ABSTRACT:
In order to improve a bending center comprising a bending unit, a loading device with a feed table for receiving a sheet-metal part to be inserted, and a manipulator arrangement, with which the sheet-metal part can be gripped, moved as well as rotated, in such a manner that handling of the sheet-metal part is as error-free as possible with loading times which are as short as possible it is suggested that the loading device have a sensor, with which the position of the sheet-metal part relative to a defined insertion position into the bending unit can be determined, and that the loading device have a control which controls the manipulator arrangement handling the sheet-metal part with respect to the movement in the first and second directions as well as the rotation about the axis of rotation on the basis of the position of the sheet-metal part determined by the sensor in such a manner that the manipulator arrangement inserts the sheet-metal part into the bending unit in the exactly defined insertion position.
