December 2024 marks two significant milestones for ABX Engineering: 10 years in the new state-of-the-art factory and 40 years in business. ABX is proud to be a trusted American manufacturer of high-quality electronics, printed circuit board assemblies, and electro-mechanical builds. Over the years, ABX has continually expanded its customer base across the United States.
ABX’s success is built on three key pillars: quality, on-time delivery, and exceptional customer service. These values have been the foundation of ABX from day one.
ABX remains committed to exceeding customer expectations with every project. As ABX celebrates these incredible achievements, ABX recognizes the ABX team, whose dedication and hard work drive ABX’s success. The team’s commitment to customer satisfaction is what sets ABX apart and helps ABX grow year after year.
With 40 plus years of experience in materials management, high technology production, and testing, ABX is a leading CM in producing higher technology products, from circuit boards to complete turn-key systems, conducting manufacturing for industries including medical, life sciences, aviation, lighting, broadcast, commercial, industrial, research, and other customers.

To continue to support customers more challenging SMT builds with smaller components and higher density PCBA’s, ABX Engineering has upgraded another SMT line with the SIPLACE SX1/SX2
The SIPLACE SX1/SX2 will support components as small as 0201 (metric), with a component placement accuracy of ± 22 μm (3σ) and can utilize uto 120 tape feeder modules.
ABX has 3 SMT lines (two featuring the SIPLACE SX1/SX2) supporting component placements of average up to 245,000 components per hour. The lines feature fully automated in-line stackers, solder paste screeners with laser height application/measurement and reflow ovens.
With over 35 years of experience in materials management, high technology production and test, ABX is a leading CM in producing higher technology products, from circuit boards to complete turn-key systems, conducting manufacturing for industries including medical, life-sciences, aviation, lighting, broadcast, commercial, industrial, research and other customers.
The growing threat of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) has become a global issue that is impacting all of our lives. The management at ABX Engineering would like you to know that we are taking every precaution to minimize its impact on our employees and our ability to support our customers.
ABX Engineering builds products for customers used in instruments that are researching the coronavirus COVID-19 and products used in instruments to detect COVID-19 as well as to help monitor impacted patients. With this consideration ABX continues to be in production to support our customers, many of which are in Medical, Life Science, Military, Defense, Research, Infrastructure and other sectors.
To keep our customers and employees safe and healthy, we are regularly disinfecting and cleaning all surfaces. Where possible our office employees are currently working from home. Additionally, we have implemented travel ban for our employees and at this time are not allowing visitors in our facilities.
In 2019 ABX Engineering celebrates over 39 years of serving our customers offering full turnkey manufacturing, from new product introduction through volume turnkey manufacturing and Electromechanical Assembly.
To further enhance ABX’s SMT capabilities, ABX has added Koh Young Technology KY8030-3 3D In-Line Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) equipment
Typically over 70% of the defects in the SMT process are caused during solder printing. By optimizing the printing process, the SMT line realizes maximum yields in downstream stages of pick & place and reflow and overall product quality as related to component placement and soldering is improved.
The Koh Young Technology KY8030-3 is part of a closed loop with the printing process monitoring production status with real time communications between the solder paste printer and the SPI.
ABX has been able to maintain a 99.7% plus customer pass rate for PCBA’s, with the addition of the Koh Young Technology KY8030-3 ABX will continue to strive to achieve a 100% customer acceptance/pass rate for ABX manufactured PCBA’s!
