Abstract
A method and a device for producing holes in the circumference of a hollow shape, with a wall piece being separated as a slug from the hollow shape in an internal high-pressure mold and being jammed without projecting relative to the outer circumference of the hollow shape in a previously produced hole. In order to remove the slug produced during punching in simple fashion from the internal high-pressure mold, the separated slug is jammed at a fluid pressure that is reduced relative to an internal high fluid pressure without loss via a punch and can separate the slug following removal of the finished hollow shape from the internal high-pressure mold, from the hollow shape, finally clearing the hole.
