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.
