Controls Engineering       

SWE Engineering has extensive experience designing Machine Control systems for the thermofoming, extrusion, and packaging industries. Our expertise includes designing HMI, SCADA, and data aquisition systems and integrating servo functions for independent or coordinated motion control. Our custom applications make it easy for your business to quickly and efficiently build the control interfaces for your machines without having to "re-invent the wheel". Our custom machine interface wizards make it simple to define the controls screens so that they are consistent and error free. These HMI solutions are very highly customized to implement complex special purpose functions of your machines which would be difficult to program into standard off the shelf solutions like Wonderware and Intellution, with all the flexibility of Visual Basic. One of the biggest advantages of this software is that it allows you to create the user interface screens and control functions for your machine with no run-time licenses, and with the small one time cost of a Visual Basic compiler.

SWE Engineering has developed Control Upgrades to replace the faulty or outdated control systems on existing machines. Modern control technology can be used to make older designs more productive. Mechanical motions on existing machines can be improved with modern servo systems to increase speed and accuracy while providing more flexibility. Computer controls can remember settings, which will increase productivity by reducing machine setup time.

Thermoformer Controls Upgrades
Our many years of experience designing the control systems for Thermoformers at Sencorp Systems, Inc. and Armac Industries makes us the obvious choice for owners of those machines to consider talking to us when its time to repair or upgrade those machines. The extremely rapid developments in control technology over the past few years have made it possible for older machines to be greatly improved with Replacement Control Systems, while keeping the existing "Iron" in place. Our Thermoformer Controls Upgrades will turn your old machine into a more efficient, and easy to use machine for a fraction of the cost of a new machine.

CNC machine Upgrades
With our emphasis on controls technology, servo systems and manufacturing, SWE Engineering has all the tools to turn your old N/C or manual machining center into a full blown CNC machine.

We have developed many programs and addin functions in assembler. Our experience in assembler programming includes Intel 8080, 80x86, Zilog Z8, and MicroChip PIC processors. These assembler routines and programs execute very quickly, and provide features not available in higher level programming languages.

We have been involved in al sorts of engineering projects, from big to small. There are some excellent resources on our Electrical Engineering page.
