Fabtech Automation is an industry leader in advanced automation and machinery, delivering cutting-edge solutions and processes for a wide range of businesses. Our expertise spans the entire automation journey, including design, manufacturing, commissioning and ongoing service, support and relocation.

Custom solutions for intelligent automation

Retrofits and upgrades

Extend the life, reliability, and performance of your industrial equipment with our automation retrofit services and control system upgrades. When essential control or drive components become obsolete, end-of-life, or difficult to source, we provide modern, cost-effective solutions that allow you to keep operating the machinery you trust.

Our team replaces ageing hardware with current automation technology, improving efficiency, reducing unexpected breakdowns, and strengthening the long-term value of your investment. We deliver upgrades with integrity, transparency, and minimal downtime, so your production can keep moving without disruption.

Custom solutions and process automation

Increase production output, improve product quality, and streamline workflow with tailored automation solutions designed specifically for your operation. We analyse your production processes, identify bottlenecks, and implement efficient custom automation systems that boost performance while reducing waste and manual workload.

With deep experience across diverse industries and international machinery, we deliver intelligent, reliable automation that supports your growth and ensures consistent, high-quality results. Our approach is grounded in accountability, problem-solving, and delivering real operational value to your business.

Safety integration

A strong safety culture starts with the right systems in place. We help organisations create safer working environments by integrating practical, compliant, and cost-effective industrial safety solutions into their equipment and processes.

From risk assessments to the installation of safety sensors, guards, interlocks, and emergency control systems, we ensure your machinery meets required standards and supports the wellbeing of your team. Our focus is on protecting people, enhancing reliability, and ensuring your operation meets both legal and industry best-practice obligations - without adding unnecessary complexity or cost.

Installation, repair and relocation

Installation

We provide complete mechanical and electrical installation services for CNC machines and industrial equipment, including both new and second-hand assets. Our team manages all aspects of installation, from precise machine positioning and levelling to integration with building services such as power, water, pneumatic lines, and extraction. Each installation is carried out to OEM requirements and industry standards to ensure accurate performance from day one.

Relocation

Whether relocating equipment within your facility, moving to a new site, or exporting machinery overseas, we manage the full machine relocation process. This includes decommissioning, disconnection of services, mechanical disassembly, secure packing, and transport coordination. All machines are handled with the highest level of care, ensuring safe, compliant, and damage-free relocation.

Breakdown and repair

Our technicians provide fast, accurate diagnostics and repair services for CNC machines and general industrial equipment. We address electrical, mechanical, control, and drive faults, using industry-standard tools and procedures to minimise downtime. We support a wide range of international brands and ensure all repairs are carried out with a focus on long-term reliability.

Calibration and optimisation

To maintain precision, repeatability, and product quality, CNC machinery requires periodic calibration and system adjustments. We perform axis checks, alignment corrections, backlash compensation, servo tuning, and parameter optimisation, ensuring your equipment performs to specification. These services help reduce scrap, extend machine life, and maintain consistent output quality.

Operator training

We deliver structured training for machine operators and maintenance personnel, covering best operating practices, safety procedures, basic maintenance, daily care, and correct machine handling. Our training ensures your team can maximise productivity, minimise errors, and extend the life of your equipment.
