<p>A method of producing products is proposed. Semi-finished products are supported between a pair of elongate, parallel carriers. Each semi-finished product is to be shaped by pressing it into a finished form. Each semi-finished product is connected to at least one of the carriers by a deformable element. Deformation of the deformable element allows the semi-finished product to approach or move away from that carrier. Thus, when the semi-finished product is shaped by pressing, deformation of the deformation element allows the semi-finished product to move relative to that carrier, so that unwanted tensions are relieved. Accordingly, the semi-finished product does not twist undesirably. The product may be an electric terminal. <IMAGE></p> |
