Manufacturing plants measure spare parts in minutes of downtime. A failed PLC card, servo drive or HMI can stop a line that feeds the rest of the plant, and when the part is discontinued the factory can't help. OEMs and system integrators face the same problem from the other side: supporting machines in the field, building panels to a schedule, and finding legacy parts for retrofits. We serve all three with photographed parts in stock and a sourcing team that quotes whole lists.
What manufacturers, OEMs and integrators buy from us
PLCs and automation
PLC processors, I/O modules, communication and network modules, racks and power supplies and robot controllers, from makers such as Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi and Omron. Our guide to reading Allen-Bradley catalog numbers explains series and firmware.
Drives and motion
AC drives, DC drives, servo drives, servo motors and encoders and motion controllers. See VFD basics for sizing and replacement.
Operator interfaces
HMIs and touch screens, operator panels, pushbuttons and selector switches.
Motor control and panel parts
Contactors, starters, overload relays, relays, terminal blocks, power supplies and DIN-rail breakers for panel builds and repairs.
Machine controls
CNC and machine control boards, sensors and safety relays and interlocks.
For OEMs and integrators
We are reseller and broker friendly. Send a bill of materials, RFQ or ISO list and get one official written quote with the condition of every line stated. Same-part multiples are common in our stock, and legacy platforms for machines already in the field are everyday business.
Safety first: control panel and machine work should be done only by qualified personnel following lockout/tagout and the machine builder's instructions.
Upgrades, closures and surplus
When a line is upgraded or a plant closes, the controls, drives and spares left behind still have value to someone running the same equipment. We buy surplus automation and electrical parts and handle plant cleanouts nationwide, so your storeroom helps another plant stay running.
When the part is discontinued
Record the full catalog number, series and firmware from the failed unit's label and send it to us. Our guide to sourcing obsolete automation parts covers how to shorten the search – and how to make the next failure a non-event.
