This is a custom built spinning lathe used to spin form parts from flat metal blanks.
We engineered & built the machine to meet the customer's requirement of 3" to 46" diameter, and a draw depth up to 24".
It can accept a CNC program from disk, or a program can be created and/or modified using an SS Systems Mach3 custom screen via the onboard programming console, or can be programmed manually using the dual MPGs on the pendant, the moves can then be recorded and saved as G-Code moves to create a part rendering program. In fact, the program you see running on the machine was made in less than 15 minutes using the record/playback moves command, and then spin formed the 1,000 parts that are being stacked at the end of the video.
The machine is servo powered and ballscrew actuated, (except the tool changer which is gear driven), has a 0 - 2,750 RPM spindle with 4 programable quick select run speeds, adjustable DC braking via a variable frequency drive, and 2 manual trimmers.
Do you need a custom machine? We can help, we love this stuff!

  • Hello, congratulations, great machine! I am from Brazil, I need a machine like this to produce drum cymbals here. I would like to know if you guys sell machines like this.

    Thanks.

  • @mariogaiottomandu

    I have never made cymbals before, but the machine could be used to produce them if you wish. Do you know what alloy you would use, as some alloys require special handling due to work hardening of the alloy during forming.

  • Did you make the forming wheels or buy them?

  • We make the wheels, they vary in composition, profile, and diameter to best suit the spun shape, thickness, & the alloy used.

  • where can you get the metal blanks to use for the machine?

  • Most shops have their own circling shear machines to cut round blanks from sheet stock, but most sheet metal supply companies can cut them for you, for an added fee of course.

see all

  • Please send me contact information.

  • Can I have your contact information. We are looking for something like this to perform metal spinning of pewter tableware.

  • Can we have your contact details?We are looking for a similar machine to spin aluminium bottles 1050A alloy.

  • You can see a video of a brazilian factory searching on You Tube for: rosemberg visita krest

  • @americanmademachines

    Thanks a lot for your attention! I don't know the exactly the name of the alloy yet, but the drummers call it as Bronze B-8 (8% of tin). There are some variations like B-10, B-12 and B-20 (20% of tin, I think this is the harder one. I've never seen any factory making it at a spinning lathe, just hammering). It also can be made of brass.

  • Would you be willing to make and sell one to me?

    The material is 3003 alum. X .050 thick.
