CSG History
 The Control Systems Group was founded in 1995 as a control systems integration (CSI) house. The incorporation of design engineering - both electrical and mechanical disciplines -and project management into the CSG product family enabled the company to offer a more extensive vertical range of services to its customers.
The addition of paint finishing systems in 2003 to its established process control and factory automation offerings provided both horizontal growth and market diversification.
Since its inception, CSG has created over 60 integrated furnace control systems, used primarily in the heat treatment industry. Most of these systems also coordinated the material handling of the product, frequently within explosive or volatile atmospheres. Ranging from internal quench batch furnaces to multi-row pusher furnace lines, CSG systems include:
- Automated Batch Furnace Line-Fully automated, single-entry batch furnace line featuring 15 operations and an automated charge car. Includes operation selection, load scheduling, operation, and production reporting.
- Automated Pusher Furnace Line-Fully automated, single-entry pusher furnace line featuring prewash and load accumulation center, two single-row pusher furnaces, single row wash/draw line, and two automated charge cars. Includes operation selection, load scheduling, operation, and production reporting.
- Automated Drop-Bottom Furnace Line-Fully automated, single-entry drop-bottom furnace line featuring 8 operations and automated moving quench tank. Includes operation selection, load scheduling, operation, and production reporting.
The need for more user-friendly operator interfaces urged the creation of new graphical user software. BatchTrax™ and CaseMaster™ are the latest in an evolutionary process of improving operator understanding and control of heat treating operations.
