Embodiment Construction
[0027] see first figure 1 , the machine embodying the invention is for example a steeple-shaped bending and forming machine and comprises a series of three drive rolls 1, 2 and 3, at least one of which is a deforming roll. The elongated workpiece to be bent (eg, tube T) passes the drive rollers in the direction indicated by arrow F. For ease of illustration, rollers 1 and 3 are fixed in their positions, while roller 2 is adjustable in its vertical position and can be controlled by the machine to move based on retroactive control in the vertical direction. An encoder 4 is associated with the vertically adjustable roller 2 and the encoder for measuring the displacement of the tube T through the series of rollers 1 , 2 and 3 is indicated at 5 .
[0028] A non-contact rangefinder, generally indicated at 6, is fixed in its position, eg comprising a laser transmitter, which provides the distance d relative to the bend leading from the machine. For convenience, the vertical alignme...
