Whirling Machines Manufacturers online

A whirling machine is a machine tool that is used to produce rotationally symmetrical components, such as eccentric screws or ball screws. The process that a whirling machine uses is called whirling. Here is a basic explanation of the process:

Preparation of the workpiece: The starting material, usually a piece of metal, is prepared and clamped in the whirling machine.

Tool preparation: The tool used for the whirling process is selected and prepared. This tool typically consists of a whirling head and a support ring.

Whirling process: The whirling machine starts the whirling process by rotating the workpiece and the tool. During whirling, the whirling head pushes the material radially outwards and forms it around the support ring. This results in a rotationally symmetrical shaping of the workpiece.

Inspection and fine-tuning: Measurements are taken during the process to ensure that the workpiece meets the required specifications and tolerances. If necessary, adjustments are made to ensure the quality and accuracy of the end product.

Post-machining: After the whirling process, it may be necessary to further machine the workpiece to achieve certain surface finishes or add additional features.
In terms of the specific products that can be produced with a whirling machine:

Eccentric screws: These are components used in various mechanical applications to convert linear motion into rotary motion or vice versa. They are often used in gearboxes and other mechanical systems.

Ball screws: These are used in applications that require precise linear motion, such as CNC machines, machine tools or positioning systems. Ball screws consist of a lead screw and a nut with ball recirculation. The whirling process can be used to produce the lead screw, achieving precise thread profiles and high surface finishes.
