LOBO Metal Factory Your specialist for injected moulding

Spinning

In the spinning process a metal sheet is deformed around a shape, using a spinning lathe.
This craft is used for small production series. Tooling costs are low, however, the part to be produced must have a revolution axis.

Materials

We use spinning for the following materials:

  • Tin
  • Brass
  • Aluminium

Production Steps

Spinning implies three production steps:

  • Tooling: Mould manufacturing
  • Spinning process
  • Finishing operations

We provide a complete service for the production of your parts, however, the choice is yours! We can for example also provide you with the raw product only and you apply your own finishing and decoration.

The mould on which the part will be distorted is made out of wood or steel. This mould is called a "mandrel".
