We evaluate each project individually and design a system that offers you the best automated control solution using the latest industrial machine control technologies and methods. Our team has expertise in both PLC and touch-screen HMI and PC machine controllers with database programming. Our machine control systems include all servo and motion positioning controls, parts feeders, conveyors, and sorting systems. For quality assurance, our automated assemblies can include measuring and vision inspection systems, all custom-tailored to meet your specific product requirements. Safety features are incorporated into every machine control system we build, and our designs make it easy for us to change, update, and re-program control systems as your business evolves.
