What ACME Electronics does

ACME Electronics is a Vadodara, India-based manufacturer of programmable coil winding machines founded in 1998 by Alpesh Patel. The company designs and produces a comprehensive portfolio of linear, toroidal, and specialized/customized winding machines spanning wire sizes from 0.017mm to 5.00mm and coil diameters from 0.5mm to 800mm, organized into named series (AES, AEX, AE2X, AEW, AEH, AEF, AEM for linear; LT-04, MT-06S, MT-06B for toroidal) plus custom machines for LVDT, R-core, flyer, spiral, and flexible strip winding. Core technology centers on proprietary 8 and 16-bit microcontroller-based electronic control units with modular plug-in connectors for global serviceability, achieving precision metrics of 0.05 turns accuracy and 0.001mm pitch accuracy on the AES servo-based series with HMI interface.

The company serves transformer manufacturers, motor producers, medical device companies, defense and satellite programs (including ISRO and India's Ministry of Defence), power electronics firms, audio equipment makers, and industrial OEMs, with cited customer logos spanning GE, ABB, Hitachi, V-Guard, CG Power, Luminous, Su-Kam, and Genus Power. Revenue is generated through direct hardware sales of complete machine systems (mechanical units plus electronic control units), with pricing not publicly disclosed and customer engagement initiated via website inquiry specifying winding requirements. Distribution is handled through the company's Indian headquarters for South Asia and a US-based group company, Acme Mechatronics, Inc. (Northlake, TX), covering North America, South America, and Europe. The company claims 5000+ installations across 50+ countries and 7 continents, operates with 11-50 employees, and is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
