METHOD AND TOOL DEVICE FOR FORMING

摘要

The invention relates to a tool device for forming a section of a body. The device includes at least one moveable retaining device and at least one forming punch moveable in the direction of the retaining device. The section to be formed is arranged between the retaining device and the forming punch. The forming punch during the forming is moved from an initial position into a defined end position relative to the section to be formed. In order to limit the construction space and the forces to be applied, the tool device includes a wedge element which is in contact with the retaining device and/or a die such that a movement of the wedge element effects a movement of the retaining device and/or of the die in the forming direction. Furthermore, a forming method is provided with the aid of the tool device.
