Custom Automation Equipment 

Bekkala Engineering builds custom automation systems and assembly equipment to improve our customers’ manufacturing processes. We work closely with you to design and build automated systems that meet your application needs. Looking to improve output? Looking to reduce manufacturing costs? These are benefits to using automation in your facilities. We can update and replace old equipment, integrate existing machines, as well as build new automation systems to meet the demands of today’s manufacturing.

Custom Automation Systems For Multiple Industries

We design automated systems and equipment for numerous processes including straightening, milling, and assembly that are unique to each industry.

These systems fit seamlessly into your existing manufacturing workflow, helping to meet your goals. We understand the process to determine your ROI when investing in custom automation equipment.  With automated assembly equipment, companies can: 

  • remove production bottlenecks and increase productivity, 

  • reduce manual parts handling and improve standardization,

  •  improve quality control and product accuracy, 

  • and increase throughput and cost savings.  

We have completed projects and improved the bottom line for lawn mower blade manufacturing, automotive and construction equipment, medical automation, oil and gas, and more.

Our Process

We will work closely with you to build a custom automated machine or system that fits your process. From concept and brainstorming to installation and support, we are with you every step of the way. We have a straightforward process with open communication throughout the project.

Our project deliverables include part, assembly, and electrical drawings, manuals, parts lists, equipment, tooling and fixtures.

  • Work with sale and engineers, concept and brainstorming, design a solution, and generate a proposal based on budget, timeline, and support program needed.

  • Develop the design concept with initial testing, fabricate and assemble, and integration and controls.

  • Debug and testing, internal test runs, Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), and shipping.

  • Install and perform Site Acceptance Test (SAT).

  • Implement support program.

Custom Automation Projects

  • Assembly Automation

    BE designed and implemented a custom semi-automated machine to do the work of a manual assembly process to free-up valuable floor space, reduce noise and assemble different part numbers. Combining automated assembly with raw material bins and tooling created a compact machine with right sized hydraulics that produced product with minimal physical effort and floor space.

  • Dual In-line Robot Cell

    BE developed an in-line robotics processing cell consisting of dual inverted ABB robots as part of a manufacturing line.

  • Tube Machine

    We designed a small foot-print, automated, multiple length tube cutting and notching machine.  Our customer can load raw material into the top window load and walk away. The completed parts are collected in a bin below.

  • Medical Automation

    BE designed a custom automation system to remove manual parts handling in a medical parts handling operation.
