SSAC Timers & Controls

ABB SSAC's CUSTOM PRODUCT PROGRAM

Product Research and Development
ABB SSAC has a large engineering staff that develops new products as well as improving existing products. Using state-of-the-art equipment and supplies, these experienced people design and modify standard products and custom controls.  ABB SSAC's engineering group regularly tests our standard and custom products in the actual equipment it controls. Each new design is subjected to a battery of tests before it is approved for production.

Custom Product Development
ABB SSAC is proud of its wide selection of standard products. These controls satisfy most applications. If you cannot find the exact control for your equipment in this catalog, call our application engineers. We may have already developed a similar custom control. ABB SSAC has over 4,500 custom project numbers on file. The design you require may be a slight modification of an existing design, or a complex development program using a microcomputer.

Complex or simple, ABB SSAC provides the required service. The process starts when you contact our application engineering group. After we receive a description of how your equipment must operate, we will process an estimate for design and production. We can design the control with conventional through hole components or with surface mount technology. For most designs, there is no charge for engineering. Free engineering is part of the service we provide.

Benefits of Selecting ABB SSAC As Your Custom Controls Supplier

1.  Design Experience
With more than 4,500 successful designs over the past 30+ years, we offer design experience in many areas of solid state equipment control.

2.  Lower Cost
A. No charges for engineering on most designs when accompanied by a production quantity order of a minimum of 500 pieces over one year. This could easily save you $20,000 to $100,000 in engineering costs.
B. ABB SSAC's high volume purchasing of raw materials means a lower component cost which gives you a competitive advantage. 

3.  Extensive Testing
ABB SSAC's Engineering Department runs a battery of tests on each design before it is approved and a prototype is sent to your engineering department for testing and approval. The design will not go into production until your company is satisfied it functions as expected in the equipment. This means you are less likely to get surprises when the first production units are placed in the field. 

4. Superior  Quality Control Program
Quality! Quality! Quality!  ABB SSAC is an ISO 9001 certified company.  In fact, ABB SSAC was the first US timer manufacture to become ISO 9001 certified.

5.   Automated Production Facilities
The latest in automated equipment, production documentation, and statistical process control assures that the manufactured product consistently meets our strict quality requirements, and design specifications. 

6.  Stable Business
ABB SSAC has been in business for over 30 years and continues to grow each year, ensuring that we will be in business should product revisions become necessary.

7.  Agency Approval
Our working knowledge of (UL) Underwriter's Laboratories Incorporated, (CSA) Canadian Standards Association, and (CE)Conformité Européenne means ABB SSAC's designs will pass when your equipment is submitted for approval.
