Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1216768A1] The assembly to shape metal sheets has a stretching mold (5) with a number of drillings (4), to carry compressed air (6) through vertically into the workpiece laying surface (8). The compressed air forms an air cushion (7) between the mold surface and the under side (11) of the metal sheet workpiece (2). The compressed air drillings are arranged in a uniform array. The drillings can be only in selected zones, to give a partial air cushion formation.
