Almost all of the
devices developed by Automation Techniques
include software
and controls. We are well versed in the
integration of electrical and mechanical
systems. Our systems have used both PC
based and PLC based processors.
We are experienced in developing operator
interfaces in Visual Basic and
Visual C++ on Windows NT and Window XP
platforms. Some of our systems
have been developed for touch screen
usage while others have been for
keyboard and mouse interface.
We routinely deal with communication
with various external devices such as
stepper and servo motors, bar code
printers and readers, electronic
balances/scales, temperature
monitoring devices, light curtains, etc.
We have developed software libraries
such as PID controllers that allow us
to
implement specialized controls without
having to purchase specialized
components.
When necessary, we can custom build circuit
boards for the devices we
design. For instance, limited space may
necessitate that we customize a
circuit board to make it fit inside the
device. This capability not only helps
us
overcome space limitations, it may also
reduce cost and overall machine
size, which can be particularly advantages
on higher volume projects.
