First off: I will separate my feedback into several messages, partly because I am too tired to write it all up now.
Your Archmagos: I'd pick either the Servo-arm or the Machinator array. You cannot use both at the same time, as in: either you use Battlesmith twice through the Machinator array or you increasese the repair result by 1 with the Servo-arm. You can never do both at the same time.
The Rad furnace: I see this rarely truly mattering for an Automata heavy force tbh, could be interesting to lower the toughness of certain patterns of Terminator armour, but at a high cost point.
All of these choices are valid, just my two cents on the choices overall.

With the amount of Cybernetica units you have I'd convert a Tech-Priest or even two to Macrotek, to keep your tanks happy and healty. They'd give out Invul saves, you can skip the Cortex controller on those because it does not matter for the tanks and stacking them on a single unit of Automata won't do anything tbh, as those are for the ability to react. Unless your local scene is incredibly sniper heavy having more than one, possibly two, per unit you want to be able to react is just a waste of points imho.
