For some metalworking processes, metal parts benefit from being spun on lathe tools or other machines, either to assist with finishing or with structural formation. Spinning metal can help maintain the integrity of parts or strengthen their internal structures. Metal spinning can also be a cost-effective way to machine parts with the simplicity of motion required to do this kind of metalworking with metal spinners.

Hydro-forming

For other projects where spinning may not be the best solution, there’s hydro-forming: this process applies hydraulic pressure to non-spinning metal in ways that don’t affect the consistency of the metal parts.

An advantage of hydro-forming is that it creates seamless parts through the pressure it puts on metal pieces. Hydro-forming is popular in making a range of products like heavy equipment.

Metal Spinning and Hydro-forming Methods

Leaders in supplying well-engineered metal pieces for mechanical industrial use specialize in methods like metal spinning and hydro-forming, using state of the art technology and tested techniques to get quality, consistency and durability in finished products.

Spinning Lathes and other technology provide cutting edge metal spinning solutions in shops specifically outfitted for creating smooth, sturdy circular parts, from small rods to bulky cylinders, free of defects and reliable enough for use in end products.

Machine Production
Spinning and hydro-forming are front and center in the array of services third party metalworking shops can provide to get metal pieces rollout-ready and into clients’ shelves, but business clients often need support for a range of pieces to assemble their creations. Diversified metalworking shops use hydraulic high-pressure presses and stamping techniques as well as shearing and shaping to manufacture metal pieces both large and small, delivering plates, pins, rings, or a variety of customized pieces for the specific use a client has engineered into their product line.
