About M5 Automation
Automation engineers in County Durham
M5 Automation Ltd designs and manufactures special purpose machines and production equipment from our workshop at Riverside Industrial Estate, Langley Park.
Who we are
We’re a team of engineers who design, program and build automation equipment: special purpose machines, assembly fixtures, electrical and leak test equipment, robot cells and conveyors.
Much of our work has been for automotive manufacturing. We’ve built cells and fixtures for seats, headliners, fuel tanks and air-conditioning components, as well as one-off machines such as a phosphate coating line and a developmental disinfectant spray booth.
Everything happens in house. Our own team does the mechanical design in Solid Edge, the electrical design in EPLAN, the Siemens PLC and HMI programming, and the CNC machining and 3D printing. That means one team is responsible for your machine from the first design to commissioning.
Why work with us
One point of contact
Design, controls and manufacture all sit with us, so there’s no passing problems between subcontractors.
Siemens specialists
Three in-house programmers with over 30 years’ combined Step 7 experience write and commission the software.
Fast turnaround
With CNC machining and 3D printing on site, parts can go from design to finished component quickly, sometimes in minutes.
