Sensing Systems for Manufacturing

Our Story

Promess was formed as a Michigan Corporation in 1984 to provide the manufacturing industry with in-process monitoring systems. Specializing in force and torque monitoring applications Promess quickly developed a worldwide reputation for supplying state-of-the-art, turnkey sensing and test systems.

In 1989 Promess entered the motion control arena developing a fully electric, ball screw assembly press with built in force monitoring. This was a first step in using process data measured in real time to close the loop on motion control.

Today

Additional developments followed in both the pressing and torque testing areas. While still specializing in force and torque measuring systems Promess continued to develop systems that utilize various sensors including; pressure, flow, laser and temperature transducers to measure and react to process variables, adjusting the process in real time to produce good parts each and every cycle .

Today Promess is known as the manufacturer of complete turnkey monitoring and motion systems used in a wide variety of Assembly and Test applications around the world. Promess delivers the complete system including the mechanics, control electronics, all the sensors, amplifiers and software. Promess also provides pre-project application engineering assistance, installation support and training services.

Our Mission

We provide our customers with innovative sensing and motion control solutions, taking full responsibility for the complete system, with the ultimate goal of reducing risk of our customers, saving both time and money.

Milestone Support

Michigan Made

Our Success has been based on innovative products and responsive customer service that meets real world requirements for improved quality and manufacturing efficiency in the market we serve.

That business model has supported our growth since 1984 and we are confident it will continue to be successful in the future as a participant in the global economy.” – Larry Stockline

Promess is a 30 year old firm that develops, manufactures and markets its family of sensing devices, electronics, assembly presses and test systems on a global basis.

The Future

Promess continues to face the same challenge, leading the industry in developing new ways to use sensing technology to help control and improve the manufacturing process. We continue to innovate and create new ways to add value for our customers. Part of that, of course, involves developing new technologies and methods. But even more important and difficult is putting these new ideas into a form that can be widely used in manufacturing. It is one kind of challenge to develop a new process or method in a lab and a whole different challenge to move it to the manufacturing floor. And, it’s an entirely different challenge to package it in a way that can be used across a broad range of different industries. That’s what we do, and it never gets old.
