"I know that I'm bucking the trend here - usually when you add options at the car dealership, you add to the price. But we're doing just the opposite" says Al Cable, President of ACE. "But we've listened to our reps and our customers, and this is just the practical, full-featured, affordable system that so many contract manufacturers, job shops, and even mid-sized EMS companies need to implement selective soldering in their processes, and it's a critical need for many right now. This system fits their applications and their tight budgets perfectly."
