The series of panels for this project
will be controls for a hoist that handles parts in a large metal
treatment and anodizing
system. There are three each of a PC console, operator control
panel, VFD and motor control panel, and a remote control console.
PLC's and PC's are combined with remote I/O on this job to form a
diverse system of controls. The project is just beginning but keep
checking for updates as it progresses.

The computer consoles and other enclosures are received
and unpacked. |

The first step to a successful project is a comprehensive
inventory. Danielle handles purchasing and inventory
management. Here she is going over the parts supply for this job. |

Also very important elements are a good design
and quality prints. Brian, our full time CAD engineer maintains
prints to our high standards. In this photo Jim, the panel shop
foreman, reviews the design during initial project assembly.

Back-panels are laid out with meticulous detail and
skill. Templates of the layouts are made and applied across multiple
assemblies to ensure consistent production. Here Matt drills and
taps the layout on a back-panel for one of the PC console enclosures. |

Enclosures are cutout and fitted with air conditioning units. Holes
are also drilled or punched for buttons, knobs, and other operator
controls. Matt is such a hard worker. :-) And there's Rick
working hard too.
