Controls & Automation

To assist customers across industries in meeting critical process demands, at C&N Manufacturing we are proud to offer industrial automation solutions along with custom controls design.

Our competencies include machine tie-ins, retrofitting, and upgrading as well as turnkey solutions and specialty machinery. We also boast specialized experience in equipment for material handling and assembly. System sizes from a single cell up to 80’ lines are accommodated, incorporating components such as conveyors, leak testers, robots, and quality control aspects including vision systems and various sensors.

Customers can receive stand alone and small assembly line configurations. Our portfolio includes a range of system types to handle a variety of customer operations including pack in/pack out, error proofing, part inspections, pick and place transfer equipment, and front and rear end fascia.

Robotic workstations and systems include inspection systems, auto tracking, and unloading cells. Manual, automatic, and PLC control modes are possible. Systems integrations include hardwire and wireless network integration, SCADA data gathering and analysis software, and full service controls. Other available integrations include Zebra printer, Telesis dot peen marker, laser markers, barcode and 2D marker scanners, and 3D displacement sensors. Our project managers guide customers through all manufacturing phases from design, to building, installation, and training.

Our experience with controls programming, modifications, and electrical designs allow customers to achieve solutions tailored to their operations. We are equipped to handle all aspects of machine control assemblies including complete panel builds, upgrades, and integrations. We manage hardware and software design of custom interfaces including HMI or operator interfacing, and web page interfacing. Our electrical panel designs include furnished CAD drawings. PLC platforms include Allen Bradley, Siemens, and GE. All of our products and processes are in strict conformance with the highest standards of industry, highlighted in our AS9100C, ISO, COGNEX , certifications, as well as our AIA certification as an advanced level vision professional.

All of our products and processes are in strict conformance with the highest standards of the industry. For more details about our custom automation and controls solutions, or our other innovative capabilities please see the table below or contact us directly.
