Experience with a variety of industries
During rotary swaging, forming dies back by hammer blocks revolve around the workpiece. As the spindle revolves, centrifugal force throws the hammers and dies outwards against a series of rollers surrounding the spindle. Each time the hammer blocks strike diametrically opposed rolled, they are driven inward – causing the dies halves to close and compress the metal being swaged.
