Since 1908 SPINNING SPINNING METALAL ACME ACME MET Small Metal Spinnings Designed For The Future, Backed By Years Of Experience SInce 1908.

Acme’s metal spinning technology is targeted to solve the most demanding of today’s and tomorrow’s custom part designs. We provide a full range of process options to produce higher quality custom parts, on time and within budget requirements. Our processes frequently result in higher quality, lower cost parts when compared to deep , and . Let us show you how on your next project.

Medium Metal Spinnings LARGE AND SMALL, ACME SPINS IT ALL.

60 inch CNC controlled spinning lathe We produce tank handles .250 inch heads, cones, mild steel domes, cylinders and hemispheres. Equipment capabilities from under an inch up to 140 inches in diameter with accurate and quality results. 2 roller, 100 HP CNC spinning lathe with 48 inch diameter capacity

Complete Full Service Spinning Facility. Latest CNC equipment includes dozens: of spinning machines and systems, conventional spinning equipment, trimming, cutoff and beading equipment as well as and joining capabilities. Acme maintains a large inventory of tools for both prototype and production run work. Tooling is made of laminated wood and mild steel. Both types cost far less than tools for other processes, such as metal . By maintaining this large tool library. Acme can respond to your needs very quickly on a new part project.

MATERIAL Acme will help plan your material needs. Check our in-stock sheet sizes and thicknesses. Check the approximate size you may need. A change in diameter or depth of spinning may lower cost of material. Spinning in most cases will PARABOLIC SHAPES cause material thinning and hardening so consider the minimum wall thickness your part project can tolerate. Tubing, rolled and welded rings – welded sheet can be utilized for some shapes for further material savings. RADII A large corner radius will be stronger and thin out the material less than tight DOMES corners. Larger corner radii can be more economical to produce.

DIMENSIONS Inside dimensions are the easiest to hold. Indicate the tolerances you would like held. Consider the largest tolerance you CONES can effectively use. Difficult tolerances will increase part costs so plan these carefully. Specify only what your part needs. TOOLING Tooling made of steel will have the longest life and should hold the closest tolerances. Temporary tooling made of wood or VENTURI composites typically will cost less and usually has a shorter life. Acme offers both tooling styles and will work closely with you to make the correct choice. DESIGN CONSULTATION Communicate early on in your design. The sooner your design engineering people RE-ENTRANT FLARED talk with us, the more effectively we can be in applying our metal spinning expertise to your part design. ACME employs the latest CAD technology to ensure quality results.
