Abstract

A method produces a bent part from an elongate workpiece, in particular from a wire or a tube from round, flat, or profiled material, by a bending machine, the workpiece is fed to a bending unit of the bending machine, wherein the bending unit has a bending head which by a Z-drive is displaceable in a manner parallel with a bending head axis and has a bending tool which by a bending drive is rotatable about a bending axis. A fed portion of the workpiece by operating movements of the bending head is formed to a two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally bent part.
