ACRO has served the appliance industry for over 20 years with specific emphasis on specialty joining, forming and assembly processes.  We have a strong welding and assembly background and our machines/lines are in operation in Appliance manufacturers throughout North America.

Appliances

The complex assortment of mechanical, plastic and electronic components making up today’s appliances washers and dryers requires a supplier with experience and know-how to get the job done.  ACRO’s welding, forming and assembly machinery experience includes:

• Washers
• Dryers
• Dishwashers
• Ranges
• Refrigerators

Applications

ACRO’s unique blend of welding process knowledge and assembly know-how has enabled combinations of processes on a common line or machine.  This saves time, capital while providing the required throughput.  Some of the applications we have performed include: 

• Inner panels – punch outs, assembly
• Structural Frames – tub structures
• Cabinet panels – forming of panels and cosmetic corner welding
• Grates – Resistance welding of grates prior to coating
• Evaporators – assembly, forming, crimping, epoxy and spine fin application

Processes

ACRO was built on the foundation that tooling and process expertise is the glue that holds all other aspects of the manufacturing cell together.  If these aspects are not well thought out and implemented, then success is an accident.  ACRO takes pride in our ability to bring the best processes together with the best tooling concepts enabling automation systems to be successful.

• Joining Processes – tox locking, Plasma, GTA and Laser welding
• System Platforms – stand-alone dedicated machines, power-n-free conveyors, palletized, etc.
• Other processes - plastic inner panel punch outs
• Tooling Expertise – without the tooling to properly locate features of your parts accurately, not machinery will be successful
