Abstract
Device for shaping a component, comprising a first tool and a second tool, which can be moved relative to one another along a movement axis to shape a component to be placed between the tools, wherein a surface of the first tool can be extended transverse to the movement axis in an extension region. With the described device and with the described method, components, in particular sheet steel components, can be shaped in such a way that contours that are oriented in parallel to a movement axis of the tools are particularly well formed. In particular circular shapes can thus be formed with particularly good accuracy. Negative influences of fluctuations of the thickness of the component can be offset. The device and the method are particularly suitable for the production of wheel rims for motor vehicles.
