34. In the meantime, from the 21/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 Manipulation device 39 with the two holding units 44, 45 already another sheet or workpiece 2 to be machined in the area of the support table 32 for the subsequent bending process. A pivoting process can also be carried out by at least one of the holding elements 46, 47 in order to arrange the sheet or workpiece 2 in such a way that the intended bending line on the sheet or workpiece 2 is aligned approximately or already exactly parallel to the bending region 34 , If the bending process is carried out on the sheet or workpiece 2 that is already clamped between the clamping jaws 5, 6, this can be removed laterally or in a parallel direction with respect to the bending area 34, for example by pushing it away, and immediately thereafter the already prepared and prepositioned further sheet or workpiece 2 from the holding units 44, 45 are placed between the open jaws 5, 6 for carrying out the subsequent bending process. But it would also be conceivable that e.g. the upper holding unit 44, in particular its upper holding element 46, does not interact with the lower holding element 47 for clamping the sheet metal or the workpiece 2, but rather with the lower support element 50. The adjustment movement or adjustment direction of the two holding units 44, 45 on the respective support units 41, 42 preferably takes place exclusively in the “X” direction. The height-adjustment movement of the holding elements 46, 47 and optionally the lower support element 50 preferably takes place exclusively in the “Y” direction. The previously described complete arrangement of the respective support unit 41, 42 and of the holding units 44 or 45, which are adjustably arranged thereon, either above the support plane 33 or below the support plane 33, is to be understood as meaning that when the sheet metal to be processed is evenly located in the support plane 33, is not dominated by either of the two components or component components described above. It is essential that there is no mutual connection between the two support units 41, 42 in the feed area or loading area located in front of the clamping jaws 5, 6, and so on 22/34 N2016 / 26800-AT-00 there is sufficient free space in an uninterrupted manner. The two support units 41, 42 are formed independently of one another and are each held separately or separately from one another on the bending machine 3 or fastened thereto. FIG. 4 shows a possible and possibly independent arrangement or design of one of the holding units 44 and / or 45, which may possibly represent an independent solution in itself. To avoid unnecessary repetition, reference is made to the detailed description in the previous FIGS. 1 to 3 or reference. Furthermore, the same component designations are used for the same parts as in the previous FIGS. 1 to 3. The adjustment movement in the “Y” direction to be carried out by the holding unit 44, 45, in particular its holding elements 46, 47, can be implemented, for example, by a toggle lever arrangement 51 in cooperation with a longitudinal guide arrangement 52. The holding unit 44, 45 in turn comprises a base frame 53, on which the holding element 46, 47 is guided in an adjustable manner. The toggle lever arrangement 51 comprises a first toggle lever 54 and a second toggle lever 55. The two toggle levers 54, 55 are connected to one another in an articulated manner at ends facing one another. The further end of the first toggle lever 54 facing away from the common connection area of the two toggle levers 54, 55 is fixed to the base frame 53, but is articulated, for example by means of a bracket 56. A further end of the second toggle lever 55 facing away from the connecting region of the two toggle levers 54, 55 is connected in an articulated manner to the holding element 46, 47 to be adjusted. In the connection area between the first toggle lever 54 and the second toggle lever 55, an adjusting lever 57 is articulated or articulated. An actuating element 58 is also guided on the base frame 53 and can also be adjusted in the “Y” direction. The actuating lever 57 is also articulated to the actuating element 58. In the fully extended position of the first toggle lever 54 shown here 23/34 N2016 / 26800-AT-00 and the second toggle lever 55, for example, the adjusting lever 57 can assume a parallel alignment with respect to the support plane 33. Furthermore, it is also shown that the control element 58 is in drive connection with an control element 59, for example a ball screw spindle or the like, by means of the control element 59 the control element 58 can be adjusted in a “Y” direction along the base frame 53. Due to this adjustment movement and the arrangement of the actuating lever 57 between the actuating element 58 and the two articulated levers 54, 55, which are articulated to one another, a displacement of the holding element 46, 47 can be achieved when the actuating element 58 is moved to the side facing away from the support plane 33. If the holding element 46, 47 is adjusted in the “Y” direction and on the side facing away from the support plane 33, the clamping effect of the holding element 46, 47 can be canceled by the sheet metal or the workpiece 2. In the case of an opposite adjustment movement of the adjusting element 58 in the direction of the support plane 33, the holding element 46, 47 is moved into its clamping position and brought into contact with the sheet metal. It should be noted that the design and arrangement of the components described above has only been shown in an exemplary and highly stylized manner. The adjustment movement of the holding elements 46 and / or 47, which usually takes place or has to be carried out in the vertical direction, could also be carried out by rack drives, cylinder piston arrangements, cam adjustments or other drive mechanisms. The exemplary embodiments show possible design variants, it being noted at this point that the invention is not restricted to the specially illustrated design variants of the same, but rather also various combinations of the individual design variants with one another are possible and this variation possibility is based on the teaching of technical action through the present invention Ability of the specialist working in this technical field. 24/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 The scope of protection is determined by the claims. However, the description and drawings are to be used to interpret the claims. Individual features or combinations of features from the different exemplary embodiments shown and described can represent independent inventive solutions. The object on which the independent inventive solutions are based can be found in the description. All information on value ranges in the objective description should be understood to include any and all sub-areas, e.g. the information 1 to 10 is to be understood in such a way that all sub-areas starting from the lower limit 1 and the upper limit 10 are also included, i.e. all sub-areas begin with a lower limit of 1 or greater and end with an upper limit of 10 or less, e.g. 1 to 1.7, or 3.2 to 8.1, or 5.5 to 10. For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that, for a better understanding of the structure, elements have been partially shown to scale and / or enlarged and / or reduced. 25/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00 LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS manufacturing plant 31 upper clamping surface workpiece 32 support table bending machine 33 support plane Tightening tool 34 bending area lower jaw 35 bending unit upper jaw 36 Workpiece support plane machine frame 37 bending tool baseplate 38 bending beam side cheek 39 manipulation device side cheek 40 support assembly cross-dressing 41 upper support unit Front face 42 lower support unit clamping bar 43 holding assembly Front face 44 upper holding unit Clamping bar guide 45 lower holding unit clamping bar 46 upper holding element face 47 lower holding element face 48 upper axis of rotation Jaw recording 49 lower axis of rotation Jaw recording 50 lower support element drive arrangement 51 Toggle assembly drive means 52 Longitudinal guide arrangement energy grid 53 base frame control device 54 first toggle input terminal 55 second toggle spindle drive 56 console actuating means 57 lever adjusting plane 58 actuator clamping range 59 actuator lower clamping surface 26/34 N2016 / 26800 AT-00
