CMC'S patented Smart Tech Shifter is breaking the boundaries of what was previously possible in shifting needle-bar patterns. With the Smart Tech Shifter, shifting needle-bar speeds up to 1500 RPM's can be achieved in select applications. All under the control of CMC's Command Performance, increased speeds come at no cost to accuracy as the Smart Tech Shifter maintains precise needle-bar positioning at operational tufting speeds. The Smart Tech Shifter is the new standard of efficiency in tufted carpet.
Our innovation system is directed by your voice - the voice of the customer. In a recent tufting industry survey, you said that you look to CMC for solutions to the challenges you face in your mills and in your markets. You said that you count on CMC for Creating Possibilities. New styling capabilities, greater production efficiencies, consistent quality, and predictable production - each have their roots in CMC's Research & Development. From something as fundamental as the rolls on an Infinity motor, or as disruptive as our patentedmachine, CMC leads the way in tufting technology.

Every step of our manufacturing process is important and our skilled tradesmen treat it that way. We are continually investing in new technology along the manufacturing line, like this robotic parts picker, as a way to not only improve our processes but to keep our employees safer.
We can only be as successful as our customers and it is for that reason that partnering with customers and listening to their feedback and desires is a key part of our continued innovations. The Creative Tufting Center (CTC) is one of the primary ways we partner with our customers.

In the CTC we collaborate with our customers to help them create and produce new looks, styles, and product samples for their markets.
