A method of cutting an extruded profile

The present invention relates to a method for cutting a hollow-shaped extruded profile in the press flow, wherein the extruded profile is bent after the press outlet simultaneously with or immediately after the forming extrusion process by a transversely acting to the extrusion direction of the extrusion force, a force component as a tensile or compressive force acts forming extrusion process on the cross sectional area of ​​the resulting profile walls, which is characterized in that the curved extruded profile is cut in the press flow by the mechanical action of a saw, wherein the force applied when cutting the extruded profile is compensated by a voltage applied to the extruded profile support device in such a way that a deformation of the bent extruded profile section is prevented, wherein the extruded profile consists of an aluminum alloy or a magnesium alloy and when cutting a Te mperature in the range 200 ° C-600 ° C.
