Acme Technologies was founded in Norwalk, CT in 1995 by Wayne K. Walrath. We're a cottage business operated (more or less) out of a cottage in New York's Catskill mountains. Our emphasis is and always has been on clean, intuitive software design, oriented towards areas of process automation, networking and collaboration. Our experience is in Web-based solutions (CGI, relational databases, Internet protocols, open-source software), Macintosh and Unix software design, Java, and various Macintosh-specific applications such as FileMaker Pro and AppleScript. We are currently fans of Java, PHP4, Apache and MySQL and (forever...) BBEdit.
Alphatech Group 2004 (Thailand) Co.,Ltd. was founded in 2001 to meet the growing need for reliable general purpose optical and video inspection solutions for the electronics and PCB industries. We began with basic stereo zoom microscopes used for SMT inspection and rework of circuit boards and electromechanical assemblies with a commitment to quality, value, and support.

Our latest camera technology is HD quality with integrated image capture to flash memory drives or USB 2.0 interface. In 2003 Alphatech offered our first video coordinate measuring machines because of an expanding customer base with more sophisticated inspection requirements and applications. We found that more of our customers wanted the ability to measure very small features in addition to their inspection requirements. In keeping with our mission to offer value and quality, machines are designed with granite base and z-column, steel measuring stages with cross-roller bearings, and precision optics and digital camera. Our current product line includes a variety of machine designs and advanced measurement software with an intuitive interface. The systems are so user friendly that a dedicated operator is not required. Alphatech began our most significant new product development in 2000, micro-focus x-ray, due to increasing popularity of ...
