Since the 1980’s, privately owned EAM has designed and manufactured custom automation for various industries both nationally and internationally. Initially servicing the molded plastics and compact disc industries, our portfolio has expanded into many other industries including those requiring highly innovative high speed label application.
Familiarity with all of the standard methods of motion control from pneumatics to mechanical and servo drives, to full robotics, allows us to offer systems best suited to the customer’s needs and budget.
Located in Scarborough, Maine, close to the Northeast population centers, we also have representation based in Ireland, China, and Australia. EAM is fortunate to employ a very stable work force providing continuity of design and experience. Our customers spend time with our core group of employees, from the proposal stages through to engineering and on to assembly and installation. This process instills confidence in our peoples’ abilities and personal drive to do the job well. During their years with us, our employees have learned, and do, in fact, practice real customer service.
Custom Automation
EAM has continued to provide custom automation solutions to a variety of industries from automotive and microelectronics assembly to precision medical processing. These specialized applications expose the EAM Engineering Staff to the nuances of unique markets and add to our extensive design cell library. This custom business is an important component of EAM's strategy to remain well versed with emerging technologies.
Through continued, well managed growth in 1995, EAM has now relocated to a 15,000 ftª company owned facility in Scarborough, ME. In addition, we provide sufficient work for local vendors to employ an estimated 20 skilled craftsmen who manufacture our frames, wiring sub-assemblies, and machine the majority of our parts. We are proud to be a contributing partner in the economic development of our state.
Product Lines
EAM assembled a business plan to design and manufacture an innovative assembly machine for CD jewel cases. We recognized that the systems then available were large, expensive, overly complicated, and unreliable. Within a year, EAM had the first pneumatically operated, PLC controlled, CD Packaging Machine operating in Texas. Due to the obvious advantages of the EAM design, additional orders soon followed ultimately resulting in the sale of over 150 EAM CD Packaging Machines and related equipment throughout the world.
Today EAM offers a standard line of equipment for the CD industry including, advanced versions of the original CD Packaging Machine design that are compatible with all popular CD Jewel Box formats, and the EAM CD Sleever/Inspection Machine to insert optical discs into mailing sleeves or pouches. Also as part of our "standard" product line EAM offers high speed stackers, high speed unstackers, carton loading machines, and buffering/conveying systems, all designed to reduce reliance on direct labor and improve product consistency.
EAM Mission Statement
EAM has and will design and manufacture quality products that are simple in design, easy to maintain, provide maximum utility and, are offered to our customers at a fair price. We will achieve this goal by employing energetic, dedicated, individuals who are committed to exceeding our customer's expectations.
