    What do you do to source automation companies?

    Thanks for the replies. I'm located in Eastern Kentucky. I've been looking at FabTech's site and ThomasNet. ThomasNet isn't too bad. If anyone has any input, the operations will be cutting to length some 20' pieces of channel, straightening the cut lengthes, cutting out an area for...
