As industrial production continues to advance, the demands on spinning technology are becoming increasingly stringent. In recent years, scholars have made significant progress in combining heat treatment with spinning technology, providing a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for the spinning process of materials like aluminum alloys. However, in the face of new demands in industrial production, spinning technology is moving towards intelligent and automated development.
Traditional cold spinning processes, limited by issues such as work hardening, can no longer meet the needs of modern production. The introduction of heat treatment technology, which refines metal grains and changes crystal structures, has significantly enhanced material properties, marking a new milestone in spinning technology. This innovation not only improves production efficiency but also makes the manufacturing of complex-shaped parts possible.
In terms of the control systems for spinning machines, the application of numerical control (NC) technology has become key to increasing production efficiency. NC systems can shorten preparation and processing times, adapt to changes in processing conditions, and improve the precision of repetitive machining while reducing the risk of accidents. Although new types of hydraulically formed automatic spinning machines can meet some needs, the programming skills for NC automatic spinning machines will continue to be a major research topic in the future, aiming for more efficient automated production.
With the increasing demand for spinning machines with large diameters, high thrust, high precision, and high levels of automation, foreign high-strength spinning equipment technology has become serialized and is continuously advancing in the direction of large-scale, multi-functional, and high levels of automated control. The development of computer information technology has further driven innovation in the control management systems of spinning machine tools. The feed system of NC machine tools has evolved from simple wheel feed to multi-gear spinning machines, and the spindle speed has achieved stepless variable speed. In addition, systems such as television monitoring management for processing large-diameter parts and automatic measurement technology for wall thickness using ultrasonic waves have also been widely applied on spinning machines.
