Industries Served

Medical manufacturing demands accuracy, consistency, and full alignment with regulatory standards. We support this environment by producing custom systems designed to handle sensitive and often miniature components. Our automated machinery is used for assembling parts such as syringes, diagnostic test kits, catheters, IV components, and drug delivery devices.

Systems can include precision indexing tables, high-speed rotary assemblies, and vision inspection tools to verify each piece during assembly. These machines are built with the ability to maintain cleanroom compatibility, minimize contamination, and support FDA validation. With features such as touch-screen HMI controls and servo-driven actuation, operators can manage processes efficiently with repeatable performance across large production runs.

Medical clients benefit from systems that deliver high throughput without sacrificing the integrity of the product. Whether building single-use items or reusable medical devices, we support manufacturers with well-integrated automation systems that improve speed and reduce labor strain.

Manufacturers of electronic products rely heavily on automated systems for precision and volume. We support this sector with purpose-built equipment, including electronics assembly systems used in the production of switches, plugs, terminals, battery contacts, and similar small-scale components.

The machines are configured to handle components that require delicate movement and exact positioning. Vision-guided robots, pick-and-place modules, and custom feeders are often integrated to accommodate the specific needs of electronics assembly. These systems are capable of multi-step operations such as insertion, fastening, testing, and rejection—all within a single machine footprint.

Because many electronics are part of broader consumer products, assembly accuracy plays a direct role in product quality and brand perception. We build systems that help manufacturers meet the growing demand for compact devices with zero tolerance for defects. Machines can also include built-in testing systems for electrical conductivity, continuity, and sensor activation to detect failed parts early in the process.

Our expertise in electronics assembly allows us to serve customers with high expectations for quality and performance across every cycle.

Central Machines serves a wide range of industrial manufacturers, from automotive to hardware production. Our automation solutions support companies looking to increase production efficiency while minimizing human error and material waste.

Equipment options include indexing dial machines, walking beam transfer systems, and rotary assembly machines. These can be customized with multiple assembly stations, laser marking tools, leak testers, and part handling systems. Every element is made for durability and efficiency, helping industrial customers reduce cycle times and standardize production.

Industrial clients often seek systems that can manage heavy workloads and perform reliably across multiple shifts. Central Machines answers this need with rugged construction and user-friendly interfaces that simplify operation and maintenance. Repeatability, ease of part changeover, and reduced downtime are built into every machine configuration.

This sector often requires flexible machines that can accommodate part redesigns or expanded product lines. With modular options and upgrade pathways, we can provide solutions that align with current production requirements while allowing room for future adjustments.

Manufacturers of everyday consumer products rely on high-speed automation to maintain consistent quality and meet shipping schedules. Central Machines builds machinery for assembling components used in household items such as pump sprayers, bottle caps, aerosol valves, and cleaning device components.

Continuous-motion and rotary indexing systems are commonly used in this sector. These platforms support high-speed assembly and are built to minimize part jams and misfeeds. Cap closing machines, for instance, can reach speeds of up to 550 parts per minute, while closure lining machines can achieve rates up to 1200 parts per minute.

The equipment is designed for smooth part flow and easy maintenance. Whether manufacturers are producing for retail, industrial, or institutional use, we can provide systems that keep production lines moving while maintaining product integrity.

Packaging plays a major role in the food and beverage industry, where speed, hygiene, and accuracy are top priorities. We offer high-efficiency systems for cap assembly, liner insertion, tamper-evident seals, and closure verification.

Food and beverage packaging often involves a combination of materials—plastic, foil, and seals—which must be handled without introducing contamination or variation. We build automated systems that address these concerns through non-contact inspection, heat-sealing capabilities, and fail-safe ejection systems.

Production lines in this sector frequently operate around the clock, and fortunately, our machines are built with durable components and quick-clean features to support high-volume use. Whether used for bottled beverages, condiments, or food containers, these systems help manufacturers reduce manual labor and increase consistency in final packaging. Our lining machines options support clean, accurate liner application in closure systems for this market.

Central Machines develops machinery using in-house engineering, CNC machining, custom wiring, and electrical control programming. Every machine is fabricated, assembled, and tested under one roof in Lincolnshire, Illinois. This vertical structure gives us complete control over quality and production timelines.

All systems are tested under load with multi-stage run cycles to verify mechanical alignment, software operation, and part throughput. Dry run tests and vision system calibration are standard procedures prior to shipping. This process gives customers confidence in machine performance and consistency before final installation.

Our machines are designed to work with various part geometries and material types. They also feature adjustable stations, servo motors, vision systems, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that allow rapid adaptation to changing production needs. Whether customers need electronics assembly equipment or lining machines for packaging applications, we deliver systems ready to perform from day one.
