Abstract (en)

A thin walled body is deformed in a process in which the body gripped securely in a holding station and, whilst gripped in the holding station, tooling (10) engages to deform the peripheral wall of the body at a predetermined wall zone. The tooling (10) is provided at a tooling station (9) which is adjacent the holding station (3) during deformation. The predetermined wall zone is co-aligned with the tooling (10) by rotation of the body about an axis prior to securing at the holding station (3). <IMAGE>
