Introduction to the spinning

Spinning

Strain of a initial
workpiece of metallic material
by means of rotatory speed
and pressure of rollers
against the initial workpiece
and the chuck.
Kenn 80 FC (Sn cup)
 Origin
9 X Century in China. Egypcian and Latinoamerican rests.
9 Advance and industrial launching during the 1rst Industrial Revolution
9 Manual machines ( human force)
9 Automatical machines with templates (hydraulic power)
9 Machines with cpoy unit (joystick, PNC)
9 M hi

 Spinning process

9 Process capacity (Strain obtained, spinning profiles, spinned

materials).
9 Low cost of tooling system comparing to alternative processes
processes.
9 Industrial flexibility (short series for different models).
9 Quality of the parts (Tolerance and surfaces quality)
9 Design characteristics improved (lower weight, more strenght).
9 Any metallic material can be spinned (Steel, stainless steel, Al,
bronze Cupper
bronze, Cupper,brass,
brass TiTi, Allclad
Allclad,Golden,
Golden Gold)
Gold). Hot treatments
applied in and out of the process.
9 Limits. Cycle time in some conditions, machine cost, skin and
technological grade
grade, depending of the profile,
profile material and
process used.
Basical technics
Spinning
Several parts
equal initial and final thickness
Process in several strockes

Conical flow forming

Production and quality
Sinus rule for the thickness
Proces in one trocke

Cylindrical flow forming

Production and quality
Thickness reduction just to 95%
Process in one or several strockes

9 Intuitive process, depending on the spinner skin.

9 Relation between initial and final thickness around 90%
9 Ductil materials easier to spin (Bronze, Al).
9 Saved material 90% comparing with alternative pocesses

9 Several initial part profiles (blanks, rings, pipes and pre-
pre-drawn)
9 Process in several strockes, cycle time higher than by flow forming .
9 Less accuracy in tolerance and quality surface than by flow forming
9 Depending on the part dimensions (diameter, thickness) and material
hardness, is produced craking faillures and waves deformation of the
accumulated material. Can be avoided with the apropiated

system, intermadiate treatments and hot process.
9 To reduce the work pressure is used hot in the process.
Conical flow
f fforming. Characteristics

9 Process independent to the spinner skin

9 It is done in one strocke. Reduced cycle time
9 Thickness following the sinus rul
9 Equal relationship of volums between initial and final part
9 Mi i
Minimum flow
fl forming
f i angle
l 15º
9 Thickness reduction achiving 75% (limits depending on part and
machine)
9 For lower angles to 15º the part is flow formed in several
strockes.
9 If there is errors in the manufacture process, and is not kept the
sinus rule, the part breaks by excess or default of the thickness
in the final part.
