Urethane Metal Backed Sheets. Available in many different sizes, materials, thicknesses and durometers. These sheets are versatile and come in handy when preparing items for quick and fast repairs. The urethane is bonded to the metal sheet in the process of pouring and casting. The glue and urethane are both heated up in the process allowing for a strong inseparable bond. These sheets are precision cast meaning that the face is completely flat and blemish free.

The uses for urethane on metal backed sheets are endless in the maintenance and industrial field as well as packaging and automation. They can even serve as a base for precision water jetting of OEM parts. Cut, drill and saw this material to suit your needs. All standard metal sheet sizing is 10GA. (.135) Mild Steel. We can bond this to thinner / thicker mild steel or aluminum. Have an exotic application or material that you need our urethane bonded to?

Getting large radius forming to work correctly can be difficult with expensive tooling costs and further unwanted marks on the finished material. With the right durometer of urethane and specifically designed punch and die retainers a lot of the headaches can be relieved. Our custom machined and finished punches are the perfect start to an exact part. With this punch design we are able to determine the other necessary components that will fit your application or the exact radius you are looking for. The die retainer box can be used for so many different types of punches and radius making this economical and long lasting. The urethane in this application is able to act like a liquid under pressure to support the sheet metal when forming. Fewer hits as well as no marking of the material is really what makes this type of product work for so many. If you have questions about this type of product or would like to discuss options please feel free to Contact Us anytime.

Acrotech has a 500-9201 tool holster that is perfect for smaller electric grinding tools. If you are in a production environment or an at home enthusiast we have you covered. Shown here is a commonly used electric grinder. Works well with any tool that is 2″ in diameter or less for fast entry and removal. Our urethane is strong enough to keep its shape yet soft enough to not scratch or damage the tool. You can leave the attachment on in most cases when storing the unit. This holster is robust enough to be mounted in most configurations with a small footprint of an overall length of 6.5″

Also works great but not limited to the following:

• Elecctric Screwdrivers
• Die Grinders
• Small bottles or spray cans
• Longer, delicate items
• Production fastners

Have an idea for one of these tool holsters? Want to make a custom holder for a tool? contact us for more information or to submit your print. We can make these in any color or durometer that you wish.

New Youtube video is now up for the urethane press brake dies. These dies are made from strong and resilient 75D urethane. They are made to mimic a steel v-die but take away the scratching and marring that is normally associated with standard steel press brake dies. They are able to handle everything a steel die can and really shine in high production use where multiple and repetitive bends are common. These are sold in 12″, 24″, 36″ and 48″ lengths. They can be butted together for longer or custom lengths. If you are interested in a product like this or have an idea for using this product please contact us and let us know.

We have added two new YouTube videos to our channel. These are featuring our LD machine. This machine makes quick work of most smaller rolling jobs. If you are interested in speaking with an engineer or getting a quote please click here.

Acrotech Inc. is approved under the FDA guidelines section #177.21000 Subpart F to manufacture urethane parts suitable for use in the food industry. The high durability and abrasion resistance of the urethane makes it a very suitable choice for the food industry. If you have applications that require constant contact with food we can certainly be of assistance. We can manufacture food conveyor line parts, bumpers, rollers, compactors, bins, hoppers and more.

Pictured below is a very large roller that is awaiting final grinding to the exact specified size. We poured this at 53″ long x 9″ in diameter. The finalized grind will be put on it and it will be ready for final inspection and sent to the customer.

We would welcome the opportunity to quote your next FDA compliant part. We can handle all sizes and shapes of parts that you may need. Small to big we are competitive with rapid turnaround. Contact us here for a quote!

Normally our rolling machines are standard with our 90A Durometer Urethane Roller. This provides a general all-in-one type of roller capable of handling thick to thin metals and able to be delicate enough to handle pre-cut and perforated metals. In addition the medium-hard 90A durometer has slits cut in the roller to help aid in dispersing loads. Works great for most but there are some applications where it is just too hard. We are currently building a custom unit for a customer with an 80A durometer roller on it to provide a very delicate surface for forming extremely thin and pre-cut materials. This roller does not have the slits cut in it because it would further the possibility of it marking the sensitive materials. The material is precision ground to the correct diameter and mated up to the die roller for a perfect and consistent roll every time. This is a combination that will allow very delicate, thin and decorated metals to pass through without issue.

If you find yourself limited in production capabilities and or are wondering if we can handle anything different that you might have an application for. Do not hesitate to contact us we will be happy to answer any and all questions you might have.
