01
Design & Engineer
Layout, mechanical design, and controls engineering, sized to your product, footprint, and line speed.
Capabilities
One-stop shop. The whole system.
Conveyors, packaging equipment, and integrated systems, engineered, fabricated, programmed, and installed under one roof in Joliet. One team owns the project from concept sketch to startup, so there are no middlemen passing the buck when the line has to run.
01 Under One Roof
Everyone who
Everyone who
builds it is here.
Mechanical and electrical engineers, fabricators, programmers, and field techs work the same floor.
Most integrators farm out their fabrication, their controls, or their programming and then stitch the schedule together by phone. We don't. When a design changes on Tuesday, the people building it hear about it Tuesday. That keeps lead times honest and keeps accountability in one place when your line goes live.
01
Conveyors
Every conveyor engineered around your product, footprint, and throughput. Frames, drives, guarding, and controls are built in Joliet, Illinois.

- Powered roller, modular plastic belt, pallet, slider bed, transfers, accumulators and lifts
- Engineered around your product, footprint, and throughput
- Frames, drives, guarding, and controls built in Joliet
02
Packaging Equipment
The work the line does between transfers. Case shakers, check weighers, count fillers, pack-off stations, pallet dispensers, denesters, and merging/combining systems, tied into one control scheme.

Integrated Systems
Concept, engineering, fabrication, controls, PLC and HMI programming, robotics, assembly, testing, installation, and startup, managed end to end by one accountable team that knows the whole line, not just one box on it.

- Single point of contact from quote through startup
- Mechanical and controls engineering on the same team
- Factory-tested before it ships, started up on your floor
Controls for every system are built in-house in our UL 508A certified panel shop. About our panel shop
02 How A Project Runs
Four stages,
Four stages,
one team.
No handoffs to a separate fab vendor or controls house. The same group carries it through.
02
Fabricate & Build
Parts cut and welded in the shop while the controls and programming run in parallel.
03
Assemble & Test
The system goes together on our floor and runs through factory acceptance testing before it ships.
04
Install & Support
We set it, wire it, start it up, and stay reachable for service once you're running.
Robotics & Automation
03 Robotics
Robots where
Robots where
they pay off.
We integrate FANUC robots for robotic pick and place and palletizing systems. The cell is engineered alongside the conveyor and controls, not bolted on after the fact, so guarding, safety circuits, and the PLC all speak to each other from day one.
- FANUC palletizing and case-packing cells
- Guarding and safety circuits engineered into the cell
04 Certifications
Built to the
Built to the
right standard.
Compliance is part of the build, not paperwork chased after the fact.
- OSHA / ANSI-compliant guarding designed into every line
- UL-508A labeled control panel shop, audited and current
- cUL listed for panels destined for Canadian sites
- CE marking available for equipment headed for export
05 Custom Fabricated Parts
Custom fabricated parts.
Our in-house laser parts division builds custom steel parts to meet many different customer requirements. Sheet metal is first cut on our CNC laser, accurate to 0.003″ (the average diameter of a human hair), and then bent on our CNC folder. Our machine shop ensures that parts are accurately fabricated to exact custom specifications.
Manufacturing begins at the quoting process, where our engineers rapidly estimate costs and design parts for customers. We are well-equipped to field questions and adapt to meet customer requirements. Our robust, efficient fabrication system allows us to quote, build, and ship orders in the time it takes other companies to deliver an estimate.
