A process for the preparation of structural and chassis components by thermoforming and heating station

A process for the production of particular structural or chassis components (14) for a vehicle by hot forming, wherein a sheet metal blank (10) in a heating station (1) is heated at least in a first region (19) from a starting temperature to a target temperature, wherein the sheet metal blank (10) relative to the heating station (1) is stationary within the heating station (1) heated to the target temperature and the heating station (1) at least a burner zone (2, 3) with at least one burner (4), in which the sheet metal blank (10 ) is heated in at least a first region (19) from the initial temperature to the target temperature, wherein at least a burner (4) (with a fuel gas a) and an oxygen-containing gas (B) is operated, and the sheet metal blank (10) in direct contact with the burner flame (5) is, wherein the heating to the target temperature in the heating station via the nozzle orientation and / or the distance of the combustor rduse after which the sheet metal blank (10) in a continuous furnace (17) is transported and homogenized, and then the hot sheet metal blank (10) is transferred into a cooled compression mold (18) and formed therein, and press-cured is affected to the sheet metal blank.
