Overview
ABB SSAC designs and manufactures electronic controls for original equipment manufacturers: commercial appliances, heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, vending equipment, pumping equipment, elevators, etc.; for process control and automation designers; obstruction lighting control designers; and for a large group of industrial customers and service contractors. Sales representatives and stocking distributors are located throughout the world.
In April 2001, a friendly takeover bid for the Entrelec Group was launched by ABB. This takeover bid was accepted and finalized in June 2001, thereby integrating Entrelec and thus SSAC Inc. into the ABB Group.
An ISO 9001 Company
For more than 30 years, ABB SSAC has achieved new levels of product, quality, and service. Our customers demand quality and they get it. ABB SSAC was the first North American Timers and Controls Company to have an ISO 9001 Registered quality system in place. Our ISO 9001 Quality Control Program monitors all aspects of the production process: from incoming material to shipment. At ABB SSAC we design quality products and then document our process. Our goal is to make every customer completely satisfied with the best products and services through continuous improvement and employee involvement.
Research and Development
The research and development group provides the vehicle for bringing forth new innovative products that meet today's and tomorrow's equipment requirements. It is not enough to provide accurate and stable controls. These controls must address the requirements of the application; this is the only way the target price can be achieved. We offer a wide selection of standard products; and if required, we will develop a product to meet your specific needs. If your need is for one piece or 100,000 pieces, we have the facilities, the equipment, and the people to produce your control when you need it.
Application Engineering
ABB SSAC's application engineers offer free assistance in solving all types of control problems. This group has the knowledge and ability to refer to numerous past and present designs, an extensive library of other manufacturer's controls and sensors, along with a working knowledge of many types of equipment and controls.
Product Design Experience
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 3,000 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.
Quality Control Program
ABB SSAC's Quality Policy: ABB SSAC's goal is to make every customer completely satisfied with the best products and services through continuous improvement and employee involvement. We understand the important role played by our Quality Control Program in making our products dependable, competitive, and responsive to our customer's needs. In order to fully realize our stated Quality Policy, we monitor the Quality of the incoming material, the quality of each step of the manufacturing process, and we continue to monitor the performance of units after sale and installation.
Documentation
ABB SSAC has a documented and implemented quality management system consistent with international standards for the design and manufacture of electronic controls. The quality system is documented in a quality manual, operating procedures, work instructions, process procedures, company technical standards, along with production and quality plans. This quality system is audited and reviewed to maintain the goals of continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.
Process and Product
Quality Control (QC) is responsible for ensuring that standards are met throughout the manufacturing cycle. ABB SSAC uses its Vendor Quality Program to monitor supplier quality and uses corrective action requests to improve supplier performance. QC plays an active role in product quality through in-process monitoring techniques including checks of documentation, electrical and mechanical parameters, and Statistical Process Control (SPC) methodology. At the end of the manufacturing process, QC conducts its final inspection of the product.
Quality from Start to Finish
We have invested heavily in our Quality Control Program. We did it to ensure that our customers will receive the best products available in every shipment. Our concern for quality extends back to our sources of material and reaches forward to our customers success with our product. We constantly reassess ourselves by critically examining the results of every product we manufacture.
