Product
Machine builders and integrators need parts that fit first time, in the mixed small quantities a project actually generates. Made to your drawing, with the fits and hardness the elements require.
Best for
Locators, bushes, spindles and elements for cells and fixtures
You send
Drawing package, material, treatment and delivery target
You get back
Elements inspected on the fits that define cell accuracy
How it starts
Fits and tolerances queried before manufacture
The situation
Rarely the design. Usually the twenty different small parts that all have to arrive correct at once.
What you get
Machined and ground elements for machine builders, integrators and fixture makers.
Fits and tolerances are reviewed against the drawing and queried early rather than interpreted silently.
Many part numbers in small quantities is the standard pattern for this work, not an exception we charge for.
Materials and treatment per your drawing, with grinding on fits and wearing surfaces.
Worn elements from machines already in service can be reverse engineered and replaced.
Machine builders, automation companies and fixture makers need a steady supply of precision elements that fit first time. CMTA manufactures these to drawing, in the quantities a project actually needs, with the ground fits and hardness the elements require.
Made to drawing rather than from a catalogue: locating pins and bushes, drill bushes, rest pads, clamp arms, spindles, arbors and adaptor plates.
Compatibility is defined by your drawing. CMTA reviews fits and tolerances before manufacture and raises questions early, which is usually cheaper than being agreeable.
Materials and treatment per drawing, grinding on fits and wearing surfaces, and inspection reports on request for elements that define cell accuracy.

FAQ
The questions engineers and buyers ask before sending a drawing. If yours is not here, ask it directly — you will get an engineer's answer, not a brochure.
Still have a question?
Talk to Anita M.N, Managing Partner, or send the drawing and let the review answer it.
Drawing package, Material and treatment, Quantity and delivery, Critical fits and finish, Inspection documentation required. If you are unsure of any of these, send a photograph of the current holder and the machine nameplate — that is usually enough for us to confirm the rest.
Yes. Variations in length, reach, interface, clamping or tool size are manufactured to order. Fully custom variants go through the custom tool holder process, with a drawing approved by you before manufacture.
Against three things: the machine interface, the tool interface and the working envelope. Where an existing item is being replaced, matching it to your sample or original part number is the most reliable route of all.
Yes. A drawing is manufactured to its stated tolerances; a sample is measured and reverse engineered into a drawing for your approval, and then manufactured.
