Springs might look simple, but behind every perfectly coiled spring lies a fascinating process of engineering, precision, and craftsmanship. Whether it’s a compression spring in an aircraft landing gear or a tension spring in a medical device, every spring must perform flawlessly under demanding conditions. At FENN-Torin, we’ve spent decades perfecting the technology that makes that possible — through expertly engineered spring coilers designed for unmatched consistency and control.
So, how are springs made? It starts with the right material — usually high-tensile wire designed to handle repeated stress and deformation. The wire is precisely fed through a spring coiling machine, which shapes it into tight, uniform coils based on the spring’s specific dimensions and load requirements. Every degree of bend and millimeter of spacing matters; even the smallest inconsistency can alter performance or lead to failure over time.
Spring manufacturing may sound simple, but it’s a balancing act of physics and engineering. The wire diameter, coil pitch, number of turns, and heat treatment all work together to define the spring’s strength and resilience. That’s where precision machinery makes the difference.
Modern spring coiling equipment — like FENN-Torin’s high-performance systems — automates what was once an entirely manual process. Our coilers feed, straighten, coil, and cut wire in one smooth operation, ensuring every spring meets exact specifications. Whether you’re producing short runs for R&D or high-volume batches for industrial use, repeatability is key.
FENN-Torin’s advanced controls allow operators to fine-tune each parameter, while integrated monitoring systems detect deviations in real-time. This level of precision means less waste, fewer rejects, and higher overall quality. In industries where reliability is non-negotiable — from aerospace to automotive — those details matter more than ever.
Spring making has come a long way since its early days. While craftsmanship remains at the heart of great spring manufacturing, automation has elevated what’s possible. Today’s engineers can program exact coil dimensions and spring rates, producing consistent results with minimal human intervention. Still, the artistry of understanding wire behavior, tension, and material response remains essential — and that’s where FENN- Torin’s engineering expertise shines.
Each FENN- Torin spring coiler is built not just for precision, but for flexibility. With the right setup, manufacturers can quickly switch between product types and wire materials, adapting to evolving customer demands without sacrificing accuracy or efficiency.
