Our Talented and Experienced Engineering Staff
Machine Tool Research, Inc. has several mechanical and controls engineers at our facility in Rochester, NY. Our mechanical engineering capabilities include designing machine tools from scratch, redesigning parts, designing or retrofitting components and machine analysis. MTR engineers can run Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of machine components to determine rigidity and machine stability, calculate tool loads, and machine forces.
Hydraulic, lubrication, pneumatic, and coolant systems are also designed and integrated by our mechanical engineers. Our controls engineers design and integrate control systems for new and vintage machines from design inception to the training of operators.

Controls Engineering
At MTR, our controls engineering department utilizes the latest Autodesk Design software to integrate new CNC/PLC controls on new and vintage machine tools. Our complete engineered packages include schematics, software and commissioning of your machine tool. We also offer qualified service technicians to troubleshoot and repair your existing machine tool. Services include but are not limited to tuning axes, spindles, integration of new scales and encoders, modifying ladder logic, integrating new tool changers, adding macro programs and implementing custom screens. MTR has a panel building shop in-house and our engineering department works directly with technicians during the build process and testing phases. MTR is a certified Fanuc Systems integrator and a Siemens Solutions Partner. MTR is partnered with Heidenhain as a distributor in the North Eastern United States area; we integrate linear scales and rotary encoders from Heidenhain and completely support the parts and service of these measuring systems. Our controls engineering staff has decades of experience to retrofit your machine with a new control to make your production more efficient and reliable.
Mechanical Engineering
MTR employs mechanical engineers that utilize the latest Autodesk 2D and 3D modeling software to design and procure parts. Our engineering staff is capable of designing new machine tools and engineering solutions to modernize damaged and/or obsolete parts for your machine. Retrofitting with the latest CNC technology to enhance your machines capacity and efficiency for your product line is a welcomed challenge for our engineering staff.
