Industrial uses of spinnings and stamped/drawn parts are numerous. TMS can spin up to 3/16” stainless steel. The company can also draw up to a 48” blank. Heavy conical shapes, large cylinders, thick cups and hemispheres are found on the shop floor at TMS on a daily basis.
Metal fabrication is essential for manufacturing nearly all equipment, infrastructure, and machinery required for oil exploration, extraction, and refining. These processes demand exceptionally durable metal applications designed to withstand harsh environments and long-term use. This process involves shaping metals into essential components such as pipes, storage tanks, drilling equipment, and offshore platform structures using techniques like rolling, welding, metal spinning, stamping, bending, and machining.
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
Importance of Craftsmanship in the Oil and Gas Industry Metal Forming in the oil industry Metal forming is used to create nearly all of the equipment and infrastructure in the oil industry. Metal forming refers to the process of shaping metals into various shapes and components such as pipes, storage tanks, drilling equipment, and offshore
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
The Importance of Craftsmanship in a Marine Environment The Importance of Craftsmanship in Marine Engineering and` Manufacturing Marine and underwater environments come with the harshest of conditions, leaving no for error when engineering and fabricating oceanic and seafaring components. Through a variety of metal forming processes, creating durable and long-lasting parts is effortlessly achieved, ensuring
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 is Seam Welding? Seam welding is the process of joining two similar or different materials together, at the seam, by electronic current and pressure. The gap creates an electrical resistance between the materials, which causes them to heat up at the seam. This process is most common with metals, because they conduct electricity easily,
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
