Industrial control panel design & build
Control panels for new machinery, machine modifications and control system upgrades. From wiring and component layout to testing and documentation, each project is scoped around the machine and its electrical requirements.
Cambridgeshire & surrounding counties for agreed site work; UK-wide remote engineering support where practical. Every project is reviewed for scope, access, safety and availability before acceptance.
Types of industrial panels
Discuss a standalone panel, replacement cabinet or modification to an existing installation.
PLC and remote I/O control panels
PLC-based machine control, I/O, power supplies, terminals, protection and clear wiring identification for maintenance.
Conveyor and motor control panels
Machine and conveyor control projects incorporating motor starters, variable speed drives, sensors and operator controls.
Retrofits and panel modifications
Replacing obsolete PLCs, HMIs or drives, adding I/O and updating circuits and drawings where the existing installation is suitable.
From specification to handover
The exact design and testing documentation depends on the application, assembly classification and agreed project scope.
Requirements and electrical design
Machine function, available supply, load schedules, protection, enclosure, safety interfaces and documentation requirements reviewed up front.
Assembly and functional testing
Panel construction, identification, continuity and relevant electrical checks, with functional testing and FAT arrangements agreed in advance.
Drawings, installation and commissioning
Schematics, wiring changes, software integration and the handover package defined in the quotation, with installation or commissioning by agreement.
Standards and conformity requirements are assessed for each project. No blanket certification or compliance claim is made without a verified design, applicable testing and documentation. For software integration, see PLC programming and HMI development.
Common questions
Can you build to existing electrical drawings?
Yes, a build-to-drawing enquiry can be reviewed. Supply drawings, panel dimensions, component list, required test evidence and delivery details.
Can you refurbish or rewire an existing panel?
Potentially. We first review the machine, the condition of the existing assembly, safety implications and whether replacement is a better option.
What information is needed for a quote?
A brief sequence of operation, supply details, motors/loads, I/O list, any existing schematic, enclosure constraints and proposed PLC/HMI platform.
Need engineering support?
Send the machine type, PLC or HMI model, project scope and any drawings or fault information. We'll review the requirements before agreeing work.
