Further Information
These tailored solutions, wherever possible, will be based on components from the extensive standard range. By using this modular approach, there are significant cost and time advantages to be gained. In most cases, we’re able to deliver successful modular machine solutions based on our standard range. However, we are also proficient in producing totally bespoke machine accessory solutions items to meet customers’ requirements. Our machine solutions, whether bespoke or standard, will draw from our extensive in-house work holding experience with the latest generation of design and visualisation technology.
Our customised solutions process begins once relevant dimensional data – which can also be accepted by fax, post or email – has been imported into MTA’s advanced CAD/CAM system. Then, a 3D visualisation of the problem part is mapped enabling preferred location points to be determined and potential material clashes to be identified quickly and easily. The system also permits alternative approaches to be evaluated rapidly on screen, so that the most appropriate solution can be identified.
