In the straightening of radial run-out faults or linearity faults on elongate workpieces having at least one toothed region having peaks and troughs of the teeth of said toothed region, such as on toothed shafts or toothed racks, for ascertaining deviations from the ideally straight workpiece, the locations of the surfaces of the not yet straightened workpiece that form a reference plane are scanned at least at points or in portions on or in the region on the active reference circle or pitch circle, respectively, of the toothing that lies between the peaks and troughs of the teeth. The resulting measured items of data are utilized by the straightening machine such that a workpiece that is as ideally straight as possible at least in the toothed region is achieved by the straightening. The elevated locations of the tooth heads of the toothed region that form the peaks of the teeth and the elevated locations of neighboring tooth surfaces that lie in the reference plane are detected, and the height differentials of the elevated locations of the tooth heads in relation to the elevated locations of neighboring tooth surfaces that lie in the reference plane are ascertained. The height differentials are utilized by the straightening machine as corrective measured items of data such that said height differentials are considered when straightening the workpiece so as to form a workpiece that is as ideally straight as possible in the reference plane.

A method for calibrating a metal profile blank configured as a hollow-chamber profile having at least one solid wall. A pressing tool is closed in a main direction about one end region of an element of the profile blank until surfaces of the pressing tool lie against a pair of surfaces of the profile blank to be calibrated, deforming and bending the at least one end region of the element. The pressing tool is closed in a secondary direction perpendicular to the main direction until surfaces of the pressing tool lie against surfaces of the at least one end region, and wedge-like limbs of a drive element of the pressing tool engage wedge-like dies of the pressing tool. The pressing tool is closed further in the secondary direction, subjecting the profile blank to plastic deformation so as to reduce or eliminate the bending of the end region.

The invention relates to method for straightening a workpiece (1) with a longitudinal axis, wherein the workpiece (1) is bent out of a starting position transversely to the longitudinal axis and bent back again. In order to provide advantageous straightening conditions, it is proposed that the workpiece (1), which is held on the end side in mounting heads (6), is bent out by means of the mounting heads (6) in directions changing at least in predetermined angular ranges, and bent back again.
