Engineered Systems
For nearly 50 years, Galco engineers have been providing world-class control engineering solutions through the integration of high-performance products.
Galco engineers continuously demonstrate an exceptional level of engineering expertise to a wide range of customers throughout the manufacturing and testing industries.
Galco engineers and technicians are renowned for their expertise with products from leading engineered systems brands such as:
- FANUC FA America CNCs
- ABB Drives
- Control Techniques
- Yaskawa
- Eaton Automation
We service a number of industries including automotive, aerospace, food and beverage, primary steel, Tier 1 and 2 suppliers, research dynamometer laboratories, and more with world-class applications expertise in:
- Machine Tool CNC Retrofitting
- Variable Speed Drive Systems
- Dynamometer Drive Systems
- Alternative Energy Applications
- Drives Integration
- Microprocessor & PC-based solutions
- PLC Retrofits
- Motion Control
- Test Stands
Machine availability, performance, and quality are the three measurable components that drive overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). CNC retrofits improve OEE and thus translate to maximizing the return on investment of vital and costly plant floor equipment and their performance to enhance productivity.
Retrofitting aging, unreliable, and feature-limited CNC systems reduces costs and downtime. Less time is spent on setup, programming, and maintenance resulting in increased uptime and output.
High-performing FANUC HViS servo systems generate higher feed rates and lower acceleration and deceleration times, thus improving mechanical and electrical capabilities for OEE.
Supported by our in-house UL Panel Shop, Galco’s engineering team works with you to design, program, build, install, startup, and support your project. This allows Galco to maintain complete control of all in-process manufacturing tasks to ensure quality, performance, and compatibility.
Our control panels include the following features as standard:
- Tagged wires
- Components labeled on subplate
- Seperated AC and DC wires
- Fused disconnects
- Completed electrical prints generated using AutoCAD
