Design and build

Custom control panels

We design industrial control panels from your application. We also build from your schematics, bill of materials, and documentation. Heat, environment, and size are part of the engineering.

Design, build-to-print, and production

We design a panel from the application. We also build from your drawings. We support one-off jobs and serial production.

Custom design and build

We start with the application. Then we prepare schematics, layouts, and heat calculations for the environment of the panel.

Build-to-print

Send approved schematics, a bill of materials, and documentation. We build to your drawings. We use the same inspection process as a design-build job.

Hazardous locations

We build panels for classified areas. This includes purge systems and intrinsically safe apparatus when the application needs them.

Specified components

We install Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, and LSIS Electric hardware. We select components for the job. We do not substitute unapproved parts.

One-off and serial production

We apply the same inspection process to a one-off panel and to a production run.

Enclosure milling

We mill cutouts and modify enclosures so the enclosure matches the layout.

From evaluation to a tested panel

We keep communication clear through design, build, and inspection. The panel that ships is the panel you approved.

  1. Design evaluation

    We review the application, environment, and requirements before we lock the layout.

  2. Engineering and schematics

    We prepare schematics, layouts, and documentation for your approval.

  3. Panel construction

    We account for heat, size, and environment during the build.

  4. Inspection and testing

    We inspect each panel against the approved requirements before it leaves the shop.

UL 1203

Explosion-proof panels

When the area is classified, the panel must match the area. We build explosion-proof and dust-ignition-proof control panels to UL 1203. We also build hazardous-location panels to UL 698A.

  • Explosion-proof and dust-ignition-proof construction to UL 1203
  • Hazardous-location panels to UL 698A
  • Purge and intrinsically safe designs when the requirements call for them

Panel shop listings and quality system

We build industrial control panels as a UL 508A panel shop. We also build to UL 698A and UL 1203 when the application needs hazardous-location construction. Our quality system is ISO 9001:2015.

Frequently asked questions

Design-build, listings, production, and what to send for a quote.

Can you design the panel, or only build to our drawings?

We design and build custom panels from your application. We also build from customer-supplied schematics, bills of materials, and documentation.

Which listings do you build to?

We build industrial control panels as a UL 508A panel shop. We build hazardous-location panels to UL 698A. We build explosion-proof and dust-ignition-proof equipment to UL 1203.

What should we send for a quote?

Send the application, environment, and any available schematics, layout drawings, or a bill of materials. If you are still defining the job, a description of the process, voltage, and enclosure requirements is enough to start.

Do you handle OEM and serial production?

Yes. We support OEM panels, build-to-print jobs, and serial production. Repeating units use the same approved layout, inspection, and labeling on every panel.

Which component brands do you install?

We install Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, and LSIS Electric. We install the hardware that your requirements call for.

Do you modify enclosures as part of the panel build?

Yes. We mill enclosure cutouts as part of the panel build so the enclosure matches the layout. We can also quote cutouts, tapping, and engraving as a standalone enclosure modification.

Request a quote for a custom panel

Send the application, drawings, or a bill of materials. We will review the requirements and quote the build.
