Custom Machines

When standard machines won’t handle the process or part variation

What can our custom machines offer you?

Bekkala Engineering builds durable machines for high-volume production, compact machines to free up valuable shop floor space, and specialized machines to produce custom parts. We also handle PLC Controls integration, robotics integration, and design and build custom automated machines. Whatever your unique manufacturing challenge is, we welcome the opportunity to provide you with a solution!

Industrial machinery with a Destaco-Camco Indexer, connected to an AC motor, in a workshop setting.

High Volume Production Machinery

Industrial and trustworthy. A cam driven Destaco-Camco indexer is worth every penny. We load this with 1000 lbs and have thousands of hours run time.

Durable, Long Lasting Machinery

Powder coated tooling looks great and prevents corrosion. Large blanchard ground plates for flatness and position.

Automated sheet extraction machine with a electrical panel, sensors, and a control panel, used for packaging products, with a Solidworks assembly drawing overlay showing its detailed schematic.

PLC Controls

This panel was designed with six Allen-Bradley Kinetix 5500 drives and one Festo CMMT-AS drive.

Machinery for Custom, Exact, Straight Parts

This part required input from Manufacturing, Mechanical, Electrical and Controls to generate. Our machinery is custom designed for your products.

Custom Built Machinery

  • Close-up of a machine machine base with chamfered edges in a workshop with tools and equipment in the background.

    Machine Bases

    We make custom machine bases for applications ranging from measurement stations to assembly machine bases. We will make it strong, flat and with the holes in the right places.  Steel and aluminum are great choices and last a long time. There are lots of options to prevent corrosion - which also look great.

  • Precision assembly of an industrial machine with linear rail, carriages, caliper, situated on a workbench in a workshop.

    Linear Guide Rail

    This linear motion combination was engineered by BE for longevity and servo control via twin linear guide rails and bearings as an integral part of industrial equipment. Weldments are a common design element.

  • Solidworks CAD-model of a flow thru robot processing cell with metal frame and auto open / close doors

    Dual In-line Robot Cell

    BE developed an in-line robot processing cell consisting of dual inverted ABB robots as part of a manufacturing line. See more of our robotics projects.

  • A hydraulic pump placed on engineering diagrams and technical drawings on a worktable.

    Hydraulic Power

    This Nachi pump was integrated into a Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) to reduce heat generation, improve response time and create a low maintenance system.

  • A wheeled industrial machine with yellow safety panels and control buttons on the side, set against a gray wall.

    Tube Machine

    Small foot-print, automatic, multiple length tube cutting and notching machine. Plug into 110v at point-of-use. Load raw material into the top window and walk away. Completed parts collected in the bin below.

Our Process For Custom Equipment Manufacturing:

We will work closely with you to build a custom machine or system that fits your needs. From concept and brainstorming to installation and support, we are with you every step of the way. We have a straightforward process and communicate with you throughout the project.

Our project deliverables include part, assembly, and electrical drawings, manuals, parts lists, equipment, tooling and fixtures.

  • Work with sales and engineers to Brainstorm ideas, Select a Concept, and Generate a proposal based on the concept, budget and timeline.  Lastly, determine what support program is needed.

  • Develop the concept with initial testing, machine design, fabricate and assemble, and integration and controls

  • Debug and testing, internal test runs, Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)

  • Ship, install and perform Site Acceptance Test (SAT)

  • Implement support program
