Berkeley
has applied its technology to a wide range of industries with
a single core controller product. Berkeley's flexible control
platform allows machine builders with motion control requirements
to purchase a single standard controller to meet complex motion-and-machine
control requirements. Some OEM machine builders utilize disparate
control suppliers across their product line. This is costly
for a number of reasons:
- Multiple
suppliers
- Developing
knowledge across multiple products
- Lack
of leverage from advancements in application software on
one platform
- Support,
service, and spares
A machine
builder that is able to utilize one control platform across
its entire product machine line, can focus development on
a single platform and apply its application software development
advances across all machine products.
The Berkeley
control platform has been developed from over 15 years of
refinement and 70 million axes-hours of experience across
numerous industries. The result is a flexible product able
to meet simple motion control requirements, to entire complex
machine control applications.
Semiconductor
Berkeley's
innovative solutions design capabilities, and flexible automation
products, have been applied to tough challenges in semiconductor
fabrication equipment for more than a decade. Best-in-class
controls technology continues to propel reliability and productivity
improvement. Berkeley's patented Autocalibration® technology
eliminates subjective and time-consuming robot teaching for
improved tool reliability and reduced repair times.

Components Part of CTX Explosives Detection Systems Used in
Airline Luggage Screening
RICHMOND, Calif., August 20, 2002 - Berkeley Process Control,
Inc. (Berkeley) announced today that it has received substantial
new orders from Newark, CA-based InVision Technologies and
its subcontractors for machine control systems, and large
additional quantities of crucial components, for incorporation
into explosives detection systems utilized to screen airline
passenger luggage. Year-to-date Berkeley shipments and current
order backlog for InVision are more than $3.2 million. The
new orders increased prior year-to-date totals by nearly 40
percent. Additional orders are anticipated. “Our controller
is an integral part of InVision’s FAA-certified CTX 2500™
and CTX 5500DS™ explosives detection systems,” said
Berkeley President Paul Sagues - who noted that Berkeley has
supplied advanced machine control systems for incorporation
in InVision’s products since 1994.
Automated Welding
Berkeley's
flexible control products have been successfully applied to
diverse, and difficult, challenges in automated welding. The
application of best-in-class controls technology has enabled
greater welding productivity, improved welding process control,
enhanced equipment reliability, and simplified equipment maintenance.
Berkeley teams with welding experts to deliver innovative,
turnkey welding automation solutions.
Automated
Pipe Welding
Sections
of oil pipeline to be laid underwater must be welded together
flawlessly.
Comprehensive automation of the welding process provides
the opportunity to eliminate
subjectivity, improve welding process control, and dramatically
improve productivity.

Packaging and Converting
Berkeley's
flexible automation products have been successfully applied
to diverse, and difficult challenges in packaging and converting,
for more than 15 years. Best-in-class controls technology
has often enabled higher production speed, improved product
quality, increased production flexibility, enhanced machine
reliability, and simplified maintenance.
Optical Fiber Manufacturing
 Berkeley
Process Control began working in partnership with one of
the world's largest fiber manufacturers in 1988.
Berkeley
controls have been incorporated into all phases of fiber
manufacture—delivering dramatic increases in both throughput
and quality:
Fiber
winding solutions
Fiber take-up & transfering take-up solutions
Coloring lines
Draw tower controls solutions
Lathe controls solutions
 Virtually
all fiber produced in one of the world's largest fiber plants
was drawn on towers controlled by Berkeley, and proof tested
on a rewinder built by Berkeley.
Berkeley
has ended its exclusive arrangement with our initial customer.
Our products and capabilities are now offered to the general
market.
