CTX offers CNC machining, stamping and bending, and injection moulding
With its modern machinery, CTX has extensive capacity for the manufacture of mechanical components. Our focus is on the CNC machining of turned, milled and stamped parts made from steel, copper, aluminium and plastic. Using stamping and bending technology, we produce components from sheet metal. We also manufacture plastic parts using injection moulding.
CTX is renowned for its manufacturing expertise in heat sinks for power electronics. Customers also benefit from this experience when it comes to mechanical components. These include gears, bearings, screws, bolts and all other fasteners and machine components. We manufacture precisely to your drawing specifications. We are happy to assist you in selecting materials and manufacturing processes to ensure that your planned production volumes can be manufactured as cost-effectively as possible.

In which sectors are CTX’s CNC-machined parts used?
Our strength lies in high-precision CNC machining. We carry out work for a wide variety of industries. Our CNC-machined parts are precisely tailored to the individual requirements of their respective applications. Three examples:
Drive technology
In drive technology, CNC parts offering high precision and robustness are in demand. Quenched and tempered steels, for example, are wear-resistant and suitable for gear wheels. High-strength aluminium alloys enable the production of lightweight components with favourable thermal properties, which are in demand in the automotive industry, for example.
Measurement technology
The high precision required in measurement technology calls for turned and milled components that are thermally stable and corrosion-resistant. Among other things, we manufacture aluminium brackets. The material is lightweight, thermally conductive and very easy to machine. This enables us to maintain tolerances in the micrometre range.
Industrial and power electronics
Automation and electrification are driving demand for industrial and power electronics. Mechanical CNC parts are produced here in large quantities. Aluminium enables rapid machining, particularly for spacers and connectors. This reduces process costs. We manufacture small parts such as fastening clips using stamping and bending technology.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about CNC machining
CNC (Computerised Numerical Control) machining is an automated, computer-controlled process for machining workpieces. This enables the machines to achieve consistently high precision at high production speeds. CNC technology allows for the cost-effective production of parts made from different materials and with different geometries.
In CNC milling, a rotating tool removes material from a stationary workpiece. This machining process enables the production of complex geometries and shapes. In CNC turning, the workpiece rotates whilst being machined by the tool. The process is suitable for the precise production of, for example, threads or grooves.
The most common CNC materials are metals and plastics, but wood and composites can also be machined on CNC machines. Therefore, the requirements of the component’s application are the primary factor in selecting the CNC material, for example, weight, temperature resistance or electrical conductivity. The machinability criterion determines the machining speed, surface quality and cost-effectiveness of the process. Aluminium, free-cutting steel and engineering plastics, such as POM (polyoxymethylene), offer good machinability.
In stamping and bending technology, shapes are stamped from sheet metal using a bespoke die and then bent into a component. The process is characterised by high production speeds and optimum material utilisation. Punch-bending technology is therefore suitable for the cost-effective production of thin-walled components in large quantities.
Delivery times for CNC parts depend on various factors. How quickly a turned or milled part can be manufactured is essentially determined by its geometry, machinability and the availability of the material, as well as the quantities to be produced. The delivery time can therefore range from a few days to several weeks.
A enquiry regarding a CNC machining order should include all key cost-related details of the component. A technical drawing and/or CAD model provide information on the dimensions, component design and, where applicable, manufacturing tolerances. Manufacturing processes, materials, surface treatments (where applicable), quantities and the desired delivery time are further details required for price calculation.
