Q. Can you do small runs?

A. Absolutely.

As a dedicated service organization, we have NEVER turned a customer away due to low volume. We work with several companies that place small-run orders.

Early on, we dedicated ourselves to serving you in whatever capacity would help you to accomplish the purposes and goals you have set for yourself or your company.

Q. Are you certified to ISO 9000 or higher?

Q. What specifications do you work to?

A. Our operative specification is IPC-610 and the applicable updates.

All of our work is performed minimally to IPC-610 Class II & III Standards and is done in accordance with the quality practices set forth by the FDA in its Good Manufacturing Practice requirements.

For cables and wire harnesses, we build to IPC/WHMA-A-620 standards.

Some of our clientele are suppliers to the Commercial Aircraft Industry and various branches of the military. We are proficient at working to these higher standards and can customize a set of instructions to meet any known specifications needed by the customer.

Q. Can you place fine-pitch surface-mount components?

A. Yes.

We are very proficient at placing very small, fine-pitch surface-mount components. Our personnel have the experience and access to the proper tools to accomplish this type of task to machine-like precision and appearance. Many of our customers are amazed by the expert surface mount placement we do for them.

Q. Can you design this? Can you manufacture that?

A. It depends.

We would love to say “Well of course we can!!!!” every time we hear that question! Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Very large, or very complex design and manufacturing projects can tax our resources and on occasion we have to say no. But, you can count on a timely, honest response for any project you may have on your plate. If we can do it, we will advise you. If not, you will know that as well, and we’ll do everything in our power to point you to the people who can!

The best way to determine our ability to do your job is to complete our Get A Quote form. This is an easy way to send us the pertinent data. You will receive a response within 24 hours, sometimes within minutes.

Q. What is your normal turnaround time?

A. Our standard turnaround time for any one project is 3 weeks. And, we can often modify production and delivery to meet your needs.

  • We can expedite your order, sometimes for a nominal fee.
  • We can schedule your orders to meet your needs, including weekly, monthly, or any time increment you request.
  • We can provide just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing.

A few customers think the same day, or the next day at the latest, is a normal turnaround time. We have discovered that nothing is “normal” in the manufacturing world.  As a service company, we are as flexible as humanly possible to meet your needs.

You tell us what you need, and we’ll do everything in our power to make it happen.

Q. What are your testing capabilities?

A. The “Technical” in TASC means testing.

We are very skilled at designing and building custom test fixtures and test beds for almost anything. And we have the personnel on board to ensure that your product performs per your specifications. All of our turnkey manufacturing projects are fully functional tested before they ship out the door to your facility.

We have a full array of the necessary test equipment, from Digital O-Scopes to Function Generators, in our Test and Repair Department.

Q. What are my payment options?

A. Net 30, Credit Card, and COD.

Sometimes we require a prepayment, depending on the project and client history.

Q. Can TASC assist us with documentation to build?

A. Our designers will assist you with the Bill of Materials (BOM), schematics, Gerber files, and drawings.

We evaluate documentation to build on a case-by-case basis. You can show us what you have, and we will let you know if it is sufficient to build on.
