01Services

Every discipline with one point of contact — from control code to service call.

PLC Programming

Robust control code for new plants and existing machines. Modular, well documented and maintainable — still readable in five years.

TwinCAT 3EtherCATMotionTwinSafe

CNC Technology

Post-processors, tool management and process optimisation. Precision and efficiency in manufacturing — from one-offs to serial production.

Post-processorsTool managementProcess optimisation

Robotics

Automated processes with industrial robots in special machines. Handling, joining, screwing and binding — including machine vision and gripper technology.

KUKAMachine visionGrippers

Retrofit

Modernise existing plants: new controls, new drives and up-to-date safety technology — keeping the proven mechanics. Economical and fast.

Hardware swapSafety upgradeHMI

Machine Service

Fast help and maintenance — including breakdowns. Remote diagnostics, spare parts sourcing and preventive maintenance. We keep your line running.

Selected projects — where software meets steel.

Picture-frame machine · illustration

4-side feed · mitre pressTwinCAT 3
Special machines · Picture-frame production

Feed four frame strips, press them on the mitre — in a single cycle.

The machine feeds four frame strips simultaneously via separate feed axes, aligns them on the mitre and presses them into the finished frame in one cycle. With automatic format adjustment over two servo axes, VFD-driven conveyors and guarded hoods on each axis.

Robotics · Metalwork / roof railings

Robot-assisted assembly of support profiles with end caps and screwing.

Two KUKA six-axis robots load, press and screw support profiles around a rotary table. With part recognition by vision system, safe human-machine separation via TwinSafe and automatic changeover between profile types.

Special machines · Tube & profile welding

Recipe-controlled welding cell for socket-and-pin joints.

Material buffer, torch guidance and the welding process run recipe-controlled to stored profiles. The welding torch is actively tracked during the process and compensates part tolerances automatically — tubes can be round or oval. Plus fast changeover between part types via recipe management, end-to-end axis and bus diagnostics and an integrated safety concept.

Machine vision · Concrete products

AI quality control for concrete blocks — every batch inspected in under two seconds.

A camera captures the complete batch on the pallet; our in-house ML system detects every single block and checks it for cracks, chipping and colour defects. The positions of defective blocks go straight to the Beckhoff controller via ADS — the robot swaps them automatically. New products can be retrained right at the machine, no ML expertise required.

03Approach

Four clear steps — no detours into production.

Analysis

Technical baseline

We review spec, mechanics, controls and documentation — or create it when missing. Result: realistic scope and a reliable schedule.

Concept

Controls & architecture

Hardware selection, functional spec and safety concept. A clean concept saves weeks on the shopfloor later.

Implementation

Software & integration

PLC, CNC and robotics code, HMI and vision. Modular, tested on the simulator and rig, fully documented.

Commissioning

On-site & acceptance

Build-up, calibration, tuning, training and acceptance. And afterwards reachable when it matters — remote, phone or in person.

06Company

An engineering shop, not a corporation — and that is exactly the advantage.

Automation and CNC Service GmbH is an owner-managed specialist for industrial automation based in Langenberg (East Westphalia, Germany). We program controls, integrate robots and modernise existing plants — vendor-independent, with 20 years of experience and a clear focus on Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 and KUKA robotics.

What matters to us: cleanly structured, documented code, honest schedules and a plant that is still maintainable in five years. From spec sheet to acceptance at the end customer you stay with one contact — and we are reachable when it counts in operation.
