Metal Spinning is a powerful metal forming technique used to create conical and cylindrical shapes. As the metal is spun on a high speed axis, it is shaped, either by hand or by using CNC controlled tools.

An important aspect of metal spinning is that the material hardens as it is worked, this features of metal spinning enables the manufacture of thinner, yet stronger components . In addition to this important engineering benefit, there are important commercial benefits in that less material is required and it does not incurr the tooling costs associated with a pressed metal approach.

Engineering Benefits : Lighter, Stronger and Offers an attractive finish.
Commercial Benefits : Lower material costs, lower tooling costs and forming can be combined with in-cycle secondary machining operations.

Metal Spinning is ideal for spherical shapes, barrel shapes, jar shapes, boilers, pressure vessels and lighting relectors. Industries such as heating and ventilation, lighting, space and aerospace, automotive wheels, food manufacturing, communications, fire protection and medical benefit from the services of Ladbrook Metal Spinning.
