Optical Fiber Machines
Berkeley Process Control produces products used in the design and manufacturing of optical fiber. The manufacturing of optical fiber requires a high degree of precision and sophisticated control. Manufacturers have traditionally used costly techniques resulting in low production yields and inconsistent quality.

Nuclear Canister Welders
More than fifty-five years from the genesis of the nuclear age, the world's energy producers and governments are still grappling with the storage of spent nuclear fuel. Today's solutions require that spent fuel cells, which are still very much active in terms of heat and radiation emissions, be sealed in stainless steel canisters for storage. To minimize the chance of leakage these canisters are sealed via a welding process that requires both an inner and outer lid be welded to the canister. Because the industry has strict limits with regard to the amount of exposure to radiation that workers may receive, it is necessary to minimize the amount of time that workers spend sealing the canisters. On the other hand, sufficient care must be taken to ensure that the canisters are adequately sealed. These conflicting requirements make traditional pipe welding unsuitable for this process.

Overview

Berkeley Process Control specializes in high-performance motion-and-machine control. Through our 20-plus year history, we have developed and delivered some of the world's most advanced motion-and-machine control products. We deliver motion-and-machine control solutions that enable manufacturers of high-precision products to increase productivity, shorten time-to-market, lower costs and improve product quality and reliability. It is our desire to bring to you, the most advanced, highest performance controls components, designed to meet your exacting requirements.

Designed on an open and flexible architecture, our controller products integrate motion-and-machine control systems with input and output control, sequence control, operator interface, and network connectivity to provide complete motion-and-machine control to our customers.

To assist you with reducing time-to-market, we embed our motion-and-machine controllers with extensive software, compatible with a wide variety of high-precision machines. By using compatible software that is integrated with our controller, our customers need to write and debug substantially fewer lines of software allowing them to deliver their products to market more rapidly. Our motion control products, including input and output modules and operator interface, connect to our controllers through simple and unambiguous cabling and can be quickly installed on a plug-and-play basis.

Keeping pace with the latest in technology, our controller products capitalize on the Ethernet standard, a commonly used high speed networking technology, to provide easy connection between widely accepted personal computers and Internet-based technologies. The connectivity of our controller products enables real time remote diagnostics — the remote monitoring, trouble shooting and data logging of an entire machine over an enterprise intranet or via the web.

In addition to providing a full complement of motion-and-machine controls components, Berkeley also leverages its years of experience to deliver complete machines to the optical fiber manufacturing and nuclear canister welding industries. These complete machines incorporate the many advantages of Berkeley's control products and experience. Along with the very best in design and components, Berkeley can offer support that is unparalleled in the industry due to the fact that our own controls components and software are used.
