Metal spinning is a versatile and efficient metalworking process that allows the production of high-quality components quickly and cost-effectively. Unlike other manufacturing methods, metal spinning combines precision, strength, and design flexibility, making it ideal for a wide range of applications.
Flexibility in Design
Metal spinning offers exceptional adaptability, allowing adjustments to part design without extensive or costly retooling. Whether you are developing prototypes, refining a product, or updating production specifications, the process can accommodate evolving designs quickly, reducing delays and accelerating innovation.
Superior Strength and Finish
Components produced through metal spinning are seamless, structurally sound, and visually appealing. Cold-forming the metal enhances tensile strength and hardness while providing a smooth, uniform surface finish. This combination ensures that parts are not only functional but also durable and aesthetically refined.
Cost-Effective Tooling
Tooling costs for metal spinning are remarkably low, often only a fraction—around 10%—of comparable methods like stamping or casting. This makes the process ideal for both small-batch and high-volume production, allowing businesses to maintain high quality without exceeding budget constraints.
Fast Turnaround
Metal spinning offers significantly faster lead times than traditional methods. Tooling and components can often be ready within weeks rather than months, providing an advantage for projects that require speed and flexibility in production schedules.
Learn More About Our Metal Spinning Capabilities
Every project has unique requirements and timelines. Advanced metal spinning techniques allow manufacturers to meet those specific needs with precision, efficiency, and versatility.
Automatic CNC Spinning
CNC metal spinning delivers high-volume production with outstanding precision and repeatability. This method ensures consistent quality for large orders while minimizing human error.
Hydraulic-Assist Spinning
Hydraulic-assisted spinning combines power and accuracy to handle medium-to-large-scale parts. This process is particularly effective for thicker metals or components with complex shapes, providing both strength and refined detail.
Manual Hand Spinning
For custom, intricate, or low-volume projects, hand spinning remains an essential option. Skilled artisans can produce detailed components with unmatched attention to craftsmanship, making it ideal for prototypes, specialty parts, or artistic applications.
Our spinning capabilities accommodate parts up to 60 inches in height and 100 inches in diameter, supporting both individual prototypes and high-volume production runs.
Material Specifications and Thickness Ranges
Metal spinning works with a wide variety of materials and thicknesses, allowing for versatility in both design and functionality:
- Brass: 0.030” – 0.187”
- Stainless Steel: 0.030” – 0.187”
- Carbon Steel: 0.030” – 0.375”
- Aluminum: 0.025” – 0.500”
- Copper: 0.022” – 0.125”
Combining spinning with advanced 5-axis laser cutting technology adds another level of precision. Complex holes, slots, and cutouts can be accurately created on curved surfaces, enhancing the functionality of the spun component without additional cost or manual labor.
