Our electrical grid relies on the effective conversion of mechanical energy into electricity through a variety of types of generators, and industry relies on motors to convert that electrical energy back into mechanical to manufacture goods.

Since the early days of our founding in 1964, CMI has supported the OEM’s and apparatus shops that serviced these rotating devices. We began by manufacturing flexible insulating products that could be die cut or slit, and over the years have grown our capacity to fabricate more complicated rigid insulating components. We can also support your needs for metallic components that compliment the insulation.

With our roots firmly planted in the service industry, CMI has often adapted equipment and methods that supported other industrial applications to reduce lead times for the repair industry. A perfect example was the development of single and double wall Nomex© slot cell insulation by adapting equipment from the transformer industry. CMI manufactured and hipot tested up to 30’ long slot cell when lead times from Europe became excessive.

Our reverse engineering capabilities has advanced from the generation of sketches and blueprints to 3D scanning of old components and CAD modeling. We can even produce 3D printed examples to validate fit and function.

Today CMI is one of the most advanced manufacturers of composite and flexible insulation components and assemblies for rotating equipment. Solutions can be provided for insulation requirements through NEMA Class H.
