Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2020267A1] An improved method for cold drawing of rod and tube material has the workpiece pressed between two dies (2, 4) to the required flange shape. An inner drive shaft (3) with grip profiles (14) drives the workpiece axially to push additional material into the forming zone (10) to compensate for subsequent relaxing of the material and to achieve the required profile in one operation. The axial drive can be in either direction.
