  • the forming die 37 is axially movable relative to the spinning chuck 45 and relative to the pressing element 49. By an axial movement between forming die 37 and spinning mandrel 45, the workpiece 10 can be formed, in particular deep drawing and / or pressing. In this way, a bottom 18 can be formed with a desired contour.
  • the forming die 37 has for this purpose an axial Umformaus Principleung 39.
  • the device 40 comprises one or more forming rollers 52 with which a cylindrical wall region or pipe section 12 can be formed after deep drawing or pressing of the bottom by spin forming.
  • the forming roller 52 is mounted on a roller holder 56.
  • Fig. 11 a shows a blank 8 or a blank-shaped workpiece 10, which serves as the starting workpiece.
  • the workpiece 10 comprises a ronde-shaped portion 6 with a rotation axis 11.
  • the workpiece 10 further comprises a tubular portion 7, which forms a tubular further collar 26 '.
  • the further collar 26 ' extends along the axis of rotation 11 of the workpiece 10.
  • the workpiece 10 is clamped between the spinning chuck 45 and the pressing element 49 or between the spinning chuck 45 and the forming die 37.
  • the clamping takes place in such a way that the further collar 26 'extends in the direction of the spinning chuck 45 and in particular projects into the receiving opening 38 of the spinning chuck 45.
  • the ronde-shaped workpiece 10 is then preformed or deep-drawn by an axial displacement of the forming die 37 relative to the spinning chuck 45, as in FIG Fig. 11b shown.
  • the pressure element 49 can be moved with the forming die 37 at the same time, wherein the spinning chuck 45 is preferably fixed.
  • the pressing member 49 and / or the forming die 37 a bottom 18 is formed in a central region of the workpiece 10.
  • the forming die 37 is axially withdrawn from the spinning chuck 45 and thus removed from the work area, Fig. 11c ,
  • the spinning chuck 45, the pressing element 49 and the workpiece 10 are then rotated about the longitudinal axis 47 in rotation.
  • the workpiece 10 is reshaped with the forming roller 52, wherein an outer region of the workpiece 10 to a cylindrical shape or a cladding region, ie the pipe section 12, is formed, as in Fig. 11d shown.
  • the outer region of the workpiece 10 is for this purpose in Formed in the direction of the further collar 26 ', so that an inwardly projecting, tubular further collar 26' is formed, which extends substantially parallel to the pipe section 12, so the container wall.
  • the forming roller 52 moves for this purpose along the longitudinal axis 47 in the direction in which the further collar 26 'extends from the bottom 18.
  • a post or intermediate heating can be provided during the processing with the at least one forming roller 52.
