"The world has settled on only one way of seeing CNC. We see the infinite other ways."

 

We Write Software That Builds Things

 

Our Capabilities

We look forward to hearing from you when you are interested in any of the following activities.

  • PLC Programming on New Projects, including Structured Text, Sequential Function Charts, Ladder Logic Diagrams, Function Block Diagrams, and in a pinch, Instruction List.

  • Third-Party Integration. We may be able to help you integrate that additional system with the least amount of effort.

  • Update and Testing of Existing Control Systems. If you already have industrial control systems implemented, we can help you to maintain, upgrade, or prepare real-time tests for them.

  • HMI Application Development. If your control systems are already working fine but could benefit from cleaner, more informative user interactions and status updates, then let's chat.

  • Troubleshooting control configurations to the electronic component level.



Though we are currently most familiar with Beckhoff devices and their associated TwinCAT 3 development software, we are always willing to work with your brands as well.

Robotic Integration

From boosting throughput to increasing precision and consistency, robotic automation is revolutionizing how businesses operate. At PowerMake Systems, we specialize in robotic integration tailored to your specific processes and goals.

Whether you need a solution for material handling, pick and place, palletizing, or more advanced applications like cooperative and collaborative robotics, we're equipped to deliver efficient, reliable solutions that enhance productivity and safety. We also handle inverse kinematics for complex motion planning, enabling your robots to perform sophisticated, human-like movements where precision is paramount.

Also, while we're not yet offering fully robotic welding solutions, we're actively expanding our capabilities in that space and can soon advise you on what's required to get started, including equipment, safety, and integration best practices.

Whether you're automating a single task or building out a complete robotic cell, we work closely with you to ensure seamless deployment and long-term support.



You might wonder how you ever worked without robotics.

 

Custom Machine Control Services

We help you get more from your existing CNC systems.

Whether it's capturing and analyzing workflow and timing, building custom interfaces, or developing software and hardware to run your current equipment more efficiently, our goal is to empower your staff and tools to get more done with less effort and expense.



It's easy to get started with planning and implementing your next level of enhanced machine control.

Upgrade and Retrofit

Breathe new life into your aging equipment. We modernize old machines with the latest control systems, communications capabilities, and safety features, extending their value and performance.



PowerMake Systems is here to fortify your machine capabilities.

 

Actuation, Sensing, and Embedded Control Systems

Are you hesitant about vendor lock-in? We can design and integrate custom motion and sensing solutions with active embedded electronic control systems to meet demanding production needs using state-of-the-art event-driven techniques, drawing from a wide array of non-proprietary programming languages and libraries.



Optimize your production. Let's build your custom control system today.
