Bent River Machine has a team of engineers that assist in designing each custom project that we take on. Once a project has been proposed and the concept has been designed, every detail is layed out, from the dimensions of the individual pieces to flow of the equipment within the entire manufacturing line. Then, we assign specific tasks to different members of our team and work closely with our customers and vendors to ensure that information is shared and delays are minimized.

Mechanical Engineering
Typically, all design projects for manufacturing and factory automation involve a mechanical engineer. Mechanical engineers help design the machine’s hardware, as well as complete different analyses to ensure the design will function as intended.
Control Engineering
Controls engineers plan and program the motion of the machine. Our engineers are experienced in many different PLC architectures and will provide the unique characteristics of your automation.
Electrical Engineering
One of our electrical engineers will create a diagram showing the machine’s electrical flow and controls. Over the years, we’ve devised our own system where blocks of power distribution, safety circuits, and control logic are laid out in a way that reduces the time of the design phase of the project.
