Today, 01/29/2025, we finalized the installation of control system for a roller mill at a local feed company. This system controls the startup, and shutdown, of four 50HP motors on the roller mill, as well as related augers and elevator legs. There are provisions for monitoring motion of all motors, as well as email alerts […]
Automated Conveyor Line Controls and Integration for Mfg. of Wood Windows Complete control panel that included PLC, HMI, Drives, with remote HMI station The system controls 7 conveyors, and 2 turn tables, and is interlocked with downstream plant equipment. We provided the complete control system, along with detailed schematics, and full installation and startup services.
This project included upgrading a very old Allen Bradley SLC controller to a newer MicroLogix PLC. This controller was on an automatic pallet stretch wrapping machine, part of a robotic palletizer line. We replaced the old PLC with a new one, also replaced much of the original panel wiring. Old PLC: New PLC:
We have completed a control system for an infeed sorting device that feeds a large format inkjet printer. This system will sense incoming boards into the printer, and will raise and lower a guidance system to keep the boards tracking straight into the printer. We used an M221 PLC from Schneider Electric, and safety light […]
This is a small project we did to control an industrial hot water pressure washer at a meat processing facility. We installed a Horner APG PLC/HMI to use as the front end, and also to provide PID control for constant pressure. The PLC was wired to a pressure transducer to sense the line pressure. The […]
This is to document a small control panel we built for a portable metal milling head X-Y axis control. The machine is owned by a local machine shop and is used to resurface steel platens in the paper, printing, and milling industries, where the project is so large, it warrants bringing the milling machine to […]
This is a documentation of an automated control system we designed, built, and installed for an automated saw machine. The machine was built by a local tool and die shop, and was installed for production at a wood window and door factory. We were commissioned to build the control system by the tool and die […]
