Transportation

From the latest hybrid propulsion system for cars and buses, to starters and blowers for military and commercial aircraft, or turn of the century electrical controls for trolley cars, CMI supports the transportation industry with our fabrication and reverse engineering services.

Public transportation systems and military applications require attention to details. CMI has developed systems of checks and balances to ensure proper materials and documentation match our fabrication skills. Our MRP system can maintain lot traceability on raw materials and our Quality System is audited regularly to support our registration to ISO 9001:2008.

Our vertical integration in manufacturing allows CMI to provide complex assemblies and kits that combine composite and plastic materials with metallic components and hardware. When we do require outside subcontracting, our MRP and Quality Systems monitor our supply chain for on time delivery and high quality standards.

Reverse engineering is important when drawings are no longer available. CMI can 3D scan and CAD model replacement components and can assist in identifying alternate materials when original materials are obsolete or hard to identify. We have a successful track record of providing solutions when others have failed.
