  • the counterpart to this is a complementary component which can be moved in a sled shape, the actual bending shape of the part to be bent being determined by the space between the fixed and the movable molded part of the bending device.
  • These separate shaped and counter-shaped parts of the bending device not only have to be manufactured separately, but they also have to be set to the desired positions in the bending process to be carried out in each case. This adjustment work is time-consuming, and for the production of the shaped and counter-shaped parts which determine the bending shape, a considerable amount of material and time is additionally required.
  • angle brackets which are anchored in a concrete bed, are arranged in such a way that they have an arrangement, for example comprises a plurality of angular brackets which are arranged in the manner of a template which is curved in accordance with the component to be produced. Aligning and arranging the brackets to form such a template is time consuming and the work required to do this must be done by hand.
