Ace Metal Spinning, Inc.

Ace Metal Spinning was contracted to manufacture an aluminum light housing using our advanced metal spinning systems. The customer needed 2000 units in three different sizes for pedestal lighting in parking lots across the United States. With over 65 years of precision metal spinning experience, we employed our spinning lathes, punch presses, and trim and bead machines to manufacture high-quality outdoor light housings to our customer’s specifications using 2D CAD drawings. Our engineering department assisted with the tooling design and prototyping of the three different sizes of pedestal light housings, demonstrating our capabilities to create products of varying diameter and depth. Using dimensional and visual inspection to ensure high quality during the manufacturing process, these .080” thick aluminum housing components are spun in the following sizes: part A is 20.5“ in diameter by 7.5” high, part B is 24” in diameter by 8.75” high, and part C is 28” in diameter by 10 38” high. Our state-of-the-art equipment fully engaged our spinning processes: spinning, trimming, beading, forming, and punching aluminum to create light housing products with tolerances of ± .030”, all with a turnaround time of two weeks.

When a customer needed custom-designed brass horns for a warning siren application, Ace Metal Spinning was hired to complete the job using our advanced metal CNC spinning equipment. This was a challenging assignment which highlighted our design and engineering capabilities, as this was a difficult brass spinning to create. We engaged our CNC lathe, punch press, and trim and bead machines to spin and combine multiple pieces into an assembled horn. Consulting our engineering team for their tooling design, reverse engineering, and product developmentprototyping expertise, we designed these important components to customer specification using 2D CAD drawings while ensuring that the product met RoHS standards. The horns are made with .032" thick brass, are 15" in length, 4" wide, with a tolerance of +- .015". Our state-of-the-art equipment produced these safety products by CNC spinning, trimming, hemming, and then soldering the multiple pieces together. We have gauge and visual inspections throughout the process to ensure the highest quality and dimensional requirements. In assembling these products we use lead free solder, to be RoHS compliant, a thread gauge to ensure the threaded bushing is in tolerance, and a height gauge to verify the overall height is within print tolerance as well. The turnaround time to start this project was just 5 weeks, with 150 to 250 custom-designed warning siren brass horns per Kan-Ban release shipped for our customer to be used across the USA.

When customers needed high quality HVAC, roofing, and ventilation system components, Ace Metal Spinning took on the project. We used aluminum, steel, copper, and electro-galvanized steel on our state-of-the-art spinning lathes, punch presses, and trim and bead machines, creating components with dimensions that varied in diameter and depth. We constructed breather roofing vents, roof pipe adapters, and tube adapters per our customer’s specifications using sketches and 2D CAD drawings. The high quality products for the ventilation, roofing, and HVAC industries that we produce also included inletoutlet adapters, shrouds and end caps for air filtration systems. To meet our customer’s requirements, we engaged our engineering department for tooling design, reverse engineering, and product developmentprototyping. These products had tolerances of ± .015”, with materials that ranged in thickness for aluminum from .040” to .125”, steel from 16GA to 22GA, and copper from .040” to .080”. Our fast turnaround times produced our first prototypes in one week, with final production numbers ranging up to the tens of thousands. Our high quality, custom-spun HVAC, roofing, and ventilation system components are delivered to clients nationwide.

A clock manufacturer needed multiple cold rolled steel and aluminum parts for a promotional clock assembly. With over 65 years in the metal spinning industry, Ace Metal Spinning quoted the parts and was awarded the project. The construction of clocks is complex, and our knowledgeable staff and spinning department was up to the task. We employed our spinning lathes, punch presses, trimming and beading machines, and kickfoot presses to fabricate and spin the multiple steel and aluminum components required to make one complete unit. Using customer-supplied print and 2D CAD drawings, our engineering team fully utilized their specialties of tooling design, reverse engineering, and product developmentprototyping to help create 18 gauge steel and .050” aluminum clock parts with tolerances of ± .015”. Sizing checks were done throughout to maintain the high quality and fit of the clock parts, which were 15” in diameter and 3.5” high when completed. We were able to complete this project for our client in three weeks, and now our advanced metal spinning systems spin, punch, trim, and brush finish 3000 of these components per year, which are delivered to locations around the world. To learn more about this specialized project of spinning cold rolled steel for clock parts, or to find out how we can put our capabilities to work for you, see the chart below or contact Ace Metal Spinning directly.

To address the important field of industry safety, a customer hired Ace Metal Spinning to construct safety product components suitable for a wide range of industries. Our metal spinning lathes, punch presses, and trim and bead machines were employed to create components to protect people from potentially dangerous situations. We manufacture high quality bells and horns as warning devices, bases and mounts for flashingstrobe safety lights, and funnels, cans, and lids for fireexplosion proof containers. All of these components are made from high-quality aluminum, steel, copper, brass, stainless steel, and electro-galvanized steel and are manufactured to tolerances of ±.015” and various part dimensions. Our engineering department aided in custom-designing these articles, providing tooling and design, reverse engineering, and product development. We offer fast turnaround times, in fact the first prototypes for these products were completed in just one week. Our plant’s capacity allowed us to create the components in volumes from single prototypes to the tens of thousands. When completed, these fine components were delivered to customers all across the USA. Our metal-spun safety product components provide vital protection for all industries that use them.

Customers in the lighting industry needed reflectors, housings, mounting rings, and trim rings. These are custom-designed and manufactured using aluminum, steel, brass, and copper. We created the lighting components using our state-of-the-art spinning lathes, punch presses, and trim and bead machines, with overall part dimensions up to 60” in diameter of various depths by component. We used our advanced metal spinning systems for spinning, cutting and beading the required metals per our customer’s specifications, with thickness for aluminum of .040” to .125”, for steel 16GA to 22GA of thickness, and for brass and copper .040” to .080” of thickness, all with tolerances of ± .015”. Our engineering department provided all of the tooling design, reverse engineering, and product developmentprototyping. Our team created the first prototypes in as early as one week from inception using 2D CAD drawings supplied by our client. Our plant created these components from individual prototypes to volumes of tens of thousands, including anodizing, painting, brushing, and polishing. Our finished steel, brass, and copper components for the lighting industry are delivered nationwide. For more information about these projects, please see the table below or contact us directly.
