CS Automation Ltd

CS Automation designs, develops and manufactures special purpose machines and automated systems to meet the needs of a variety of industries, from stand-alone machines to complete production lines. Automotive, Aerospace, Electronic, Medical, Semiconductor, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics and High-Tech are just some of the industries for which we provide solutions.

Whatever your application, contact us to discuss your specific requirements.

We can provide solutions such as:-
Assembly automation
Handling machinery
Automated testing
Inspection machines
RFID reader/writers
Pallet systems
Pick and place

The majority of design work is implemented using 3D CAD modelling. Following design approval, CS Automation will begin build and test culminating with FAT and SAT.

CS Automation is experienced in laser integration and have supplied solutions for laser marking, welding and cutting applications.

CS Automation work closely with various laser suppliers to ensure the most appropriate laser is selected for each project. Depending on the application, we can provide manual, semi-automated or fully automated custom built handling solutions and we have experience with different laser types such as Nd:YAG diode, lamp pumped, and CO2 lasers.

Our special purpose laser solutions can take the form of a stand-alone workstation or be part of a process where additional operations are carried out on the product such as in bespoke assembly or test and inspection systems. Whatever the case, the laser enclosure is designed to comply with all current legislation and is fully interlocked to ensure safe operation.

If flexibility is the key requirement for your handling system then a robotic solution may be the answer. For certain applications robots can be quicker, more accurate and more productive than an operator and also have the flexibility to be able to handle different products. Where product lifetimes are short the robot can be re-used for a different application at the end of the production run.

CS Automation can design a robotic handling solution from scratch whether it uses a 6-Axis, Scara or Parallel Arm system, or is a 1- or 2-axis pick-and-place. We will provide a completely integrated solution including programming, endefector tooling and guarding.

The benefits include:-
Standard equipment - Low project planning risk.
Outstanding availability.
Can be used in a three-shift operation.
Long service life - more than 10 years.
Virtually maintenance-free and wear-free.
Low running costs.

CS Automation can integrate robots into your current or future manufacturing needs.

CS Automation has extensive expertise in industrial machine vision integration. We have provided complete turnkey solutions as part of many of our Automation Systems.

Machine Vision Systems can be used for many applications depending on the process being carried out. We select the most appropriate vision components for each project to ensure the best possible solution.

We can provide solutions for applications such as:-

Part presence detection and identification

Product quality inspection

Robotic pick and place

Micron level fiducial adjustment

Barcodes and 2D Datamatrix reading and verification

OCV/OCR validation and compliance.

CS Automation can achieve high speed high accuracy positional control by selecting the most appropriate motion control and suitable actuators, thereby optimising machine cycle times.

Precise motion control is needed in many automated systems. Whether the application calls for a single axis stepper drive or a multi axis servo controller we can provide the solution. At CS Automation we have the experience and skills to design and develop reliable and cost-effective control systems for our customer’s requirements.

For ease of setting up graphical pages on the HMI can allow the operator to jog to required positions and “teach” the machine. Alternatively precise positions may be entered in engineering units, in some cases down to micron level.

All CS Automation’s machines are fully risk assessed to the latest standards and relevant safety guarding and interlocks are fitted.
