Flow Forming Sheet Metal

The roller deforms the workpiece forcing it against the mandrel both axially lengthening and radially thinning it.

Flow forming sheet metal.

Better yet with our extensive range of processes we can make more than just traditional cones and cylinders. Sheet metal forming involves forming and cutting operations performed on metal sheets strips and coils. Tools include punch die that are used to deform the sheets. For a full selection of special types of steel please visit our materials page.

We form one piece component shapes which nobody else can. Chipless metal forming machinery and related machine tools metal spinning shear forming machines spinning lathes spinforming lathes flow forming machines flow forming lathes wheel forming machines rotary forging presses tube cylinder necking in closing machines trimming beading flanging lock seaming machines. Sheet metal fabrication is the process of forming parts from a metal sheet by punching cutting stamping and bending. The surface area to volume ratio of the starting metal is relatively high.

3d cad files are converted into machine code which controls a machine to precisely cut and form the sheets into the final part. Classification of basic sheet forming processes bending deep drawing shearing. About 90 percent of spun parts can be formed by starting with a blank disk trimmed from standard commercial sheet metal. Using flow punch forming technology the flowform screw causes the sheet metal to heat using a combination of axial force and relatively high screwdriver speed.

Precision metal forming as the world s premier flowforming manufacturer pmf can produce component shapes beyond the means of conventional metal forming at a more economical price. Once the material has been penetrated the polygonal shape of the screw forms a metric female thread.
