Guide to Automatic Spinning


During Automatic Spinning, the movements of the roller against the material are controlled by machine. This process is best suited to high volume work.
Preparing the Material
The material - in this example, galvanized steel -- is cut to the appropriate diameter.


Setting Up the Machine
The material or blank is placed on a centering device and is then clamped to the spinning chuck.

In the close-up below, you can see the roller before it's pressed against the material.


Forming Begins
As the material and spinning chuck rotate, the roller gradually pushes the metal against the spinning chuck, thus creating the desired shape. The entire operation has been programmed and each step is done automatically, as opposed to hand-spinning.


Forming
The material is now almost fully formed. The final step will be to create the flange.

In the close-up below, you can see the edge of the material extending beyond the spinning chuck.


Forming Begins
The flange is formed by rolling the material over the edge of the spinning chuck. The finished part now has the exact inside dimensions as the spinning chuck.
Before and After
