METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY MOVING AT LEAST TWO BENDING TOOLS HELD IN A RAIL OF A TOOL HOLDER, AND BENDING PRESS

The invention relates to a method for simultaneously moving at least two bending tools (4, 5, 6) held in a rail (3) of a tool holder, said bending tools (4, 5, 6) forming a row along a rail (3), by means of a transport device (7), in particular to a method for loading a bending press (1) with bending tools (4, 5, 6) and/or for removing bending tools (4, 5, 6) from a bending press (1). In order to be able to pull the bending tools in a row as one and thereby to reduce the effort, the transport device (7) is moved up to the first bending tool (4) in the row in a first direction (11) along the rail (3) and a first portion (8) of the transport device (7) is arranged in a manner extending as far as the last bending tool (6) in the row and coupled to the last bending tool (6) in the row, and the transport device (7) is moved with the row of bending tools (4, 5, 6) in the opposite direction (12) to the first direction (11).
