This could indeed be clamped on both sides due to the relatively narrow, vertical design of the front, upper gripper arm already workpieces, which were relatively short in the vertical direction with respect to the bending region. However, this was not sufficient in some applications.
- the object of the present invention is also to enable the handling and manipulation of metal sheets or already partially formed workpieces at ends of sheets or already formed legs of workpieces located in the vicinity of the front surface of the clamping jaws without losing the strength of the clamping jaws too weak in their clamping area.

Thus, a force transmission from both jaws 5, 6 are exercised over the clamping length in the X direction on the sheet or the workpiece 2. Furthermore, it is still possible that a plurality of second manipulators 45 are provided in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the clamping jaws 5 or 6.
- the at least one recess 39 is arranged only in the lower jaw or 5. Regardless, it would also be possible to provide the arrangement of the recess 39 only in the upper jaw 6 and the upper jaws 6. Usually, however, the recess 39 is formed exclusively in the or the lower jaws 5.
- an end region of the support table 32 facing the clamping jaws 5, 6 can be adjusted with its support surface from a position located in the support plane 33 into a position located outside the support plane 33. This can be done for example by folding or swinging away by means not shown adjusting means or actuators. If the at least one second manipulator 45 is not in use, this is with its support surface 47 outside the support plane 33 of the support table 32, as indicated in Fig. 3 in dotted lines. This is usually a folded-down position of the second manipulator 45.
- the at least one second manipulator 45 can furthermore be arranged laterally with respect to the end region of the support table 32 facing the clamping jaws 5, 6, which or which can likewise be designed to be pivotable or hinged , If the end region of the support table 32 is also brought into the position located outside the support plane 33, a free space is created in which the at least one second manipulator 45 can be moved. Since the at least one second manipulator 45 with its support surface 47 is usually located in a position below and thus outside the support plane 33, it can be adjusted for its use with its support surface 47 into a position of the support surface 47 located in the support plane 33 , in particular, be pivoted.
- the at least one second manipulator 45 can be displaced relative to the support table 32 in the support plane 33 relative thereto.
- the at least one second manipulator 45 on the support table 32 in particular a frame frame thereof, can be adjustably held and adjusted by means of adjusting means not shown in more detail.
- the at least one second manipulator 45 it would also be possible for the at least one second manipulator 45 to be formed by a partial area of the support table 32 in the region of its support plane 33.
- the support table 32 relative to the bending machine 3 independently of the rest of the support table 32 by means of further adjusting means adjustable in the support plane 33 form.
- the clamping length between the jaws 5, 6 in "X" direction remains almost unchanged, since the second manipulator 45 in its inserted into the recess 39 position and with correspondingly matched dimensions (height 46 of the recess 39 and thickness 49 of the second manipulator 45th ) Also in the region of the recess 39, a clamping of the sheet or the workpiece 2 between the jaws 5, 6 is possible.
- FIGS. 1, 2, 3 can form the subject of independent solutions according to the invention.
- the relevant, inventive Corresponding tasks and solutions can be found in the detailed descriptions of these figures.
