The invention relates to a method and a forming machine suitable for manufacturing a product having various diameters from a workpiece, such as a metal cylinder or plate, in which the workpiece is clamped down in a clamping device, the workpiece and a first tool are rotated about an axis of rotation relative to each other, the workpiece is deformed by means of said first tool by placing the tool into contact with the workpiece and moving the workpiece and/or the tool in a direction along the axis of rotation. At least a second tool is placed into contact with the workpiece at a position behind the first tool, seen in the working direction, and the workpiece is also deformed by means of said second tool. Thus, parts of the workpiece that have been deformed by the first tool are deformed by one or more subsequent tools practically immediately.

1. A method for manufacturing a product having a constant diameter or various diameters from a workpiece, in which the workpiece is clamped down in a clamping device, the workpiece and a first set of forming rollers are rotated about an axis of rotation relative to each other, wherein the rollers of the first set take up a first same axial position with respect to the work piece, wherein the workpiece is deformed by means of said forming rollers by placing the forming rollers into contact with the workpiece and moving the workpiece and/or the forming rollers in a direction along said axis of rotation, wherein at least a second set of forming rollers positioned at a second same axial position with respect to the work piece is placed into contact with the workpiece at a position behind the first set of forming rollers, the workpiece also being deformed by means of said second set of forming rollers and wherein two or more forming rollers, each being of a different set and taking up a different axial position with respect to the work piece, are mounted on a common holder and said holder is tiltable about a tilting axis toward and away to said axis of rotation wherein said tilting axis crosses said axis of rotation during the working of the workpiece into a selected shape. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein at least a third set of forming rollers are placed into contact with the workpiece at a position behind the second set of forming rollers. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first and second set of forming rollers each comprise two or more forming rollers, between which the workpiece is retained while being worked. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the workpiece is formed into a finished or semifinished product in only one working cycle. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein a tensile force is exerted on the workpiece. 6. The method according to claim 5, wherein said tensile force is varied during said working. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the first or second set of forming rollers is adjusted in a radial direction during said working. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the workpiece has an open end, which end is closed by means of the forming rollers. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the workpiece is a plate-shaped body, and wherein the central axis of the common holder is pivoted relative to the axis of rotation. 10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the first and second set of forming rollers are moved relative to each other during said working. 11. The method according to claim 9, wherein the edge of the workpiece is supported at least during part of the operation. 12. The method according to claim 1, wherein the workpiece comprises a metal cylinder or plate. 13. The method of claim 1 wherein the common holder is radially adjusted during the working of the workpiece. 14. A forming machine suitable for manufacturing products which forming machine comprises at least a clamping device for clamping down a workpiece, a first set of forming rollers, which can be placed into contact with the workpiece while being worked, means for rotating the workpiece and the first set of forming rollers about an axis of rotation relative to each other, and means for moving the workpiece and/or the first set of forming rollers in a direction along said axis of rotation, and at least a second set of forming rollers disposed behind said first set of forming rollers, which can be placed into contact with the workpiece and wherein two or more forming rollers associated with different sets of forming rollers are mounted on a common holder such that perimeters of adjacent forming rollers at least partially overlap and wherein the first set of forming rollers are spaced apart from the second set of rollers such that the first and second sets of rollers do not contact each other and said holder is pivotally mounted in or on the forming machine in such manner as to be capable tilting toward or away from said axis of rotation such that a tilting axis of the holder crosses said axis of rotation during the forming process of the workpiece. 15. The forming machine according to claim 14, comprising at least a third set of forming rollers disposed behind said second set of forming rollers. 16. The forming machine according to claim 14, wherein the first and second sets of forming rollers each comprise two or more forming rollers, between which the workpiece can be retained. 17. The forming machine according to claim 14, wherein the first and second sets of forming rollers can be moved relative to each other during the working. 18. The forming machine according to claim 14, comprising a mandrel or bush to be placed in or around, respectively, an unworked part of the workpiece, and by means of which a tensile force can be exerted on the workpiece. 19. The machine of claim 14 wherein the common holder is radially adjusted during the working of the workpiece. 20. A forming machine suitable for manufacturing products which forming machine comprises at least a clamping device for clamping down a workpiece, a plurality of forming rollers mounted on a first common holder, which can be placed into contact with the workpiece while being worked, means for rotating the workpiece and the plurality of forming rollers about an axis of rotation relative to each other, and means for moving the workpiece and/or the plurality of forming rollers in a direction along said axis of rotation, wherein the first common holder moves radially with respect to an axis of rotation of the workpiece and also moves pivotally with respect to the axis of rotation of the workpiece and at least one or more forming rollers mounted on a second holder and spaced from the first common holder wherein the second holder moves radially with respect to the axis of ration of the workpiece, wherein at least one of the plurality of forming rollers mounted on the first common holder and the at least one forming roller mounted on the second holder engages the workpiece and wherein the first and second holders are mounted in or on the forming machine in such manner such that the first common holder is capable of rotation about an axis which crosses said axis of rotation during the formation of the workpiece. 21. The forming machine of claim 20 and wherein each of the forming rollers are radially positionable independent of the other rollers. 22. The machine of claim 20 wherein the common holder is radially adjusted during the working of the workpiece. 23. A method for manufacturing a product having a constant diameter or various diameters from a workpiece, in which the workpiece is clamped down in a clamping device, the workpiece and a first set of forming rollers are rotated about an axis of rotation relative to each other, wherein the rollers of the first set take up a first same axial position with respect to the work piece, wherein the workpiece is deformed by means of said forming rollers by placing the forming rollers into contact with the workpiece and moving the workpiece and/or the forming rollers in a direction along said axis of rotation, wherein at least a second set of forming rollers positioned at a second axial position with respect to the work piece is placed into contact with the workpiece at a position behind the first set of forming rollers, the workpiece also being deformed by means of said second set of forming rollers and wherein two or more forming rollers, each being of a different set and taking up a different axial position with respect to the work piece, are mounted on a common holder and said holder is rotated about an axis which crosses said axis of rotation during operation such that an outer surface of the workpiece is contacted by the first and second set of rollers. 24. The method of claim 23 wherein the common holder is radially adjusted during the working of the workpiece.
