Forming for optimized material utilization of critical spun solutions
Standex ETG’s Spincraft businesses offer shear forming, which provides the unique ability to utilize maximum forming force to save on raw material costs. Through detailed engineering design and analysis, we can provide accurate, repeatable solutions that exceed our customers’ design challenges and optimize the fly-to-buy ratio of the delivered product.
Shear forming is similar to spin forming, though it differs by maintaining a constant diameter of the blank by controlling the gap between the roller and the mandrel. This technique can achieve precise reductions in wall thickness down the part while offering material enhancements in elongation and tensile strength via the coldworking of the input blank.
When customer designs exceed the limit of raw material suppliers, our shear forming ability can provide a path from concept to product realization. Utilizing our advanced shear forming techniques can provide the following advantages:
Able to shear form material up to 1″ thick and beyond. Reach out with your precise needs.
