The Benefits of One-piece Constructions At Toledo Metal Spinning Company, we have been forming metals since 1929. With nearly a century of experience, we have mastered a wide range of processes including metal spinning, deep drawing, rolling and seam welding, laser cutting, and machining to build strong and durable high-performance parts. But what truly sets […]
Sheet Metal Laser Cutting 101 What is laser cutting and how does it work? The laser beam is a heat source which can melt metals rather quickly. When the concentrated beam comes into contact with the material, in this case, metal, the beam’s energy is absorbed into the metal, causing it to melt. However, the

Laser cutting produces efficient, precise cuts with smooth, uniform edges in both small and large runs on materials up to 1 in. thick. It’s no surprise that the process has become extremely popular, and manufacturers and fabricators now rely on laser cutting more than ever. Laser Cutting Basics A laser is a source of intense

Cylinders – The Forming Process Custom cylinders are made through a process that begins by putting a flat sheet of material into the laser and programming it to cut rectangles out of various materials to specific sizes. If the cylinder has any customizations or features including custom holes, windows or other shapes, these are cut

What is Weld Distortion? Weld Distortion is the deformation or misalignment of metal components caused by the expansion and contraction of the weld metal and base metal during welding process. This occurs accidentally, and there are many techniques to avoid distorting the metal throughout the welding process. Weld Distortion occurs when an incorrect amount of
