A-Tec Systems has successfully managed a diverse range of contracts involving many different types of machine, from standard lathes and machining centres to very specialised one-off cutting machines. Each project varies in complexity from servo and CNC control retrofits to bespoke turnkey machines designed from the ground up. In each case the control system, servo drives, and interface software were specifically designed to meet the customer's own needs.

A-Tec Systems Ltd always provide the customer with full project documentation. We are a ISO9001:2000 accredited company and stringent controls are applied to all project documentation.
