During 2001 A.C.P moved to a larger production unit and since then over 50% of our manufacturing plant has been replaced with the latest equipment demonstrating our continuing commitment to manufacture to the highest standard at a competitive cost.
Machinery
2 x 60 Ton Sysco auto balance receeding head cutting machinery
1 x 40 Ton Sysco auto balance receeding head cutting machinery
2 x Myca bandknife/saws
1 x Myca angle bandknife/contour cutter
1 x single head pure waterjet cutting system
1 x horizontal slitting machine
Waterjet cutting gives the following advantages:-
No harding or stress on materials
Small cutting width
Rapid prototyping
Material utilisation with CAD/CAM software
Profile tolerances +0.2mm
No material degradation, producing extremely smooth edges
Water cutting has a tremendous advantage over traditional manufacturing methods when dealing with thich rubbers and sponges or when customers are developing new products and require small quantities of different components. As no tooling is required and with a few simple keystrokes at the processor controller, infinite variations on dimensions are possible.
