Custom machines

Custom machine building

Purpose-built equipment for the jobs standard machines don't fit. We model it, fabricate it, wire it, program it and start it up on your floor.

Carts, fixtures and tooling

Blue and yellow steel pipe cart with tow hitch and casters

Pneumatic bending fixture with a curved form on an aluminum plate

ASSEMBLY DRAWING Assembly drawing of a case erector with conveyor, frame, control enclosure and printer

Every build starts as a drawing set.

Robotic cells

Robotic cells, palletizers and risers

Complete robot cells built around your product: the robot, the riser it stands on, the guarding, the conveyors and the controls, designed and built in one shop.

Pick cells and palletizing

Production monitoring

Robot Risers KPI

We connect the sensors and machines on your line to one system that watches every reading, warns you the moment something drifts, and records run time, downtime, output and OEE for every job.

01

Every reading, live

Temperatures, vacuum, pressure, vibration, motor current, line speed and room conditions, updated about once a second and saved to a log you can open in Excel.

02

Two-level alarms

A minor alarm turns the reading yellow and shows its allowed range. A major alarm flashes on every TV and sounds the floor horns.

03

TV dashboards

A live process diagram, sensor list and production numbers, sized to be read from across the floor.

04

Jobs and reports

Start a job with its spec and target. Changeover time is measured automatically, and every job ends with a PDF report.

05

OEE from real data

Availability × Performance × Quality, worked out from what the sensors recorded. Run time only counts while the line is actually making product.

06

Supervisor tablet

Start jobs, enter scrap and adjust limits from the floor. Anyone can look; every change needs the supervisor PIN.

Every sensor in one table

Set each sensor's alarm limits, calibration offset, alarm delay and horn, or switch it off. Changes reach the floor screens within seconds.
