CNC Metal Spinning & Forming
Wenzel Metal Spinning’s strength lies in our investment in CNC metal spinning lathes. CNC (Computer Numerical Control) spinning lathes are the foremost innovation to the metal spinning industry. While the use of manual spinning lathes and techniques will always be very important to our industry, the advantages of CNC metal spinning machines are incredible. The programmability of CNC spinning lathes gives us quick and accurate repeatability. This constant replication allows for better finishes, tighter tolerances and most importantly – faster cycles for metal forming.

What is CNC Metal Spinning?
CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control and Wenzel's use of this CNC spinning technology allows us to produce higher volumes of metal spun parts more efficiently and more accurately than conventional methods. Quickly and efficiently, Wenzel Metal Spinning can transform sheets of steel into round shapes with minimal waste and minimal start-up cost.

Strategic Industry Applications
- Agriculture & Bulk Handling: Wenzel manufactures heavy-duty tank heads and hoppers designed to withstand the rigors of chemical storage and grain handling. Our automated lathes provide the structural consistency needed for large-scale agricultural equipment.
- Energy & Oil: We produce heavy-duty tank heads, filtration housings, and funnel shapes that can withstand extreme pressure. Our high-precision CNC spinning capabilities ensure durability in harsh environments.
- HVAC & Industrial Ventilation: Precision-engineered air movement starts with CNC spun metal. We manufacture inlet bells, fan housings, and roof curbs with the exact parabolic shapes needed for maximum airflow efficiency.
- Food, Dairy, & Chemical: For sanitary applications, we provide CNC metal spinning services that yield smooth, easy-to-clean surface finishes. Our stainless steel hoppers meet the rigorous standards of the food processing and chemical industries.
Frequently Asked Questions About CNC Metal Spinning
While manual spinning is valuable for low-volume artistry, CNC metal spinning offers unmatched repeatability and speed. Using automated lathes allows us to produce identical parts with tighter tolerances, making it the more cost-effective choice for medium to high-volume production.
We offer CNC spinning for a wide range of materials including cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. The CNC process is particularly effective for consistent forming across different gauges and material types.
CNC spinning lowers costs by reducing cycle times and minimizing material waste. Because the process is programmable, setup times are faster for repeat orders, and the high level of precision reduces the need for secondary finishing processes.
