Acromag, Inc. is a company that manufactures embedded computing, process instrumentation, and distributed I/O products.
Established in 1957, Acromag built its reputation designing critical measurement instrumentation equipment for the petrochemical and aerospace industries. It now designs analog and digital control products for the industrial I/O and defense markets.
Acromag's experience in designing industrial I/O has paved the way for solutions to ground loops,[1] RFI/EMI noise,[2] and temperature drift.[3] Many products are available with agency approvals such as UL, cUL, FM, CSA, CE, ATEX, and others to assure precise operation in hostile environments.
The company has three product divisions: Embedded Computing Solutions, Process Control and Automation Solutions and Contract Manufacturing Services. Its product lines focus on manufacturing, military, scientific, public utility, and transportation applications.
History
[edit]Acromag was founded in 1957 by Henry Patton, a pioneer in the development of solid-state magnetic amplifiers. Expanding from its first location in Detroit, Michigan, (now Southfield), Acromag headquarters currently reside in Wixom, Michigan.
It acquired Xembedded, LLC (formerly XycomVME) in 2012.[4]
