Please check out some of the industrial automation projects we worked on in the past couple years. Industrial Automation Solution has been involved in a number of divers projects. The list below shows some of the more interesting projects and in most cases there are videos that show the development of the project as it takes place in our shop.
Robot Testing Cell for Fuel Isolation Rods
A Local Aerospace company that manufactures fuel isolation rods was looking to automate their quality control testing procedure. Industrial Automation Solution was contracted to build a robotic testing cell to weight the parts and measure resistance using a Hypot.

Geothermal Heat Engine
Industrial Automation Solution was approached by NovelTherm to build the controls for their geothermal heat engine. NovelTherm is an innovator in the geothermal green energy arena. They were interested in both controlling the Stirling heat engine and being able to log extensive amounts of data.

Automatic Parts Dipping Machine
Another interesting industial automation project was for CaPlugs. They are a plastic parts manufacturer. They asked Industrial Automation Solution to update the existing controls on their plastic parts automated parts dipping machine. We provided a PLC, HMI and Servo control over an Ethernet network.

Automated Fence Post Cutting Machine
Fences for Less purchased a machine from China that will be used to cut or scribe an aluminum fence post. The machine did not come with the controls from China and there was another integrator that specified the controls. After purchasing the controls, the integrator disappeared.

Mega Watt Solar Plant: 29 Palms, California
Solar World was looking to install a solar plant in the desert with single axis controls for over 200 solar panels. These panels would generate 20 Megawatts of energy and the power generated by the panels was sold back to SCE.

Pick and Place: Compton, California
Harvard Card was needing to build a packaging line to pick credit cards from a stacker and place them on to a conveyor. These cards were placed on top of each other with offsets to make a multi card package to be sold during the holidays.

Flying Camera: Universal Studios - Hollywood California
The studio needed to control a camera mounted to a rail running down the middle of an aircraft that looked similar to the space shuttle. They were requesting the position of the camera be manually controlled through a thumb wheel and also have the ability to set predefined camera positions.

Robotic Tool Tending/Parts Picking: Chatsworth, California
Ganesh Machinery is a builder of CNC Machines. They reserved a booth at the IMTS show and they wanted to show an articulated arm robot picking parts and tool tending one of their CNC machines. We programmed the robot to handle the tools and remove the parts

Filling Machine: Irvine, California
Maruchan is a noodle manufacturing company that produces a cup of noodle product and needed to retrofit an existing filler line with 22 axis of servo control. This filler line put a measured amount of powered spices into the cup of noodles.

Vision Guided Robot Control: Terra Bella, California
Setton Farms is a grower of Pistachios in California. They package their own product and they needed to automate the picking of premium pistachios from a conveyor using a vision guided robot with a vacuum end of arm tool.
