Galil partners with customers to help them solve their most challenging motion control applications. If you cannot find exactly what you need in a standard Galil controller, we can customize one to meet your specific application requirements, including cost and performance. Let Galil show you how convenient and cost-effective our custom solutions can be.
For example, hardware specials such as modified board size, custom connectors, different communication, or additional I/O are typically completed within a 12-week period with engineering charges as low as $5000. Firmware specials can be written for an unlimited number of requirements and are typically complete in 2 weeks with engineering charges as low as $400.
Common Customizations
