Abstract
The invention concerns a bending tool (6) with an actuating element (19) accessible outside the tool receptacle, with coupled to it a locking element (20) with a locking catch (21) for securing the bending tool (6) in the tool receptacle. The first end portion (32) of the actuating element (19) has an actuating face (33) arranged on the end side and the second end portion (34) of the actuating element (19) has an actuating recess (35).The invention further concerns a gripping device (14) for manipulating a bending tool (6), comprising a first gripping arm (59) and a second gripping arm (60) displaceable relative to the first gripping arm (59) in the clamping direction (64), said gripping arms (59) being formed to engage in a gripping groove (23, 24) of the bending tool (6) and to clamp the bending tool (6). Also formed is an unlocking member (65) for actuating an actuating element (19) of the bending tool (6), said unlocking member (65) being longitudinally displaceable normally to the clamping direction (64) relative to the gripping arms (59, 60).
