History

Initially founded in 1995, Northfield Automation Systems has grown into one of the country’s most knowledgeable firms specialized in automation of thin materials. Our core expertise is our understanding of what it takes to accurately control and manage thin material so that it can be precisely handled during unique, precise, and delicate processes.

The custom automation equipment we design typically requires a high degree of control in one or more of the following areas:

• Tension control – as little as zero tension if needed
• Precision guiding
• Thermal management – heating, cooling, and dissipation
• Optical inspection
• Visual closed-loop controls
• High control pressure and lamination processes , including multiple layer lamination
• Precision location in X-Y-Z positioning
• Speeds
• Atmospheric conditions – chemical conditions, vacuums, or class 10
• Continuous flow or intermittent stop/start advancement
