At ACME PCB Assembly, we know that high-quality PCB assembly is critical for prototypes and medium-volume production. Unlike many contract manufacturers, we make advanced inspection technologies—Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) and Solder Paste Inspection (SPI)—affordable and accessible for small and medium runs.
AOI allows us to catch soldering defects, misaligned components, or missing parts immediately after assembly, preventing costly rework later. SPI ensures consistent and accurate solder paste application, reducing the risk of shorts, opens, or other assembly failures. Together, these tools give your PCBs the same quality and reliability that larger volume productions enjoy—but at a cost-effective scale for prototypes and small runs.
Many assembly houses either skip SPI and AOI for smaller runs due to cost constraints or only offer them for high-volume projects. At ACME PCB Assembly, we believe every project deserves the benefit of advanced inspection. This means you can trust that even a prototype batch or medium run will meet rigorous quality standards without paying for unnecessary volume.
Why choose ACME PCB Assembly:
- Affordable high-tech inspection: AOI and SPI available for small runs
- Fewer defects, less rework: Early detection saves time and money
- Fast, reliable turnaround: California-based facility ensures quick delivery
- Consistency & peace of mind: High-quality assemblies from start to finish
Partner with ACME PCB Assembly and gain the quality assurance that most small-run projects miss. Let us help you bring your prototypes and medium-run designs to market with confidence.
