Abstract

A forming device and a method for forming an inner rim of an annular round blank. The forming device has a lower tool with a movable die and an upper tool arranged opposite the lower tool along a working axis A. By means of the die, the annular round blank is moved out of a transport plane T and into a forming position U towards the upper tool and into the interior of a holding sleeve. Subsequently, the inner rim is formed with the aid of a forming tool. After forming, the annular round blank is moved out of the forming position U and back into the transport plane T by means of the lower tool and/or the upper tool. The forming device and the forming method can occur while the round blanks are being fed to an embossing station while being transported by a revolving table.
