A bending mold for a bending apparatus according to the present invention includes an upper mold (12) and a lower mold (14).

The invention further relates to a bending tool assembly (1), comprising a bending punch (2) and a snaker (3), wherein the bending punch (2) can be moved along a displacement plane (6) relative to the snaker (3).

A directed pintle (13) which is guided inside said forging die (7) and faces the bending base is engaged in a second step.

The punch contacts a sheet-metal part (8) arranged in the bending die (3) along a bending line (9).

The bending press comprises a press bed (2), a bending die (3), and a press beam (4), which can be moved in a traversing direction (7) in relation to the bending die and which has a punch (5).

According to one basic application, the measuring device is integrated into a bending die (24) of a folding press (10) and can measure bending angles (α).

The invention relates to an adaptive adjusting method for a bending tool assembly (1) for air bending sheet metal parts (7), wherein a die width w (12) of the snaker (3) can be varied in a direction normal to the displacement plane (6).

After the pre-deforming the profile is bended by means of a bending arm (46), which is suspended pivotally around the bending die (11).

The snaker comprises a first (17) and second (18) die part, which are connected, independently from each other, detachably normal to the displacement plane (6) and longitudinally displaceably to a bench beam (5).

A bending mold for a bending apparatus according to the present invention includes an upper mold (12) and a lower mold (14).

The invention further relates to a bending tool assembly (1), comprising a bending punch (2) and a snaker (3), wherein the bending punch (2) can be moved along a displacement plane (6) relative to the snaker (3).

The tool is useful as blanking die or tool, deep-drawing die or tool, or bending die or tool.

A directed pintle (13) which is guided inside said forging die (7) and faces the bending base is engaged in a second step.

The punch contacts a sheet-metal part (8) arranged in the bending die (3) along a bending line (9).

The bending press comprises a press bed (2), a bending die (3), and a press beam (4), which can be moved in a traversing direction (7) in relation to the bending die and which has a punch (5).
