Acro Manufacturing Industries Limited is a gasket fabricator and die cutter that offers various product services, including flash cutting. This technique is used for projects that need dieless systems, and the company performs it with a state-of-the-art CNC machine to hold and cut precision materials from one one-thousandth to one inch thick. Among the advantages of flash cutting are optimal material use, fast prototyping and samples, and quick turnaround times for customer products and parts.

The process offers more customization options and enables easy production of prototypes from computer-assisted design, shaping every individual product in minutes. Flash cutting has numerous applications and is compatible with various materials, and since it produces clean edges with no concavity, it is ideal for projects in which aesthetics are crucial. Businesses use materials efficiently, while getting high precision and yield. As no tooling is necessary, there are no traditional tooling expenses or waiting times for tooling.

What distinguishes flash cutting from die cutting is that it employs a machine that holds a blade in place while accurately and cleanly cutting through the production material with precision measurements, while die cutting involves cutting a number of materials into shapes and designs, leaving an extended liner. Acro recommends flash cutting for the following products and applications:

• engine gaskets, housing gaskets, and other kinds of non-metallic gaskets
• filtration products
• heat-dissipative products
• heat foils
• noise and vibration dampeners
• personal protective equipment
• point-of-purchase signs and displays
• protective packaging and covers
• skid plates
• touchscreens
• traction-enhanced products

As the latest technology in industrial cutting, Acro’s CNC machinery further enhances its ability to make and fabricate custom components for original-equipment manufacturers from flexible materials. Acro also uses two ATOM Flashcut Flex 30155 dieless knife cutting tables. The company’s manufacturing and cutting area allows the team to cut parts of up to 3,050 by 1,550 millimetres in size.

Acro is the name to trust for fast, efficient, and inexpensive prototype and part production through flash cutting. Businesses are encouraged to get in touch with the company for more information on this innovative cutting process, as well as other products and services available.
