Metal Spinning is the metalworking process suitable for axially symmetrical forming job .It is also called as spin forming.
In this video we will see how to form hopper shape from flat sheet using VMC machine.
Tool used for forming is stainless Steel ball nose cutter . One end is spherical in shape .
Tool path used here is Spiral machining
Spindle rpm = 2000 rpm
feed = 1000 mm/min
Total machining time =1 hour
Hopper size : height 100 mm
Diameter = 80 mm
Generally For metal spinning ,CNC lathe machines are widely used .on lathe machine the work-piece plate is rotated with high speed but only circular symmetrical parts are possible on lathe machine . on lathe machine spinning is done by hand so operator should be skillful for doing this types of forming job .
for non circular forming jobs this method may be used . this technique is suitable for rapid prototyping because basically forming done by hydro forming,stamping ,forging and casting. but this methods generally have a higher fixed cost . another advantages of this process is that any forming shapes can be made with this process because no extra tooling is required ,only we have to change the tool path according to shape of forming work piece. Design alteration is quick in this case . tooling and production cost is also comparatively low .
