The panel is the electrical backbone of a cell — where every drive, sensor and safety device reports back. We design, build and wire ours in Hockley, Texas, and ship a complete schematic package with every system.
A panel for a custom cell is assembled in parallel with the mechanical build. These are the components a typical one carries, laid out for heat, for access and for the technician who will open it years from now.
A complete control panel with HMI integration.
01
Circuit breakers and motor protection
Sized to the loads in the cell, so a fault trips what it should and nothing else.
02
Variable frequency and servo drives
The drives for conveyors, gantries and servo axes, laid out for heat and for access.
03
Safety relays and safety-rated I/O
The safety circuit for fencing, light curtains and e-stops, wired as its own rated path.
04
PLC and network switches
The controller that runs the cell and the network that connects it to the rest of the line.
05
HMI touchscreen
The operator's window into the machine: run, adjust, change over and diagnose.
Once the panel is built
Controls integration and PLC programming
Our platform of choice for custom robotic cells is Omron's NX architecture, over EtherNet/IP with Safety over EtherCAT for safety I/O. This is what that stage covers.
01
I/O mapping
Every signal between the robot, sensors and actuators is mapped before anything is programmed.
02
HMI screen design
Screens built for the people who run the machine — operation, recipe changeover and clear status.
03
Safety zone logic
Safety logic tied to the fencing, light curtains and e-stops the cell is actually guarded with.
04
Line communication
Communication with the PLCs on the upstream and downstream equipment already on your floor.
05
Alarm and diagnostics
Alarm and diagnostic logic written so a stoppage explains itself instead of becoming a phone call.
Terminating EtherNet/IP and safety wiring inside an Omron NX control cabinet. Where a plant already runs Allen-Bradley or an equivalent platform, we integrate into that instead — a new cell should join your controls, not start a second island.
After the invoice
Built to be maintained by whoever opens it
A panel is judged on a bad day, at 2am, by someone who did not build it.
Wired and labeled to one standard
Panels are wired and labeled consistently, so a technician from our team or yours can trace a circuit without a translator.
A full schematic package
Every system ships with its complete electrical schematics — the difference between your electrician clearing a fault in an hour and waiting for us to fly out.
Supported from Texas
Panels are built and wired in house in Hockley, Texas, and supported by US-based technicians after start-up.
A sample page from the electrical schematics produced for every system we build. Panels are wired and labeled to a consistent standard so technicians — ours or yours — can troubleshoot the system throughout the equipment's life.
