In a process in roller folding a folding roller is moved against a workpiece. The urging force of the folding roller against the workpiece is resilient, and the folding roller moves in a path along the workpiece by means of a movement device provided with a control system. The urging force is sensed by a sensor, which is integral in or included in the movement device, and the output signal of the sensor is fed to the control system.
