A series of four automatic tuning machines for 9-cell TESLA-type cavities are being developed and fabricated through a collaboration between DESY, FNAL and KEK. These machines are intended to support high-throughput cavity fabrication for construction of large SRF-based accelerator projects. Two of these machines will be delivered to cavity vendors for the tuning of XFEL cavities. The control system for these machines must support a high level of automation adequate for industrial use by non-expert operators. This paper describes the control system hardware and software designs, and shows preliminary results obtained with a tuning machine prototype.
