Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0318905A2] In a method for making lock-seamed push-in downpipes, the longitudinal edges of pipe profiles prerounded by forming sheet-metal strip blanks of a certain width and length under bending conditions are set on edge, then brought together to form a seamed connection, whereupon the latter is bent over flat onto the outer circumference of the pipe profile. In order to achieve high surface quality of the downpipes, the seamed connection is formed by forming the longitudinal edges of the pipe profile in several sections under bending conditions, using a rotary tool motion, the pipe profile is transported in the delivery direction by the length of the respectively formed section of the seamed connection and, in the production of the last section of the seamed connection, the pipe profile is widened in this section.
