A profiling station for the continuous forming of a material strip into a profile, in particular into a longitudinally welded profile with a polygonal cross-section or an open cross-section, wherein the material strip has a first flat side and a second flat side that is arranged opposite the first flat side, and wherein the profiling station defines a longitudinal axis in a pass direction of the material strip, the profiling station comprises - a rack frame, - a profiling arrangement with - at least one forming roller, which at least one forming roller can be turned toward the first flat side of the material strip, - a first counter roller, which first counter roller is cylindrically designed and defines a first roller axis and a first roller diameter, - a second counter roller, which second counter roller is cylindrically designed and defines a second roller axis and a second roller diameter, - wherein the first counter roller and the second counter roller form a counter roller pair, and the counter roller pair can be turned toward the second flat side of the material strip, and wherein the first roller axis and the second roller axis enclose a buckling angle between them, and - wherein the counter rollers (13, 14) of the counter roller pair define between them a bending edge for the material strip to be formed, - a drive assembly with at least one drive unit (24, 32), wherein at least one of the counter rollers (13, 14) of the counter roller pair is drive-connected to the at least one drive unit (24, 32), - and wherein the profiling arrangement and possibly the drive assembly are held on the rack frame, characterized in that - a mechanical rotation transmission device is provided between the first counter roller and the second counter roller, and that counter roller, which is drive-connected to the first drive unit, transmits the drive torque to the other counter roller by means of the mechanical rotation transmission device, - the mechanical rotation transmission device comprises a cardan joint or a jointed shaft or a bevel gear arrangement having a first bevel gear wheel and a second bevel gear wheel or an angular gearbox, and - the first counter roller and also the second counter roller are driven by the drive assembly and by means of the mechanical rotation transmission device such that the first counter roller at its outer circumference and the second counter roller at its outer circumference each have a circumferential speed that is equal to the other. -
