Prototype Assembly

ACI Technologies specializes in small run prototype assembly services.

Our experienced engineers and technicians can craft processes that require a variety of surface mount technology (SMT) and plated through-hole (PTH) assembly techniques.

ACI can assist manufacturers that require process development with solder alloys not normally used in their processes, whether the alloy is a standard lead-free solder or a more unusual non-standard alloy. We specialize in assisting manufacturers that exclusively use tin-lead solders but are forced to use lead-free components due to a lack of availability of tin-lead versions of many parts in today’s market.

We can develop processes that are compliant to many industry specifications, especially J-STD-001. Manufactures can also receive assistance implementing a process originally developed at ACI on their own production system.
