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.
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: Key Variables Impacting Metal Flow Material Type Materials we use at Toledo Metal Spinning include: Stainless Steel Cold Rolled Steel Copper Brass Aluminum Some of the most important aspects of Deep Drawing are as follows: Blank Size Material Thickness Part Shape Part Geometry Draw Radii Draw Ratio Lubricants Die Surface Finish Die Temperature
Deep Drawing and Stamping With Aluminum Aluminum Aluminum is one of the most commonly used metals in the world. Some of the most typical uses are seen in: Beverage Cans Kitchen Appliances Automobile frames Aircraft and Spacecraft Components Televisions and Computers Cooking Utensils Aluminum Foil Aluminum is very durable, yet lighter in weight compared to
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.
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
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
