Path of Continual Improvement By Curt Williams, Vice President of Sales, ACC Electronix, Inc.


than 40 years. It is an ISO 9001-2015 certified con- tract manufacturer that got its start in 1976 by providing quality equipment to the broadcast in- dustry. In 1992, the company expanded on this foundation and began providing its electronic manufacturing and assembly services to other industries. Today ACC serves customers in the industrial, agricultural, off-road, construction, mining, and medical markets. From prototypes to proven designs, ACC

can help its customers achieve their goals for quality improvement, on-time delivery, invento- ry control and cost reduction. The company de- velops a custom formula to assist each cus- tomer. ACC’s process engineers work constantly


to improve their manufacturing processes. Im- provements range from selecting new manufac- turing equipment to selecting solder with im- proved formulations. Other benefits of working with ACC include design for manufacturability, design for testability and manufacturing process selection. ACC supports customers who have envi- ronmental concerns and need hardened elec-


CC Electronix has been providing world- class electronics manufacturing services (EMS) to a diverse customer base for more


tronic products (potting, conformal coating, adhe- sives, etc.). According to Mike Parker, vice presi- dent of manufacturing, ACC has experienced tremendous growth over the past two years as top- line revenue has grown over two and a half times. ACC has generated this growth by investing in the best equipment and capabilities, which adds value


for customers in terms of speed, quality and lower cost. Parker adds, “We show no signs of slowing down in 2019, based on current new product launches, as well as new customer demand.”


Keeping up with Growth To keep up with this rapid growth, ACC need-


ed to purchase new equipment. The company looked to its existing partner Kurtz Ersa. In 2019, ACC purchased its first dual-pot Ersa VersaFlow 4/55. Based on its excellent perform- ance, the company purchased and installed a second machine 12 months later. Parker stated that ACC chose this same


machine over any competitive systems because of Ersa’s long history in providing selective sol- der systems and its reputation for robust design and quality. ACC is already noticing measurable benefits


ACC values its employees and provides


regular training to help improve efficiency across the facility.


from having two of Ersa’s systems in its facility. “Our customers’ need for two-sided, mixed tech- nology with extremely tight component spacing has increasingly eliminated wave soldering as an effective process solution. The control and re- peatability of our VersaFlow machines allows our process engineering team to dial in the solder process for each joint, resulting in consistent
