Minneapolis, Minnesota: Metal
spinning of custom contoured and formed metal fabricated parts
from 1/4 inch up to 140 inches are available for a wide range
of applications from Acme Metal Spinning.
Designs include the use of
aluminum, mild steel and stainless steel in thicknesses to 1/4
inch and often incorporate very tight corners, sharp bends and
fine finishes.
These parts are utilized in
critical medical devices, for chemical processing, in vacuum
systems, dust collecting systems and for architectural design
applications. Through the use of Acme's metal spinning processes,
higher quality, lower cost part solutions are possible compared
to deep drawing, stamping, hydroforming or die casting.
Acme Metal Spinning produces
parts on a variety of specially designed CNC equipment which
include 100 horsepower 2-roller spinning systems capable of shaping
.750 inch thick mild steel in up to 48 inch diameter. Acme also
utilizes a full range of hand, hydraulic and CNC controlled spinning
lathes, trimming and beading machines.
To facilitate fast part design
and production, Acme maintains a large inventory of various sized
tools for hemispheres, cylinders, domes, cones and heads. Tooling
is produced in wood, steel and cast metal, depending on project
requirements. In most cases, wood tooling is the most economical
method providing fast turnaround for low to medium production
runs of various alloy steels, stainless steel, aluminum, copper,
brass and precious metals. From print to finished parts, shipment
often can be made within 72 hours.
In addition to helping keep
tool costs low, Acme's tooling often can be modified easily to
develop prototype parts, to test market a part design or to accommodate
a design change.
Acme Metal Spinning also provides
secondary value-added operations which include beading, trimming,
hole punching, circle shearing, and flanging (in/out). These
operations can enhance the part design without the need for an
additional source.
