What is Orbital Forming? Orbital forming is a quiet, non-impact process ofcoldforming - replacing traditional riveting, staking,crimping, pressing, welding and other fastening operations.Orbital forming uses a peen tool, mounted in a rotatingspindle and inclined at a slight angle toward the centerof the spindle. The peen intersects the workpiece on aline of contact and gradually moves material to the desired final form. What Can Orbital Forming Do? A robust and precise process, orbital forming can beused to crown, flare, swage, peen, roll, curl, broach,seal, retain and crimp material. Orbital forming alsoallows fine control of final form, clamp force, etc. with unequaled repeatability. How Can I Benefit Using Orbital Forming? Orbital forming can accomplish the same amount offorming work with a fraction (20%) of the force ofconventional processes like staking and pressing. It can be used to replace loose fasteners, be appliedwith exacting process control and be used over awide spectrum of materials (metals, plastics, delicate, hard, etc.)
