Controlink Systems LLC has delivered engineering consulting expertise to manufacturing facilities across the United States since 1998. From CNC/DNC communications and shop-floor automation to vibration analysis and process monitoring, we build intelligent Controlinks that reduce downtime, eliminate scrap, and keep your machines running at peak efficiency.
Comprehensive engineering solutions spanning CNC/DNC software, shop-floor automation, process monitoring, and custom system integration.
Products-based engineering services covering machining, shop-floor automation, vibration analysis, and product testing. We interface with PLC hardware, motion controllers, SQL databases, and industrial communication protocols including CAN, Modbus, Profinet, and EtherCAT.
Complete CNC/DNC file transfer and management solutions enabling reliable upload, download, editing, and remote serving of CNC programs to every machine tool in your shop via RS-232 and wireless connections.
Automated software solutions that allow machinists to remotely request and receive CNC files without leaving their machines, boosting productivity, reducing scrap, and improving machine-tool utilization.
Real-time data collection combining time and frequency domain analysis for vibration monitoring, process control, and modal testing using NI hardware and iMonitor software across manufacturing and test environments.
Development of user-friendly HMI interfaces and customized software modules that reduce operator training costs, improve workflow efficiency, and integrate seamlessly with existing industrial control systems.
Design and deployment of end-of-line (EOL) test systems with relational database integration, signal conditioning, multi-axis motion control, and non-contact gauging for part identification and measurement.
Controlink Systems LLC was founded by engineers who understand machining from the inside out. We specialize in linking systems together—building Controlinks—that connect CNC machines, databases, PLCs, and motion controllers into cohesive, reliable workflows. Trusted by industry leaders like 3M, Kodak, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and The Timken Company, our solutions run continuously in critical manufacturing environments across the United States, reducing downtime and maximizing output.

We combine deep machining expertise with cutting-edge software engineering to deliver solutions that actually work on your shop floor.
Since 1998, we've solved complex manufacturing challenges for facilities across the United States, from small machine shops to national laboratories.
A proud member of the NI Partner Network since 2000, delivering certified NI software and hardware solutions for test, measurement, and process control.
We interface with virtually any industrial equipment using CAN, Modbus, Profinet, EtherCAT, Serial, and UDS—no matter what machinery your facility runs.
Every solution we build features intuitive HMI interfaces that reduce training costs and empower operators to stay focused on making parts, not navigating software.
A team of engineers passionate about solving real manufacturing problems.
Founded in 1998 in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, Controlink Systems LLC has spent over 25 years developing engineering software solutions for manufacturing environments across the United States. What started as a focused effort in CNC/DNC communications has grown into a comprehensive engineering consultancy serving machine shops, automotive facilities, aerospace manufacturers, and research laboratories such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory. We became members of the NI Partner Network in 2000—a milestone recognized when The Timken Company published an article highlighting our innovative DNC software. Our mission is simple: we love what we do, and we have a passion for solving your problems. Every solution we create is built with the everyday shop user in mind, ensuring reliability, usability, and long-term value for U.S. manufacturers.
A manufacturing consultant analyzes a facility's processes, equipment, and workflows to identify inefficiencies and implement targeted improvements. This can include optimizing CNC machine communications, automating shop-floor data exchange, integrating monitoring systems, reducing scrap and downtime, and developing custom software interfaces that align engineering oversight with production operations.
