Special Purpose Machinery (SPM) solves problems that standard equipment cannot. Design & Build for Special Purpose Machinery (SPM) equips your engineering teams to turn that requirement into a custom automation cell, assembly station, robotic workcell, or complete production line, engineered specifically for your process, not adapted from someone else’s.
Design & Build for SPM brings together machine architecture, fixture tooling, mechatronic systems and robotic cells, the elements that turn a requirement into a buildable machine. Machine architecture defines the technical concept: station sequences, motion philosophy, tooling strategy and safety envelope. Fixture tooling, mechatronic systems and robotic cells translate that concept into a machine that is operable, serviceable and installable by design.
The result: a machine built right for your process from day one, that commissions reliably and stays serviceable across its lifecycle.
Embed safety from concept to operation.
Safety Engineering integrates hazard identification and risk reduction into the design from day one, not as an afterthought. We assess hazards, define safety functions and shape guarding, access and maintenance strategies so the machine protects operators while remaining serviceable and operable.
Our approach aligns functional safety, electrical safety and operating modes with applicable standards (ISO 12100, ISO 13849/IEC 62061, IEC 60204‑1, NFPA 79, UL 508A) and prepares CE technical‑file inputs for EU‑bound machines. The result is machines that meet certification expectations and deliver safer, more predictable production and maintenance outcomes.
Identify hazards and plan risk‑reduction measures across the machine.
Design fences, interlocks, doors, removable guards and maintenance access.
Specify E‑stop, guard locking, safe torque off, light curtains and scanners.
Define Performance Level or SIL requirements where applicable.
Specify automatic, manual, teach, maintenance, recovery and fault modes.
Prepare safety documentation and CE file inputs for EU compliance.
Align electrical design with IEC 60204‑1, NFPA 79 and UL 508A where relevant.
