The present subject matter relates to an assembly layout (1) and a method for controlling the stroke of a stroke tool (2). The assembly layout includes a control device (3) including a position controller (4) and a force controller (5) acting together with a, controllable hydraulic valve (6) for the stroke tool (2). The hydraulic valve (6) is connected downstream of the position controller (4) and of the force controller (5), and converts control signals from the position controller (4) and from the force controller (5) into stroke motions of the stroke tool (2) by means of a stroke cylinder (12). The assembly layout (1) further comprises a tensile force measurement sensor (7) for measuring the tensile force acting on the stroke tool (2) and a stroke mechanism position measurement sensor (8) for measuring the position at which the stroke tool (2) is located.
