Heat. Spin. Shape. Repeat.
Hot spinning heats a flowformed metal tube as it spins on a lathe at high speeds while various rollers and tools shape the piece. Computers control various machine tools that adjust everything from feed rate, coordination, location, temperature and speed. The process accurately controls the profile while delivering controlled wall thickness and repeatability. Hot spinning produces seamless, high-precision, rotationally symmetrical shapes with accurate profiles and wall thicknesses.
Parts formed by hot spinning are:
CYLINDRICAL
CONICAL
CONTOURED
Hot-Spinning Process Videos
