Metal Spinning From technology to trust — precision that shapes the world.

Spin forming, also known as metal spinning, is an advanced manufacturing process that shapes metal sheets into axially symmetrical parts by rotating them at high speeds. This technique utilizes a combination of force and high-speed rotation to form the metal around a mandrel, a type of mold, which shapes the spinning metal into precise, complex geometries.

The precision metal spinning process starts with a flat sheet of metal or tube that is rotated on a CNC or manual spinning lathe, with setups that may include a headstock and follower to handle the diameter and shape of the mandrel effectively. As the metal piece spins, various tools apply pressure to shape the metal into the desired form against the mandrel, utilizing axial strokes to achieve precise dimensions.

This method is highly valued in industrial applications for its ability to produce strong, lightweight components such as pressure vessels, gas cylinders, and fittings with excellent structural integrity. Spin forming is particularly effective for creating parts that require high precision and smooth finishes, making it indispensable in sectors like aerospace, where both the quality and the performance of each component are critical.

The metalworking process of spin forming involves the seamless shaping of sheet metal, including stainless steel and copper, into complex, symmetrical parts on a CNC lathe. It is crucial for creating components like satellite dishes that meet the stringent requirements of aerospace applications. Spin forming allows for the production of parts with high tensile strength and controlled wall thickness, characteristics essential for aerospace structures made from carbon steel, brass, and other soft metals that face extreme conditions.
