Acme Manufacturing continues to create innovative solutions to some of the most complex finishing problems
Having provided high-quality tools to the metal finishing industry since 1910, there’ s no better surface treatment problem solver than Acme Manufacturing( Acme). With extensive knowledge built over more than a century in the industry, it’ s no surprise that Acme is the preferred supplier across a broad spectrum of industries and applications. Whether it’ s deburring, polishing, buffing, grinding, or the company’ s innovative centerless grinding technology, Acme strives to solve the most complex customer problems.
As the industry has evolved, Acme has shifted to provide robotic material removal for grinding, polishing, buffing, and deburring, offering significant cost savings and greater value to its customers. To delve deeper into the company’ s history, capabilities, and current developments, we sit down with President and CEO, Fritz Carlson.
“ Acme was founded in 1910 by my great-grandfather, Gustav, who was a Swedish immigrant and a tool maker interested in tooling design and machine tools,” Fritz opens.“ Although we’ ve never deviated from material removal applications, a majority of our finishing systems over the last 40 years are robotic, using six axis robotic arms to conduct the process. We’ re known as problem solvers; customers approach us with their finishing challenges, and we engineer a solution that automates what they’ re currently doing manually.
