Our President: Bob Culley
After
completing his formal training in industrial electronics, Bob
performed the tasks of a bench technician, and running a repair
department. He was a field service engineer for a large international
manufacturer of cigarette production equipment. His responsibilities
included maintaining equipment for the high production and high-pressure
goals of the tobacco industry in all areas of the world. He was
also a technical specialist for the world's largest chemical corporation.
Bob joined Gould/Modicon in 1982 as a field service engineer
responsible for the Virginia area. Bob was troubleshooting systems
throughout the east coast within weeks. After a year he was promoted
to senior field service engineer being tasked with troubleshooting
the more difficult problems and assisting other field engineers
throughout the country. He worked closely with the factory engineers
to locate and rectify any design problems. Bob designed and engineered
many field test fixtures and numerous testing procedures still in
use today. Bob's knowledge of Modicon remote I/O and communications
network earned him recognition as the company expert.
His expertise was called upon for every large or complex
system that Modicon sold or serviced worldwide. Being promoted to
a system specialist allowed him to troubleshoot a multitude of systems
including those in the most remote parts of the globe. Recognized
as an expert in his field, he was commended for his work in all
of the countries in which he performed services. 
As the corporate raiding of the 90's began to affect
the Modicon
lineage (Gould, AEG,ASA, Square D, Schnieder Automation),
Bob
recognized the decline of timely, costly and reliable service.
Bob decided that the time was right to start a full service third
party service company called Delta Automation, Inc., providing the
best in component level repairs, field service, training, system
design, and start-up service.

to customer needs anywhere in short notice.
Roy decided to join Delta Automation, Inc. in May of
1997, bringing with him the commitment to provide his customers

from the service industry today.
Recognized for his leadership abilities as well as
technical skills, Roy was groomed through the manager roles to become
the national service manager in 1993, where he served for 4 years.
Together with Bob Culley, founder of Delta Automation,
