Our Program In Action

A large automotive manufacturer uses only special indexable cutting tool holders to manufacture precision parts. This indexable tooling is very expensive to replace, is held to very tight tolerances, and is imported from overseas creating extensive lead times. CTS developed an indexable tool repair program to eliminate these problems. The indexable tool repair program is set up for CTS to house master prints and inserts for inspection to ensure quality. CTS' inspection procedure is designed to mirror the receiving inspection procedure of the customer. In order to reduce delivery time, the customer issues a blanket order so that repair can begin as soon as the tools arrive at CTS. The customer now saves over $200,000 annually with this indexable tool repair program.
