'''Acromag''' is an American company that manufactures embedded computing, process instrumentation, and distributed I/O products.

Established in 1957, Acromag started by building critical measurement instrumentation equipment for the petrochemical and aerospace industries. It went on to designs analog and digital control products for the industrial I/O and defense markets.

Acromag designed industrial I/O components which has led to developing ground loops, RFI/EMI noise, and temperature drift.<ref name="groundloop">{{cite web |url=http://www.controlglobal.com/wp_downloads/120925-acromag-two-wire-transmitters.html |title=Introduction to the 2-Wire Transmitter and 4-20mA Control Loop |year=2012 |publisher=Control Global |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121007114606/http://www.controlglobal.com/wp_downloads/120925-acromag-two-wire-transmitters.html |archive-date=October 7, 2012 }}</ref><ref name="noise">{{Cite web| url=http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2011/07/12/new-head-mount-thermocouple-transmitter-provides-from-wixoms-acromag/| title=New Head-Mount Thermocouple Transmitter from Wixom's Acromag| date=2011-07-12| archive-date=2023-08-10| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230810073432/https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/new-head-mount-thermocouple-transmitter-provides-from-wixoms-acromag/| url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="tempdrift">{{Cite web |url=http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-news/4167827/Transmitters-resist-temperature-drift |title=Transmitters resist temperature drift |date=April 10, 2000 |publisher=EE Times }}</ref> Many products are available with agency approvals such as UL, cUL, FM, CSA, CE, ATEX, and others to assure precise operation in hostile environments.

==History== Acromag was founded in 1957 by Henry Patton, an early developer of solid-state magnetic amplifiers. Expanding from its first location in Detroit, Michigan, (now Southfield), Acromag later moved its headquarters to Wixom, Michigan.

It acquired Xembedded, LLC (formerly XycomVME) in 2012.<ref name="press">{{Cite web |url=http://vita-technologies.com/articles/business-changes-ahead/ |title=Business barometer – Changes ahead? |date=February 27, 2016 |publisher=Vita Technologies |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307070545/http://vita.mil-embedded.com/articles/business-changes-ahead/ |archive-date=March 7, 2016 }}</ref>
