Electric Vehicles
We are producing components ranging from battery interconnects, fuel cell plates, cooling plates, kinetic energy recovery system components & electric vehicle bus bars.
-
Quality Assurance
ACE operates a continuous improvement programme that works in tandem with our clients to satisfy their quality requirements, including APQP (FMEA, SPC, MSA and PPAP). This is backed up by using process control data and part measurement results to deliver consistent etched components within Six Sigma levels.
All measurements are carried out using industry-leading 3D CMM machines or 3D microscopes to verify physical sizes, etched feature 3D shapes and surface roughness.
-
Etched Prototypes
ACE can provide automotive and F1 prototypes to designers and engineers within hours of receiving CAD data. This means our customers can keep ahead of their competition when redesigning products. We use the same machines and process technology to produce parts from prototype phase to serial production.
-
Customer Focused
We can offer our experience in metals and processes to help customers keep costs down during the development stage. Investment in new state-of-the-art machining centres at our sister business ACE Forming has delivered faster turnaround times and more capacity.
