" "DIVA Automation develops and produces embedded microcontrollers for research and industry. Our products are designed to offer top-level performance with lifetime warranty at very competitive prices. We stand behind our products and support them wholeheartedly and indefinitely." "Manufacturers will find our willingness to customize our standard products to be unexcelled. We do not charge for development on customized products for orders as small as 50 pieces." "All of our products are designed in-house and are produced by ISO-certified contract assembly houses in the USA and Germany. We test everything 100% in our own test facilities prior to shipment." "Bring us your most challenging control problems. We specialize in reducing size, problems and cost while maintaining top performance with guaranteed reliability." DIVA Automation is a small business that has supplied reliable microcomputer based control products to industrial and research users in over 40 countries through private label sales to a select group of OEMs. We have retained the same group of customers for our entire existence of over 20 years. The reliability and quality of our products is unmatched. We are the only company in this field that offers a lifetime warranty and we have done this throughout our existence. We have several control products available for licensing to anyone who is interested in adding a proven product line to their existing control products or who has a production requirement for microcomputer based controls, such as an automation machinery manufacturer. Our products are also available as standard with very short lead times, compatible with normal production requirements. We are also searching for qualified sales representatives with a proven track record of sales in the controls industry and extensive contacts within the industry. Product data sheets and manuals are available to interested parties, as well as customer satisfaction reports. Applications of our controllers have included:      Extremely high resolution specimen positioning for an electron microscope      Individual yarn supply controls for a 1024-needle carpet manufacturing machine      Fiber optic splicing equipment      X-ray crystallography research      High speed magazine stacking machine      Extremely high power "Star Wars" laser alignment equipment      High accuracy, high speed screen printing machinery      Automated AIDs testing equipment      Large scale segmented telescope focusing      High accuracy tension controls for fiberglass fishing rod manufacture      Automated wrapping paper cutter These are some of the U.S. companies who have bought and used motion control and/or data acquisition products developed by Diva Automation founder and Chief Technology Officer, Howard Speegle. They are joined by similar installations in more than 40 countries, worldwide. Corporations Universities Research institutes Aerojet General AT&T Bell Labs Bendix Corp. Boeing Aircraft Co.
