ENGINEERING and TECHNICAL PERSONELL
The Engineering and Technical personnel are located in the area we call “The Cloud”.
That is offices located on the upper level.
Steve is the Manufacturing Engineer that has designed all the equipment that we manufacture, both past and present. He is always making improvements to his designs and is very knowledgeable about everything related to how the components are manufactured and work together. Steve’s vast knowledge of many things including electrical, pneumatics and hydraulics, metals and production are key to our operation.
Rick runs more of the software and technical end of things here at Acer. When you call for support, you will be talking to Rick. Rick is also the person who thoroughly tests each system before it ships. As designs evolve, Rick will be the person that puts the changes through a workout. He also works with the programmer to develop the software as well as drafting the electrical diagrams.
Dan is our CAD person, working with Steve on manufacturing and assembly drawings. Dan works up the layouts for each system Acer sells as well. He figures up what you need for each system; fence panels, posts, carts, cable lengths. He is a great asset to Acer.
