Special Purpose Machines
From concept to start-up: the machine your line needs and no one else builds.
We design and build custom special purpose machines to solve the problem no off-the-shelf equipment can. We act as your in-house engineering team, from feasibility study to on-site commissioning. Over 20 years turning production challenges into reliable, ready-to-run equipment.
What we deliver
Complete mechanical, electrical and automation design, from concept to manufacturing-ready detailing
Dedicated assembly, test and inspection fixtures built around your process
Vibratory feeders and part orientation and feeding systems
Integrated manufacturing lines and cells, with custom structures and supports
Fabrication, integration, start-up and production support at your plant
How it works
Understand the challenge
We visit the process, capture requirements, constraints and takt time, and define a viable technical concept.
Design and engineering
We detail mechanics, electrics and automation with simulation and validation before the first plate is cut.
Build and integration
We fabricate, assemble and integrate the machine, with controlled factory acceptance testing (FAT).
Start-up and support
We commission at your plant (SAT), train your team and support ramp-up into production.
Results
- Equipment engineered for your process, instead of adapting operations to a generic product
- Engineering automation that cut design-to-manufacturing time from 15 days to 40 minutes
- Proven productivity gain: the same output delivered with a team of 2 instead of 7
- A single partner from concept to start-up, with end-to-end accountability
Use cases
FAQ
+ What is a special purpose machine?
It is equipment designed exclusively for your process, used when no catalog solution meets the technical or productivity requirement.
+ Does Axios handle both design and fabrication?
Yes. We deliver the full cycle, from concept and engineering to fabrication, integration and start-up at your plant.
+ Which industries do you serve?
We work in nuclear, mining, cement, pulp and paper, chemical, automotive and dental, among others.
+ How does a project start?
It starts by understanding your challenge: show us the problem and we define the most viable technical concept together.
