At Toledo Metal Spinning Company, we have been forming metals since 1929, earning a reputation as a trusted partner in precision manufacturing. Our expertise has grown to encompass various transportation sectors, allowing us to adapt to the evolving needs of the aerospace, automotive, and car wash industries. With nearly a century of hands-on experience, we understand that these industries come with unique challenges. Our ability to innovate, and commitment to quality ensures that we meet the variety of demands set by the transportation industry. We’re proud to support these sectors by delivering exceptional metal forming solutions that help keep the world moving.
TMS moved into the aerospace industry in the 1960’s producing all sorts of components out of typical aircraft grade materials. We ensure your parts are processed to your specifications with lot traceability for each part we ship to you. When you have weld applications demanding the best weld conditions, we have equipment to produce your weld in a highly controlled manner in an inert atmosphere to minimize porosity. TMS can provide a weld schedule and submit to you weld coupons for testing to assure that what we say is what we do.
One of TMS’ strengths is to make parts that go into a bigger assembly. The automotive industry has depended on TMS for decades. Whether it is a component of a drive shaft, a spring cover for a school bus seat, a steering wheel hub, a wheel cover for an RV, TMS is suited and geared to produce quality parts in the automotive sector. The combination of deep drawing and spinning can help to achieve shape processing that one operation alone cannot achieve.
● Stainless Steels 304, 309, 316
● Copper Alloys
● Steel Alloys
TMS has been serving the car wash industry for over 30 years. Stainless steel vacuum domes are one of the highest volume parts made. Using a unique and proprietary process of a draw/spin combination, we revolutionized the dome making process. TMS ingenuity and design yields long lasting products. Other components might include internal pans for the vacuum, nozzle heads for automatic car washes, stainless steel components for the automatic car wash, among other components used in this industry.
The rise of Metal Spinning in Aerospace Applications Advanced manufacturing and metal fabrication processes play a critical role in the aerospace industry. Precision and safety are equally essential, and there is no margin for error. Metal spinning is an innovative process often chosen for the fabrication of aerospace applications, whether that be fuel tanks, rocket
Benefits of Forming Deep Drawn Metal Stamped Parts The deep drawing sheet metal forming process is a cold-forming process performed in an environment at or near room temperature, where the metal is permanently deformed into the desired geometry. In this process, the flat metal blank is formed and stretched around a die cavity with a
The Basics of Sheet Metal Forming with a Hydraulic Press What is the Deep Drawing Metal Forming Process? The metal deep draw stamping process is a cold-forming process, meaning it is performed in an environment at or near room temperature. In this forming process, a flat metal blank is stretched over a die cavity with
Deep Draw Metal Stamping for Strength and Efficiency The deep drawing sheet metal forming process is a cold-forming metal fabrication process that is conducted in a room-temperature environment. A metal blank is stretched around a die cavity, eventually conforming to the shape of the plug, shape of the die, and the depth of the draw.
Deep Drawing: Key Variables Impacting Metal Flow Common Materials Used at Toledo Metal Spinning Stainless Steel Cold Rolled Steel Copper Brass Aluminum Key Variables and Parameters for a Successful Deep Draw Blank Size Material Thickness Part Shape Part Geometry Draw Radii Draw Ratio Lubricants Die Surface Finish Die Temperature Draw Bead Height Draw Bead Shape
The Process of Forming Deep-Drawn Metal Stamped Aluminum Parts Aluminum is a very formable material, making it the perfect candidate to be deep drawn, stamped, or hydroformed. The deep draw metal stamping processes is a cold-forming process, meaning the material’s grain structure undergoes changes at room temperature, as the blank forms and stretches into its
What are the differences of Deep Drawing and Hydroforming? Hydroforming is a specialized Deep Drawing process also known as Sheet Hydroforming. Sheet hydroforming allows various materials to become complex and structurally sound parts. It allows for asymmetrical or irregular shaped geometries, while conventional Deep Drawn parts are symmetrical and uniform throughout the entire shape. Another
All You Need to Know About flanging Flanging: A Technical Definition 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 flanging
