Precision timing components are of utmost importance when every part needs to sync perfectly as designed. For over 60 years, Custom Machine & Tool Co. Inc. (CMT), located just south of Boston in Massachusetts, celebrates opportunities to assist customers with power transmission solutions when things don’t seem to operate exactly as anticipated.
CMT manufactures the Concentric Maxi Torque keyless hub-to-shaft connection system. One previous customer used a split-hub/clamp collar approach which did not reach the level of precision expected in their application. CMT was able to assist by re-designing the part; the split-hub was removed and replaced with a centered Concentric Maxi Torque bushing. This was able to provide the envisioned results that the customer foresaw in the design phase, while also saving space in the drive train area.
In another case, a leading 3D-printer manufacturer found trouble with the use of readily available, but poorly constructed parts. As CMT prides itself on ‘Made In USA’ components machined from raw metal bars, a solution was soon in sight. By generating teeth as the blank is turned, CMT was able to maintain tight runout and concentricity, ensuring high precision motion control pulleys. By the addition of the newly-produced components, the customer saw their functionality improve, and were able to move forward with their production plans in full confidence.
“Since 1964, my father instilled in me a hard-work mindset, so that I could continue his vision for years to come.” – Robert Bennett, President & CEO, Custom Machine & Tool Co. Inc.
