METAL SPINNING OF LARGE STAINLESS OR ALUMINUM PARTS
Acme Metal Spinning (Minneapolis, MN) fabricates large components, such as stainless steel and aluminum tank heads, holding tanks, vessels, and cylindrical parts in small to medium quantities. Ranging in diameters up to 140 in, these tank heads are manufactured using Acme?s metal spinning processes to have uniform wall thickness, unblemished surface finish, and are geometrically consistent part-to-part and run-to-run. Where required, the smooth surface finish of these parts provides an excellent base for high gloss metallic paint.
Acme?s metal spinning process is a method of forming flat metal discs or pre-formed metal workpieces on CNC metal spinning lathes into conical, hemispherical and cylindrical shapes. Acme produces parts on a variety of specially designed CNC equipment that includes 100 hp, 2-roller spinning systems. Acme utilizes a full range of hand-, hydraulic- and CNC-controlled spinning lathes, and 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. Or custom tooling can be quickly 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, aluminum, copper, brass and precious metals.
