Secondary Metal Fabrication Process: Trimming
What is the Trimming Process and How is it Performed? Trimming is a process used to remove excess material to achieve a desired shape, size, and finish, while removing burrs and smooths out sharp edges. To trim a part, it is put on a lathe and processed by a highly skilled metal spinner, or a
Benefits of the Polishing Process
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
Metal Fabrication: What is the Beading and Edge Rolling Process?
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
Secondary Metal Fabrication Processes
Secondary Metal Fabrication Processes At TMS, our secondary metal forming processes consist of: Beading and Edge Rolling Trimming Welding Metal Finishing and Polishing Each process can be done manually or automated, depending on the part. Beading and Edge Rolling Beading is very similar to edge rolling. During the beading process, a radius is added to
The Power of One-Piece Construction: How Weld-Free Metal Parts Improve Strength and Outperform Traditional Fabrication
The Power of One-Piece Construction 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 Spinning Tooling
Metal Spinning Tooling There are two general types of tooling for metal spinning processes: wood and steel. CNC lathes are equipped with hydraulicly actuated arms that generate a tremendous amount of pressure from the material being spun to the tooling underneath it. When the material is formed to the tools, the pressure increases by a
Benefits of Metal Spinning
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
CNC Metal Spinning 101
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
History of Metal Spinning, What is Metal Spinning?
History of Metal Spinning, What is Metal Spinning? Sheet metal spinning is a metal forming process that involves the shaping of metal sheet into complex forms through the application of pressure on a rotating sheet of metal around a mandrel core. Similarly, to the way a potter forms a vase by applying pressure to a
