Automated Control System Design

A customer had mechanically designed a 17-axis machine to weld layers of fiberglass sheets together and needed an automated control system to support its operation. The controls had to make a complex machine straightforward for multiple operators to use while supporting high production rates and consistent product quality.

Premier Automation was brought in to assist with the automated control system design for the customer’s machine. The design focus was coordinating its 17 axes within an operating approach that made the welding process manageable for the people running it.

Clear operation and repeatable machine control were central priorities, aligning the control system with the customer’s mechanical design and production requirements.

The project focused on giving the customer a practical way to operate its 17-axis fiberglass welding machine through automated controls. The intended outcome was consistent operation across multiple users, supporting the customer’s goals for production speed and product quality.
