"Finishing room productivity begins with AEC"
Greer, SC machine builder and robotic system integrator delivering custom finishing-room material handling for tube, pipe, bar and profile manufacturing.
Automation Engineering Co. LLC (AEC) is a US-based machine builder and robotic system integrator providing custom industrial automation equipment to manufacturers worldwide. Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Greer, South Carolina, AEC has more than 30 years of experience designing, manufacturing, installing and supporting complete automated systems, with a specialty focus on the handling of tube, pipe, bar and profiles in finishing-room operations. The company tailor-makes each system to the customer's specific requirements and offers a broad range of material-handling and process products, including transfer systems, threading tables, conveyor systems, turning rollers, process tables, gravity skids and shaker bars.
AEC's solution set spans robotic system integration, custom machine design and build, robotic additive and subtractive solutions, tube-and-bar machine load and unload systems, turnkey CNC manufacturing solutions, and coolant and chip management. The company designs its machinery to reduce equipment maintenance cost, optimize energy efficiency, improve operator safety and minimize operational noise. While AEC has worked with the largest steel producers serving the oil and gas industries, its automation expertise extends well beyond tubular products into automotive, mining and metals, textiles and composites, aerospace, and tire and rubber industries. AEC differentiates itself through controlled-speed, efficient material handling and engineering support the company describes as unmatched in its industry, having produced award-winning industrial automation machinery for leading global manufacturers.
