Delayed Shipments For All AC Tech & Lenze Products

Precision Electric, Inc has been losing a lot of orders lately due to AC Tech Corporation inventory problems. For the past couple of months AC Tech has not been committing to their normal ‘same day shipping’

“All of our products, including Lenze products have a 4-5 week lead time” This has been the typical response from AC Tech when asked about shipping time for all AC Tech products.

Precision Electric, Inc is not the least bit happy about this problem, however we have been able to come up with ideal solutions for our customers’ immediate needs.

Currently we are stocking AC Tech SMV drives in the 3hp, 5hp, and 10hp in all voltage ranges as well as all enclosure types, including Nema 1, Nema 4, and Nema 4X. This is one of Precision Electric immediate solutions for customers who are in need of a drive that is 10hp or less. We have also been replacing many of the AC Tech drives with competitor’s products, such as Baldor, and Leeson.

For the past couple of weeks I have noticed that AC Tech has been shipping orders much quicker than promised. For example, every order I’ve placed with AC Tech has shipped within 5-7 business days from the time I place order. These orders have been promised 4-5 week delivery, yet they have been shipping in 5-7 business days. I speculate by recent transactions that AC Tech is not having actual manufacturing delays, rather AC Tech is having inventory control problems.

I contacted AC Tech to find out about these problems and I was told that AC Tech is currently using new software for inventory control. This new software is causing all of the shipping delays. Unfortunatley AC Tech does not have an immediate solution for these problems. AC Tech is working around the clock trying to fix these issues, and Precision Electric has high hopes these problems are only temporary.

Precision Electric has edited the lead time/ship time on all of our eBay listings for AC Tech and Lenze products. In the meantime Precision Electric will be stocking AC Tech SMV drives available for immediate shipment, and we will also do our best to find comparable products for our customers who are in need of immediate solutions.
