Our Lab area allows staging and testing of control systems before site installation.  The ability to test and simulate control conditions offsite optimizes the time spent onsite and results in a faster release to production of the final product.

Understanding that down-time is critical, we can also utilize this hardware base in emergency spare situations in order to identify a problem or get a machine back into production while a replacement is ordered.

We also keep sub-assemblies of equipment on hand to facilitate rapid prototyping for our customers.  Controllers and drive/motor systems are ready to be programmed for proof-of-concept applications.

The following are some examples of the components we have on hand to meet these goals.
