Metal spinning | Deep drawing | Solutions

Gut Metallumformung AG 

stands for the forming of sheet metal from a thickness of a few tenths of a millimeter up to several millimeters.

The industrial forming of metals and alloys by deep drawing and metal spinning requires a great deal of experience in traditional craftsmanship, in-depth knowledge of materials, modern construction systems and a well-stocked machine park. The real capital lies in our skilled employees, who are committed to your parts with great sensitivity and care.
 

Metal spinning

An industrial manufacturing process with a tradition of craftsmanship.

Metal spinning is a non-cutting, cold forming process in which mostly circular discs (rondelles) are "driven" onto a mold (tool) by rotation and the targeted application of force via rollers and rods. If metal spinning is carried out by a specialist, hardly any other forming process can match the cost-effectiveness of metal spinning - especially for individual parts or small series! Take advantage of the possibilities of this interesting process. 
 

The advantages of metal spinning: 

• Low tooling costs
• Simple (inexpensive) starting material
•  Various materials
• Achievement of desired material properties
• High-quality components

The origin of metal spinning lies in the forging of metal. Cold forming, combined with a metallic flow process (similar to wheel-throwing with clay), allows material properties to be achieved that can be of great benefit to the function and area of application of the finished component.

Deep drawing

An industrial manufacturing process with unsurpassed cost-effectiveness.

Less is often more! With the possibilities of deep drawing, we can manufacture individual parts for you where other methods have long since relied on the assembly of multiple parts. Take advantage of this benefit with integrated cost reduction.
 

The advantages of deep drawing:

• Reproducible shaping in a single operation
• Simple (inexpensive) starting material
• Various materials
• Achieving desired material properties

Deep drawing transforms a flat surface into a hollow body by stretching or compressing it. The sheet metal disc is clamped between the drawing die and the blank holder. The blank holder presses the drawing die onto the sheet metal disc, drawing it into the opening of the drawing die.

The various forces, drawing radius and gap, as well as the drawing speed, must be precisely coordinated. The basic shape can be round or angular; deep drawing produces cylindrical shapes, hemispheres, conical surfaces, or rectangles. Materials used include sheet steel, aluminum, copper, brass, stainless steel, titanium, and nickel alloys.   

From expertise to the finished component

Ideally, you should integrate our expertise right from the feasibility phase of your project - this is the best way to benefit from our experience. 

It is not uncommon for our manufacturing expertise to result in other, simpler and often more economical solutions. There is a lot of know-how in the tools for metal spinning and deep drawing. So it is only logical that we also offer competent services for these processes. In most cases, the parts cannot be used immediately after metal spinning or deep drawing - further operations are required. These can often be carried out most efficiently during or after the spinning / deep drawing process.

• Holes for screws, cable glands, ventilation grilles, press-in nuts or press-in threaded bolts
• Bolts or threads for locking, bayonet lock or for mounting a clamp
• Connection of several parts with each other
• Recesses, reinforcements, ribs or embossing
• Specific surface requirements, e.g. bright / scratch-free, ground, coated or anodized
• Edges trimmed or deburred
• Mechanical finishing by turning grooves and facets, milling pockets or drilling holes
