All You Need to Know About flanging A technical definition of flanging Flanging is bending the metal of a surface, whether it is a blank, sheet metal, funnel, or a cylindrical shape, to a 90 degree angle. This is done by metal spinning or deep drawing a flange into the application, or by utilizing a
Commonly Asked Questions about Cylindrical Applications What are stainless steel spools? A spool is a fabricated length of tubing with clamp fittings, or flanges at both ends. A couple popular names are cylinders, extensions, tubes, spools, rings, or cylinders. These pieces are classified as spools when the flanges are on both ends. What is a
Clarifying Elements to the Deep Draw Design Process – The Draw Ratio When it comes to tool design, the most important formula is The Draw Ratio, also known as Limiting Draw Ratio (LDR). The formula is: LDR = D / d D = blank diameter d = cup ID or punch diameter This ratio shows
What is CNC Metal Spinning? What does CNC stand for? CNC Stands for Computer Numerical Control, which allows our lathes to execute programmed spin cycles with remarkable accuracy. This technology has revolutionized metal spinning and metal fabricating, always ensuring tight tolerances and delivering unmatched precision. The repeatability of these programs enhances efficiency and reduces production
What are the Advantages of Metal Spinning? At Toledo Metal Spinning Company, metal spinning has been at the core of who we are for nearly a century. We have been forming metals since 1929, beginning with being solely a metal spinning company. There are many different benefits to this process, which is one reason we
Deep Drawing 101 Why Deep Drawing? One of the main reasons we choose deep drawing over other manufacturing processes is to keep a one-piece construction, rather than turning to welding, or a multi-piece assembly involving multiple step processes. It is more timely, cost-effective, and efficient to utilize our deep draw presses. To classify a part
Deep Drawing VS Press Forming What is the difference of Deep Drawing and Press Forming? It is commonly misunderstood that Deep Drawing and Press Forming are two different processes. Many do not know that deep drawing is a type of press forming! Press forming as, a broad term, involves drawing a sheet of metal into
Why is Metal Recycling Important? Metal Recycling has a Positive Impact on the Environment Recycling reduces the amount of waste that goes into landfills, and reduces the need to mine for new materials, which helps to reduce our carbon footprint. To put it in perspective, mining destroys the environment, large parts of mountain ranges and
