A forming station (58) has a die (59) configured to form a desired pattern in the strip of sheet metal. A leveling station (86) has a pair of opposed jaws (88, 90) slidably received in corresponding recesses (92, 102) of the stretch-forming press, with the jaws oriented at an angle with respect to a direction of travel for the strip of sheet metal as it passes through the leveling station (86).</p> |
