• AMT's engineers design the spun wheel geometry optimized for the target wheel application.
• Highly specialized computer-controlled spinning equipment applies the force of one or more rollers to the outside diameter of the forged wheel blank. The aluminum material is mechanically worked beyond its yield strength and flows in the axial direction over a mandrel. The wheel blank rollers and mandrel are all rotating. The inside geometry of the finished wheel takes the shape of the mandrel while the CNC roller program determines the external shape of the wheel.

Benefits:

• Near net shape wheel reduces material requirements and machining time by up to 20 percent.
• Efficient cycle times
• Cost-effective tooling
• Superior mechanical working yields excellent mechanical properties.
