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 Benefits of One-piece Constructions At Toledo Metal Spnning Company, we have been forming metals since 1929. With nearly a century of experience, we have mastered a wide range of processes including laser cutting, metal spinning, deep drawing, machining, rolling and seam welding, to build strong and durable high-performance parts. But what truly sets us
Metal Fabrication: What is the Beading and Edge Rolling Process? Beading and edge rolling are the metal forming processes of adding a radius, raised edge, or indented ridge along the edge of a piece. This process is done to increase stability and durability of the part, and can also increase its functionality by allowing for
Importance of American-Made Manufacturing Purchasing a product with the “Made in the USA” logo gives American consumers a sense of freedom, pride and satisfaction, knowing they are contributing to our economy and supporting American jobs, and fellow Americans. The manufacturing industry in the United States helps to increase jobs, careers, and opportunities, especially when their
The Metal Finishing and Polishing Process The polishing process is a secondary metal fabrication process that is done to create a smooth and shiny surface by utilizing abrasives or chemical treatment, and can be done by hand or robotic automation. The purpose of adding a finish or polish is to improve the appearance by creating
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 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 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
