Metal spinning, also known as spin forming, is a manufacturing process that involves shaping a metal disk or tube into a symmetrical part by rotating it at high speeds and using tools to deform it against a mold. This technique is commonly used for creating various components in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.
How we can Support your Manufacturing needs
We provide tailored solutions to meet your specific design requirements, ensuring that the spun metal components fit perfectly within your application.
Our facilities can quickly produce prototypes, allowing you to test and refine designs before committing to full-scale production.
We offer flexible manufacturing options that can scale with your needs, accommodating both low and high-volume orders efficiently.
Material Preparation: Select the appropriate metal (e.g., aluminum, steel, brass) and prepare it in the form of a disk or tube.
Spinning: The metal piece is mounted on a spinning lathe. As it rotates, a tool is applied to shape the metal against a mold, gradually forming the desired geometry.
Finishing: After spinning, parts may require additional processes such as trimming, drilling, or surface finishing to achieve the final specifications.
Single-Die Spinning: Utilizes a single mold for simpler shapes and is ideal for small production runs.
Multi-Die Spinning: Involves multiple molds to create complex shapes, suitable for larger production runs.
Cost-Effective: Ideal for producing parts in medium to high volumes with lower tooling costs compared to other metal forming methods.
Versatile: Capable of forming a wide range of shapes and sizes, including cones, cylinders, and hemispheres.
Strength and Durability: The process enhances the grain structure of the metal, resulting in stronger components compared to other forming methods.
Aerospace: Used for components like housings, cones, and fuselage sections.
Automotive: Ideal for producing parts such as wheel covers, exhaust components, and fuel tanks.
Industrial Equipment: Commonly used for creating various enclosures and protective covers.
