Who’s Using Our CNC Machines?

CNT customers who are fabricating plastics include a major Texas-based commercial manufacturer and a company making parts for computer chip dipping tanks used by high-tech Silicon Valley firms.

Chances are good that you’ve seen merchandise hanging on store fixtures created by one of the country’s largest manufacturers, all done using CNT machines. Creative trade show and museum displays exhibiting around the world are also made with our machines, including components like framework, panels and applied graphics.

Our machines are also being shipped internationally for solid surface fabrication. And, stateside, some of the finest homes have kitchens and bathrooms stylized with solid surface machined by CNT Motion machining centers.

One of CNT’s customers is running five machines 24X7, 363 days a year, to make seating for rapid transit trains and stadiums. They’re using our routers to machine aluminum dies for injection-molding 3D parts including seats, grills and lighting fixtures; and they’re shipping them by the trainload! Another manufacturer uses our systems to make 3D injector dies for PVC parts production.

A curtain wall is an outer, covering of a building designed to protect the building from the outdoor elements. Since the curtain wall is non-structural, it can be made of a lightweight material, reducing construction costs. CNT customers are machining Alucobond® (an aluminum composite material) to produce these pre-engineered exterior panels.

CNT’s growing list of customers includes those involved in the aerospace industry supporting engineering, design, fabrication and off-site testing for aircraft and parts for many of the leading aerospace companies. Our machines are also being used at the Restoration Division of the National Museum of the US Air Force, where they restore aircraft and aerospace vehicles to historically accurate and visually striking levels.

Snowboard manufacturers have found that the best way to meet the demand of this increasingly popular sport is to automate their shops. And one of our customers is the recognized world leader. The number one boat builder in the industry, the only inboard company to earn the prestigious National Marine Manufacturers Association Award for Excellence in Customer Satisfaction four years in a row, is also using our machines to make parts for their world-class luxury and recreational lines. We even have one customer serving the aerospace industry by making helicopter blade cores and machining honeycomb fuel cells.

Some of our largest machines (up to 12X’24’ cutting area!) are being used to machine Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) for home fabricating.

Universities, intermediate and vo-tech schools, trade schools and Carpenters’ Union apprenticeship training centers are also taking advantage of the ease-of-use of our CNC machines to train students and workers in the latest trends in manufacturing and automation.
